Areal Flood Warning

Statement as of 8:22 AM CST on January 06, 2009

Expires 12:15 PM EST on January 06, 2009


The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a

* Flood Warning for...
southern DeKalb County in northeast Alabama...
southeastern Marshall County in northeast Alabama...

* until 1115 am CST

* at 820 am CST... emergency management officials reported bridge
flooding on three roads in Boaz. Additionally... other small
streams and creeks were running near bankfull in both southeastern
Marshall and southern DeKalb counties. Although rain amounts will
be generally light for the next few hours... existing flooding will
continue.

Big Wills Creek at Fort Payne was at 9.13 feet... and rising
rapidly... at 745 am CST. The river could approach the flood stage of
11 feet by midday today.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.

Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 4:27 AM CST on January 06, 2009

Expires 1:00 AM EST on January 07, 2009


... Flood Watch remains in effect through this evening...

The Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Alabama and southern middle Tennessee... including
the following areas... in Alabama... Colbert... Cullman... De
Kalb... Franklin al... Jackson... Lauderdale... Lawrence...
Limestone... Madison... Marshall and Morgan. In southern middle
Tennessee... Franklin TN... Lincoln and Moore.

* Through this evening

* periods of heavy rain will affect the Tennessee Valley through
this evening as a low pressure system approaches the lower
Mississippi Valley and tracks to the northeast. Rainfall totals
through 5 am this morning have ranged generally from one quarter
to one inch... with locally higher amounts up to one and one half
of an inch. Additional amounts will occur throughout the day as
the low pressure system moves closer to the region.

* Storm total rainfall amounts will range from two to four
inches... with isolated locations receiving over five inches.
Given the already saturated soils around the area... this
volume of rainfall could cause significant flooding threats
along area creeks and rivers.

A Flood Watch means that flooding is possible but not imminent in
the watch area. People in the watch area are advised to check
preparedness requirements... keep informed... and be ready for
quick action if flooding threatens.
