Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — Heavy rain and repeated thunderstorms created flooding concerns across parts of Alabama during the Memorial Day weekend as wet weather continued moving across the state.
In south Alabama, Mobile County and surrounding Gulf Coast communities saw some of the heaviest rainfall totals as tropical moisture pushed inland throughout the holiday weekend. Repeated rounds of storms led to localized flooding concerns, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Flooding remained one of the biggest weather concerns across Mobile and the Gulf Coast region as showers and thunderstorms continued redeveloping through Memorial Day. Roads in some areas experienced standing water while periods of heavy rainfall reduced visibility for drivers.
Across the Wiregrass, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue into the evening hours Monday. Forecasters say warm and humid conditions will keep the chance for additional heavy rainfall in place through tonight, with isolated flooding possible in areas that receive repeated storms.
Residents are urged to use caution while traveling, especially during heavier downpours. Drivers are also reminded to never attempt to drive through flooded roadways.
Rain chances are expected to remain elevated through much of the week across southeast Alabama as the unsettled weather pattern lingers.
