There is a risk for isolated flooding through Saturday AM, mainly across far northeastern portions of Central Alabama where a Flood Watch is in effect. Most likely rainfall amounts are around an inch, but isolated 2-4" amounts are possible which may lead to flooding of low-lying areas, rivers/creeks, and roads. -
#ALwx #graphicast #HUN Flood Watch for Flash Flooding is in effect from 7pm tonight until 7pm Friday for locations along and east of I-65. Don't drive through flooded roadways, turn around, don't drown!

Dangerous Surf Continues Along Alabama Beaches
Tropical Storm Bertha continues moving west across southeastern Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The storm is expected to track along the Louisiana and upper Texas coast through Thursday before weakening inland Thursday night.
While Bertha is moving farther away from Alabama, tropical storm conditions will continue along the northern Gulf Coast through Wednesday night, with gusty winds and minor coastal flooding still possible in vulnerable low-lying areas.
Dangerous beach conditions remain the biggest concern for Alabama beaches. A High Surf Warning remains in effect until 3 PM Thursday, with surf of 7 to 9 feet tonight before gradually subsiding to 4 to 6 feet Thursday.
A High Rip Current Risk continues through late Thursday night, making Gulf swimming extremely dangerous. Winds will slowly diminish on Thursday, with only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms as conditions continue to improve heading into Friday.

From NC’s Weather Authority on FB: Tropical Update: Say hello to Tropical Storm Bertha (NC knows Bertha all too well, so glad it's not coming here), which developed last night and is about 175 miles Southeast of Mobile, Alabama. It is a disorganized storm, with most of the weather on the south side of the center, but it has managed to strengthen, with winds of 50 MPH and a pressure of 997 MB this morning. The system is expected to move towards the Northern Gulf Coast over the next 48 hours and bring impacts to Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from the Alabama/Florida border to the Jefferson/Plaquemines Parish border
in Louisiana. A Storm Surge Watch is in effect for the Alabama/Florida Border to the Mouth of the Mississippi River
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Bay/Gulf County line in Florida westward to the Florida/Alabama border, west of the Jefferson/Plaquemines Parish border to Morgan City, Louisiana, Metropolitan New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, and Lake MaurepasThe National Hurricane Center says "Bertha is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Gulf Coast from Alabama westward to southeastern Louisiana tonight and Wednesday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. Tropical storm conditions are possible for portions of the Florida Panhandle, Metro New Orleans, and the southern Gulf Coast of Louisiana, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect.
2. A Storm Surge Watch is in effect for the Alabama, Mississippi, and southeastern Louisiana coasts, where a life-threatening storm surge is possible Areas of flash flooding will be possible through Thursday along the Gulf Coast and adjacent inland locations from the Florida Big Bend region to southern Louisiana, with isolated instances of flash flooding possible westward into portions of the Texas coast later in
the week"This will not impact NC, but we have our own mess from an incoming stalled front later this week. I'll keep you posted on everything!

From NOAA NWS NHC on FB: ...DEPRESSION EXPECTED TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM LATER TODAY...
...AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING
THE SYSTEM...At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Two was located about 210 miles southeast of Mobile, Alabama. The depression is moving toward the northwest near 3 mph (6 km/h). A slow northwestward motion is expected during the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest or west. On the forecast track, the depression will move near or along the northern Gulf coast during the next several days. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast, and the depression is
expected to become a tropical storm later today.HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
---------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area by tonight into Tuesday.
STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Indian Pass to Chassahowitzka, FL...1 to 3 ft
MS/AL Border to AL/FL Border...1 to 3 ft
Mobile Bay...1 to 3 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.
RAINFALL: The tropical depression is expected to produce rainfall
amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher totals around 6 inches
through Friday along the Gulf Coast and adjacent inland locations
from western Florida to the Middle Texas Coast, including southern
portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. This rainfall may
produce areas of flash flooding, especially in urban areas.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Tropical Depression Two, please see the National Weather Service
Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero.
SURF: Swells generated by the depression are affecting portions of
the Gulf coast of Florida and are likely to spread westward during
the week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
