While Ida’s is no longer a hurricane, it will still need to be monitored here in Central and Southern Alabama, not only for a threat of some gusty winds, but for a threat of flooding.
In fact, most of the state is under a Flood Watch. This Flood Watch goes into effect at 9pm this evening and lasts through tomorrow afternoon. Some places could possibly see 3 to 6 inches of rain across the area. Thankfully, the dry weather that we have seen over the past few days works to our advantage. This will somewhat curb the threat for immediate flooding, although some urban areas could still see isolated flooding.
Already, the leading northern edge of the rain has moved into Southern parts of the state, with cities such as Troy, Andalusia and Selma seeing the start of that rainfall. It will slowly spread across the rest of the state, especially late tonight into tomorrow.
Stay tuned to this blog, WSFA 12 News, and WSFA.com for all of the latest on Ida, including the flooding threat.
