The flood watch continues for
* portions of central alabama, east central alabama, northeast alabama, northwest alabama, and west central alabama, including the following areas, in central alabama, bibb, blount, jefferson, shelby, st. Clair, talladega, and walker. In east central alabama, calhoun, clay, and cleburne. In northeast alabama, cherokee and etowah. In northwest alabama, marion and winston. In west central alabama, fayette, lamar, pickens, and tuscaloosa.
* through late thursday night
* multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are anticipated for portions of north central alabama through friday morning. Surface soil conditions are already saturated, and much of this rainfall will runoff quickly, filling low lying areas, ditches, and creeks. Local rivers and streams will also rise due to excessive rainfall locally and across upstream river basins. Total rain amounts since sunday are already 2 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts. An additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible over the watch area through friday morning. Yet another storm system will slide through over the weekend and will monitor closely for an extension of the watch.
* those with interests in flood prone or low lying areas, and along local rivers in north and west central alabama, should be ready to take action if water levels rise.
