TROPICAL STORM ARLENE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL NEAR MOBILE THIS
AFTERNOON. RECENT RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE THAT THE
HEAVIEST RAIN HAS NOW SHIFTED TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE STORM
CENTER AS DRY AIR ALOFT WRAPS AROUND THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF ARLENE. THIS MAY LIMIT THE FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA...SOUTH GEORGIA...AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN SOME NARROW RAIN
BANDS MOVING NORTH OFF THE GULF. SOME FLOODING IS STILL POSSIBLE IN
LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS SO THE FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE.
HOWEVER...IF THE RECENT DRYING TREND CONTINUES THE FLOOD WATCH MAY BE
CANCELLED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THIS AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
