* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Alabama, including the following
areas, Geneva and Houston, Florida, including the following areas,
Calhoun, Central Walton, Coastal Bay, Coastal Franklin, Coastal
Gulf, Coastal Jefferson, Coastal Wakulla, Gadsden, Holmes, Inland
Bay, Inland Franklin, Inland Gulf, Inland Jefferson, Inland
Wakulla, Jackson, Leon, Madison, North Walton, Northern Liberty,
South Walton, Southern Liberty and Washington, and Georgia,
including the following areas, Baker, Ben Hill, Berrien, Brooks,
Calhoun, Colquitt, Cook, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Irwin,
Lanier, Lee, Lowndes, Miller, Mitchell, Randolph, Seminole,
Terrell, Thomas, Tift, Turner and Worth.

* WHEN...Through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are forecast for most
of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches
possible through Monday, especially along the Emerald and
Forgotten Coasts. Another area of concern is across south-central
Georgia where locally heavy rainfall since Friday afternoon has
primed the region more so than the rest of our area, so it wont
take as much rain to cause flash flooding. Across the flood watch
area, very high rain rates due to the tropical air mass may lead
to flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas.
