/500 AM CST TUE DEC 15 2009/
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WIDESPREAD FOG CONTINUING TO IMPACT THE COASTAL AREA THIS
MORNING. FOG IS NOT AS DENSE AS YESTERDAY...BUT VISIBILITIES ARE
STILL EXPECTED TO BE LOW IN SOME AREAS AS WELL AS OUT OVER THE
WATERS. SHOWERS AND STORMS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL
ALSO CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. RAIN
SHOULD BE LIGHT IN NATURE...BUT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN COMBINATION WITH THE ALREADY SATURATED
GROUNDS WILL CAUSE FLOODING CONCERNS. SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOODING
IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE WHERE RAINS WERE EXCESSIVE ON MONDAY
EVENING AND TUESDAY MORNING. ALSO...OFFSHORE WINDS AND SEAS MAY
REACH ADVISORY LEVELS AFTER MIDNIGHT IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.
SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOODING IS OCCURRING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. THIS FLOODING IS EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. PLEASE CONSULT THE LATEST
FLOOD WARNINGS FOR EXPECTED IMPACTS AND RIVER STAGES.

THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH
ADVISORY LEVELS AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY AS THE GULF LOW PASSES SOUTH
OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF
RAINFALL TO ACCOMPANY THIS LOW ON FRIDAY. THIS RAINFALL POTENTIAL
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY...ESPECIALLY FOR NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA AS SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL HAS ALREADY IMPACTED
THESE REGIONS THIS WEEK.
IN THE WAKE OF THIS LOW...DURING THE EARLY PORTION OF NEXT WEEK A
