NWS Huntsville has issued a FLASH FLOOD WATCH effective immediately for the following counties in North Alabama: Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Lawrence, Marshall, and Morgan. The watch is set to expire at 8:00 pm tonight.
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will push across northern Alabama this afternoon into this evening ahead of a cold front. Combined with pre-saturated soils and an axis of heavier rainfall shifting northward, this will provide a flash flood threat for mainly counties south of the Tennessee River this afternoon into this evening. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is possible with locally higher amounts are possible by tonight.
