A tropical disturbance currently in development is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the potential for flash flooding to the Southeastern region by Thursday, September 26. The National Weather Service has issued a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall in parts of Florida, Alabama, and Georgia as the tropical system continues to strengthen.
The NOAA Weather Prediction Center predicts that the region will experience heavy rainfall from Thursday to Friday.

Authorities are advising residents in high-risk zones to take precautions against flash flooding by ensuring drains are clear and outdoor items are secured.
Meteorologists are closely monitoring a disturbance known as Tropical Cyclone Nine, which has the potential to cause hazardous road conditions and rapid increases in water levels. It is important for individuals to stay informed by closely monitoring local weather alerts and advisories. Those residing in areas that are particularly susceptible to flooding should ensure they have evacuation plans in place.
