Flash Flood Warning Issued For Parts Of Cherokee And Etowah Counties

Heavy rain continues across North Alabama on the north side of the upper low, which is moving across South Central Alabama.

With the recent drought, it’s hard to imagine that we could be worried about flooding, but the steady rain all afternoon and last night are causing some problems.

The rain over Northwest Alabama should begin pivoting southeastward as the love moves eastward. This could pull it into the Birmingham area later.
