Flash Flood Warning SE Alabama

| December 30, 2015 @ 9:44 am

Heavy rain was once again moving through Southeast Alabama prompting a flash flood warning for all or parts of Coffee, Geneva, and Dale counties until 3:30 pm CST this afternoon. Here is the map of the warning (green outline) along with the radar overlay. I will not be surprised to see additional flash flood warnings during the late morning and afternoon.
