Florida, Gadsden

Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 12:57 PM CST on March 10, 2010

Expires 7:00 PM EST on March 12, 2010


... The Flood Watch is now in effect from 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ this
evening through Friday evening...

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has expanded the

* Flood Watch to include portions of Florida and south central
Georgia... including the following areas... in Florida... Dixie...
Franklin... Gadsden... Gulf... Jefferson... Lafayette... Leon...
Liberty... Madison... Taylor and Wakulla. In south central
Georgia... Brooks... Lanier... Lowndes and Thomas.

* From 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ this evening through Friday evening

* a series of disturbances in the active sub tropical jet stream
will slide eastward along the northern Gulf Coast during the
next couple of days... as a large upper level low slowly
organizes over the mid to lower Mississippi Valley. The first
system is expected to develop a surface low and impact the
region tonight into Thursday while a second low may produce a
similar impact to the region on Thursday night into Friday. The
bottom line is the potential for some very heavy rainfall totals
across the region during the next couple of days... with
widespread 3 to 4 inch amounts not expected to be uncommon
before all is said and done. In fact... locally higher amounts of
up to 5 or even 6 inches inches cannot be ruled out at this
time... so all interests are urged to keep abreast of the latest
situation and forecasts from the National Weather Service. At
the very least... these heavy rainfall amounts will cause
flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas and the rainfall
that has already fallen upstream today will likely impact our
area rivers down the line over the weekend.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
