BULLETIN...IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
300 PM CDT MON APR 11 2005

...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOBILE HAS ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH
FOR FLASH FLOODING FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES UNTIL 9 AM TUESDAY...

IN SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...ESCAMBIA...COVINGTON...WASHINGTON...CONECUH...
MONROE...BUTLER...CLARKE...CRENSHAW...WILCOX...CHOCTAW...BALDWIN AND
MOBILE COUNTIES.

IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...GEORGE...STONE...PERRY...GREENE AND WAYNE
COUNTIES.

IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA...OKALOOSA...ESCAMBIA AND SANTA ROSA COUNTIES.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS WILL SLOWLY PUSH
EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE REGION. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE
NUMEROUS FROM LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. SOME STORMS HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME AREAS SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE
WATCH AREA. EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...WITH
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. THESE RAINS
OVER AN ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF FLASH
FLOODING OVERNIGHT. THE MORE FAVORABLE INSTABILITIES AND MOISTURE
WILL BE POOLED ACROSS THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA COASTAL
COUNTIES...MAKING THEM ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH
FLOODING TONIGHT.

REMEMBER...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING OF SMALL
STREAMS...CREEKS AND OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE
WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE
WEATHER AND BE PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAINS AND
FLOODING OCCUR OR A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

MOST FLASH FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES ATTEMPTING TO CROSS
FLOODED AREAS. RAPIDLY RISING WATER CAN EASILY CARRY A VEHICLE AND
ITS OCCUPANTS DOWN STREAM. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS
HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE DANGERS OF FLOODING. REMEMBER TO TURN
AROUND...DONT DROWN.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
