Rain chances are expected to increase Tuesday and remain high through Saturday as several waves of precipitation move through Central Alabama. Currently, forecast rainfall totals range from 2-3 inches in the southeast to over 6 inches across Marion and Winston counties. Much of this rainfall could occur on Wednesday into Thursday, and areas of northwest Central Alabama have been placed in a Moderate Risk for Excessive Rainfall by the WPC. Heavy rainfall could cause streams and flood prone areas to quickly become inundated. A Flash Flood or Flood Watch may be issued in later forecasts, and the axis of highest rainfall totals may change as the week evolves. Interests across Central Alabama are urged to monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take quick action if flooding develops. $$ 12/HR
