Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Periods of heavy rain remain likely through Tuesday afternoon. Training showers and storms are expected to move in from the Gulf as they overspread the Florida Panhandle into portions of southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia later today. A similar setup is expected Tuesday. While there is a bit of uncertainty with regards to where the heaviest rain will fall on Tuesday, parts of the area received upwards of 5" to 9" Sunday afternoon and evening, which has caused 1-hr Flash Flood Guidance to drop to around 2". That doesn't even include any of today's rain, which could reduce that further. For this reason, the Flood Watch was extended through Tuesday afternoon. Rainfall rates of 2" to 4" per hour are expected within the more efficient rain producing showers and storms. Additional widespread rainfall through Tuesday is between 1" to 3", but localized areas could see upwards of 8" or more with most CAM guidance suggesting that occurring along the Emerald Coast into the Florida Panhandle. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
