Thanks for the ping. Looks like a lot of activity starting.

The Birmingham, AL NWS office is so befuzzled with all the active weather, they came out and said they're not even going to try to forecast potential tropical impacts for our area yet, other than to say rain is likely (50% - 70%) for the next week. One good bit of news is, come the tail end of the 3-5 Day Outlook, our high temps aren't going to climb out of the 70's for the first time since probably May. This entire summer season has been brutal with triple-digit heat indices. I am so ready for fall weather.

Birmingham NWS field office is shifting the flood potential and looking at the situation south of I-20 now, particularly along the I-85 corridor (that’s us). They’re now calling for 4”-8” in East Central Alabama, with locally higher amounts (possibly up to 12”). A Flood Watch has been issued; river and creek flash flooding is possible; a conditional tornado threat is along a line from Selma to Auburn. Winds 15-20 MPH sustained with 30 MPH gusts outside of convective bands; 30-40 MPH in heavier bands.
