Ongoing heavy rain will continue to exacerbate flash flooding that is happening in parts of Escambia (AL) and Conecuh counties overnight. It cannot be stressed enough: Please do not be on the roads tonight unless you absolutely have to in these areas.
It should be noted that minor to moderate flooding is forecast, and as of now, flooding is not expected to reach the boardwalk buildings in Downtown Brewton, AL.
