Flood Watch
Issued: 6:09 AM Oct. 4, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Alabama, including the following
areas, Geneva and Houston, Florida, including the following areas,
Calhoun, Coastal Franklin, Coastal Jefferson, Coastal Wakulla,
Gadsden, Inland Franklin, Inland Jefferson, Inland Wakulla,
Jackson, Leon, Madison, Northern Liberty and Southern Liberty, and

* WHEN...Through Monday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches are forecast for most
of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 10 inches
possible, especially along the Emerald Coast. Another area of
concern is across south-central Georgia where locally heavy rain
the past two afternoons has primed the region more so than the
rest of our area, so it wonbt take as much rain to cause flash
flooding. Additionally, very high rain rates due to the tropical
air mass in place may lead to flash flooding, especially in urban
and poor drainage areas.
