Heavy Rainfall May Cause Flooding In Central Alabama

The Flash Flood Watch has been extended in time for Autauga, Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Chilton, Coosa, Dallas, Etowah, Hale, Jefferson, Lowndes, Marengo, Perry, Shelby, St. Clair, and Talladega counties until 5:00 AM.

A line of thunderstorms will slow down over Central Alabama and not clear the area until late tonight. This could result in some flash flooding. Poor drainage and low lying areas will be the most prone to this flooding. Additionally, rises on rivers and creeks are anticipated.

The Flash Flood Watch in effect for Fayette, Greene, Lamar, Marion, Pickens, Sumter, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston counties has been cancelled. Heavy rain has ended and moved east. Therefore, the flooding threat has ended.
