– Northeast Madison county and most of Jackson County in Alabama received 7-8 inches of rainfall yesterday. Elsewhere,
3-5 inches of rain fell in the watch area. Additional rainfall today will worsen flood conditions. Due to saturated soils, additional rainfall today will be almost entirely runoff. Widespread totals up to 1-2 inches are forecast, but the potential for bullseyes of 4-6 inches introduces the considerable flooding threat.
