* FROM THIS EVENING TO SUNDAY AFTERNOON

* TROPICAL STORM ARLENE CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHWEST ACROSS THE

EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED ACROSS AREAS WEST OF INTERSTATE 65...WHERE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE. ELSEWHERE...TOTAL
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED...WITH SOME
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS.

* RECENT RAINFALL HAS ALLOWED SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS TO REBOUND

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING IS POSSIBLE BUT NOT IMMINENT IN
THE WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA ARE ADVISED TO CHECK
PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS...KEEP INFORMED...AND BE READY FOR
QUICK ACTION IF FLOODING THREATENS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODS. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED...ACT QUICKLY. MOVE TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT
TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...COMMERCIAL MEDIA OR YOUR CABLE
TELEVISION PROVIDER FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
