The storm is expected to produce heavy rain of 5 to 10 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches across portions of the Central Gulf Coast and life-threatening flash floods across coastal Mississippi and Alabama, as well as the far western Florida Panhandle, the Weather Service said. Considerable flash, urban and small stream flooding is expected to continue through the weekend along the central Gulf Coast with floods spreading northeastward into the interior Southeast.
Tornado warnings were issued from the Mississippi coast to the western Florida panhandle with a tornado watch for parts of Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida panhandle. Along with flooding and tornadoes, there is a high risk of rip currents and high surf at beaches in affected areas near Gulf Coast shores.
