to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

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





952 am CDT Sat may 18 2013

The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued an

* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for minor flooding of poor
drainage areas in...
Chambers County in east central Alabama...
northeastern Coosa County in east central Alabama...
Lee County in east central Alabama...
Tallapoosa County in east central Alabama...
northeastern Bullock County in southeast Alabama...
eastern Macon County in southeast Alabama...
Russell County in southeast Alabama...

* until 1245 PM CDT

* at 949 am CDT slow moving thunderstorms will move through the
advised area. Some locations have already received 1 to 2 inches
of rain... with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected. Widespread
flash flooding is not expected with this band of rain... but a few
localized areas could see some minor flooding through the rest of
the morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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.

To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.
