Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 1:27 PM CST on November 9, 2009/

... Flood Watch in effect through Tuesday evening...

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of southeast Alabama... Florida and
Georgia... including the following areas... in southeast
Alabama... Coffee... Dale... Geneva... Henry and Houston. In
Florida... Bay... Calhoun... coastal Walton... Franklin...
Gadsden... Gulf... Holmes... inland Walton... Jackson...
Jefferson... Leon... Liberty... Wakulla and Washington. In
Georgia... Baker... Decatur... early... Grady... Miller...
Mitchell... Seminole and Thomas.

* Through Tuesday evening

* Tropical Storm Ida is forecast to move ashore the northern Gulf
Coast late tonight or early Tuesday morning. Even though Ida is
expected to gradually weaken and begin transitioning into a non-
tropical low pressure system tonight or Tuesday... there will
still be bands of heavy rain that affect portions of the Gulf
Coast states. Storm total rainfall amounts will generally be in
the 2 to 4 inch range from this evening through Tuesday evening.
These amounts would not exceed local flash flood guidance (for a
3-hour period). However... there could be locally higher amounts
of 4 to 6 inches in areas affected by heavier rain bands.

* The main impact will be to poor drainage areas in cities... low-
lying rural and suburban areas... and along creeks and streams. Heavy
rainfall is more likely to cause rapid rises in water at such
locations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood
warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop. Flooded roads can
be especially dangerous to motorists... as it can be difficult to
see how deep standing water is on roadways. This danger is
enhanced at nighttime.

Inland Tropical Wind Watch Statement as of 11:30 am CST on November 9, 2009/

... Tropical storm wind watch remains in effect from Tuesday
morning through Wednesday afternoon...

... New information...
Tropical Storm Ida continues to weaken as it approaches the
northern Gulf Coast... and this trend is expected to continue.

... Precautionary/preparedness actions...
precautionary/preparedness actions...

It is still unclear as to how much Tropical Storm Ida will weaken
tonight and Tuesday as it moves inland and loses its tropical
characteristics. For this reason... residents are still advised of
the possibility of storm force wind gusts up to 40 mph. As a
precaution... loose objects such as garbage cans... patio
furniture... and dead tree limbs should be secured before the
stronger winds and heavy rain arrive later today or tonight.

... Probability of tropical storm/hurricane conditions...
the chance for tropical storm conditions is about 30 percent... mainly
in wind gusts late tonight and Tuesday.

... Inland flooding...
storm total rainfall from today through Wednesday will generally
range from 2 to 4 inches... with locally higher amounts up to 5
inches possible. Some localized flooding is possible in low lying
and poor drainage areas... especially near creeks and streams.

... Winds...
the best chance for tropical storm force winds will be tonight
and Tuesday as Ida draws closer... mainly in gusts. A warning has
not been issued yet due to the uncertainty of how quickly Ida will
weaken and lose its tropical characteristics. It is still possible
that Ida will weaken enough to keep storm force winds limited to
the coast. If Ida maintains its intensity after making
landfall... wind gusts to 40 mph will be possible tonight and
Tuesday.

Forecast as of 2:34 PM EST on November 9, 2009

Now
Through 6 PM EDT (5 PM cdt)...widespread light to moderate rain associated with Tropical Storm Ida will continue to move northward at 15 mph across the Florida Panhandle...the western Florida Big Bend...southeast Alabama...extreme southwest Georgia...and the Panhandle coastal waters. Rainfall totals will average around a tenth of an inch...with up to a quarter inch across the Panhandle coastal counties.
