(WDNews) – A Flood Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service, effective from the early morning hours of September 14 through 7:00 AM central time on Sunday, September 15.

What to Expect:

-Heavy rainfall could lead to potential flooding in several counties across southeast Alabama, including Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston. Neighboring counties in Georgia are also under alert, including areas such as Early, Miller, and Colquitt.

-Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected, with localized areas seeing between 3 to 5 inches in a short time span.

-Soils are already saturated from previous rain, increasing the risk for flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas.

Potential Impacts:

-Flooding could occur in rivers, creeks, and flood-prone areas.

-Poor drainage areas and cities could see quick water buildup.

Stay updated and prepared if you’re in any of the affected areas.
