The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a

and southeast Mississippi... including the following areas... in
Alabama... Butler... Choctaw... Clarke... Conecuh... Covington...

Washington and Wilcox. In northwest Florida... inland
Escambia... inland Okaloosa and inland Santa Rosa. In southeast
Mississippi... George... Greene... Perry... stone and Wayne.

* From Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night

* a vigorous upper level disturbance combined with a strong surface
cold front will move across the central Gulf Coast region Tuesday
and Tuesday night. Ahead of the front showers and thunderstorms can
be expected becoming widespread across much of the forecast area
late Tuesday and Tuesday night. Due to deep moisture advection out
ahead of this system beginning later today and tonight and
continuing through late Tuesday night combined with saturated soil
conditions from earlier precipitation last week and over the
weekend along with the possibility of widespread showers and
thunderstorms later tonight... conditions could become prime for
flash flooding especially in low lying areas prone to flooding and
near creeks and streams... Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.

A Flash Flood Watch means that rapid flooding of streams... creeks
and other drainage areas will be possible within the watch area.
People in the watch area should check preparedness
requirements... keep informed... and be ready for quick action if flash
flooding is observed or if a warning is issued. Do not stay in areas
subject to flooding when water begins rising.

Remember... be especially cautious at night when it is harder to
recognize the dangers of floods and flash floods. Do not drive your
vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water
depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Remember to
turn around... and don't drown.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
