FRANCINE Land Hazards

• WIND - Wind gusts to tropical-storm force are possible for the next few hours over portions of central Mississippi and western Alabama.
• RAINFALL - Francine is expected to bring storm total rainfall of 4 to 8 inches across portions of Mississippi, eastern Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. Localized amounts of 12 inches are possible over portions of Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and Georgia. This rainfall could lead to considerable flash and urban flooding.
• STORM SURGE - Water levels remain elevated along the Gulf coast between eastern Louisiana and Alabama but will recede through this afternoon.
• TORNADOES - A few tornadoes are possible today across the Florida Panhandle, southern and central Alabama, and southwest Georgia.
• SURF - Swells generated by Francine should subside along the northern Gulf coast through today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
