* A COLD FRONT ADVANCES VERY SLOWLY EAST ACROSS LOUISIANA TONIGHT.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...A SHIELD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAIN OR MOVE ACROSS THE
SAME AREAS TONIGHT. THIS RESULTS IN AN INCREASED RISK OF FLOODING.

* LATEST DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR RAINFALL ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT 1 TO
LOCALLY 2 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE FALLEN OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
THESE RAINS ARE FORECAST TO SLOWLY OVERSPREAD SOUTHWEST ALABAMA
THROUGH THE NIGHT. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY
MORNING COULD TOTAL 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE WATCH AREA. THE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS COULD RESULT IN FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS... CREEKS AND
SOME RIVER SYSTEMS LATE TONIGHT. AREAS WITH POOR DRAINAGE WILL
ALSO BE AT AN INCREASED RISK FOR RAPID FLOODING.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS
SITUATION...ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN WATER COVERED ROADS ARE HARDER
TO SEE.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
