NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1010 PM CDT MON APR 11 2005

...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOBILE HAS CONTINUED THE FLOOD
WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES UNTIL 9 AM
TUESDAY...

IN SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...ESCAMBIA...COVINGTON...WASHINGTON...CONECUH...
MONROE...BUTLER...CLARKE...CRENSHAW...WILCOX...CHOCTAW...BALDWIN AND
MOBILE COUNTIES.

IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...GEORGE...STONE...PERRY...GREENE AND WAYNE
COUNTIES.

IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA...OKALOOSA...ESCAMBIA AND SANTA ROSA COUNTIES.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
GREAT PLAINS WILL BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION OVERNIGHT. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT 10 PM WERE ACROSS
INLAND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALABAMA
AND THE WEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE BETWEEN 11 PM AND 4 AM. SOME STORMS
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME AREAS SEVERAL TIMES
WITHIN THE WATCH AREA. EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2
INCHES...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.
THESE RAINS OVER AN ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL INCREASE THE
THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT. THE MORE FAVORABLE INSTABILITIES
AND MOISTURE WILL BE ACROSS THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA
COASTAL COUNTIES...MAKING THEM ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE FOR FLOODING
TONIGHT.

REMEMBER...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING OF SMALL
STREAMS...CREEKS AND OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE
WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE
WEATHER AND BE PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAINS AND
FLOODING OCCUR OR A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

MOST FLASH FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES ATTEMPTING TO CROSS
FLOODED AREAS. RAPIDLY RISING WATER CAN EASILY CARRY A VEHICLE AND
ITS OCCUPANTS DOWN STREAM. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS
HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE DANGERS OF FLOODING. REMEMBER TO TURN
AROUND...DON'T DROWN.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
