    NOAA graphic showing the Excessive Rainfall Forecast for Thursday, June 18 across the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley. The highest flash flooding threat (high risk, purple) is concentrated along the central Gulf Coast near coastal Mississippi and Alabama, including areas near Mobile. A surrounding moderate risk area (red) extends from southeast Louisiana near New Orleans east through southern Mississippi and Alabama and north toward Birmingham and Atlanta. A broader slight risk area (yellow) stretches from Louisiana and Mississippi northeast through Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and parts of the southern Appalachians, while marginal risk areas (green) extend farther outward. The forecast highlights the potential for significant to potentially dangerous flash flooding from tropical moisture and repeated heavy rainfall, especially near the central Gulf Coast.

    Are you under a flash flood watch or warning? Follow these tips from @Readygov: - Avoid driving if possible. - Be aware of road conditions, they may change within a matter of a few miles. - Do NOT drive through floodwaters or around barricades.

Move to high ground immediately. Flood watch: flooding is possible. Stay tuned to radio/tv for info and be ready to move to higher ground"

    A High Risk for Excessive Rainfall has been issued for portions of the Central Gulf Coast today. High Risks are not issued lightly & indicate the potential for both widespread & life-threatening flash flooding. 🛑NEVER walk or drive into flood waters. Turn around, don't drown!
    The graphic depicts WPC's Excessive Rainfall Outlook which uses categories on an escalating scale. Starting at Marginal, then Slight, followed by Moderate, and then High. High Risks are issued when severe, widespread flash flooding is expected and can be life-threatening.
