  THE CENTER OF FAY SHOULD TRACK NORTHEASTWARD OVER NORTHERN
  ALABAMA AND THROUGH THE MIDSTATE ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
  RAINFALL AHEAD OF THE STORM SHOULD RANGE FROM 2 TO 5 INCHES
  TOTAL BY 7 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL TOTALS
  WILL OCCUR OVER THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
  BEGIN TO TAPER OFF LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.

* WITH RAINFALL TOTALS AS HIGH AS 5 INCHES... WE EXPECT SOME
  STREAMS AND CREEKS TO RISE TO NEAR OR ABOVE BANKFULL ON
  TUESDAY. LOW AREAS AND URBAN AREAS WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO
  FLOOD. MOST FLASH FLOODING WILL BE CAUSED BY THUNDERSTORMS
  THAT CONCENTRATE RAINFALL IN RELATIVELY SMALL AREAS...
  ESPECIALLY IN STEEP TERRAIN AND URBAN AREAS.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
THOSE ALONG STREAM AND CREEKS SHOULD MONITOR FOR RAPID RISES AND
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. YOU SHOULD ALSO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS
AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE
ISSUED.
