Surface Flow Characteristics


Alabama is home to several major surface flows, including the Tennessee River, the Black Warrior River, and the Alabama River. There are numerous reservoirs and dams throughout the state, including the Lewis Smith Lake Dam and the Martin Dam. The climate in Alabama is generally warm and humid, with frequent rainfall throughout the year. The state's hydrology is influenced by several factors, including the Appalachian Mountains to the north and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Major tributaries to Alabama's rivers include the Cahaba River, the Coosa River, and the Tombigbee River. Snowpack is generally not a significant factor in Alabama's hydrology, although there have been occasional snowstorms in the northern part of the state.

Statewide Warnings & Alerts

Residents of Alabama, particularly those in Washington, Clarke, and Choctaw Counties, need to be on high alert as flood warnings have been issued by the NWS Mobile AL. For those living near the Tombigbee River, including areas around the Coffeeville Dam and Leroy, you should anticipate minor flooding. Forecasts predict that the river will rise above flood stage by late tomorrow morning, peaking at about 30.3 feet on Saturday morning before receding below flood stage by the following Monday afternoon. Pasturelands are expected to become flooded, and livestock should be moved to higher ground to avoid being affected by the rising waters. Old Ferry Road near the river is also likely to experience flooding.

It's crucial for community members to stay informed and prepared. For those near Leroy, be aware that the Tombigbee River is forecast to rise above the flood stage, leading to potential flooding of low-lying farms and pasturelands. It's advisable to move cattle and other animals to higher ground to prevent any loss. Given the current stage of the river and the expected crest of 25.3 feet by early Saturday morning, local residents should also be mindful of the potential for certain roads in low-lying areas to become inaccessible due to high water. It's important to follow updates and heed the advice of local authorities, ensuring your safety and that of your property. Stay tuned to local news and the NWS for the latest information and be prepared to take action if necessary. Remember to check on neighbors, particularly those who may need extra assistance during this time. Safety is paramount, and a little caution now can prevent a lot of troubles later.
