HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala. (WDNews) – A Flood Watch remains in effect from 4:19 p.m. through Tuesday evening, August 5, for much of southeast Alabama, including Houston, Dale, Geneva, Coffee, and Henry counties, as well as parts of north Florida and southwest Georgia.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, excessive rainfall continues to pose a risk for flash flooding across the region. An additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected, with isolated areas possibly seeing up to 5 to 8 inches, especially where the ground is already saturated from weekend storms.
Flooding may occur in:
-
Rivers, creeks, and streams
-
Urban areas with poor drainage
-
Low-lying or flood-prone locations
Officials urge residents to monitor local alerts and avoid driving through flooded roadways. Debris may clog storm drains and ditches, further increasing flood risks.
Stay weather-aware and prepare for potential flash flooding, especially if you live in an area that’s already seen heavy rainfall.
