#Francine has strengthened to a #hurricane as of 7pm CDT. See the latest advisory at hurricanes.gov

Calm before the rain and wind 🌀

RAIN AMOUNTS: 2” to 4” inches expected as Francine moves across central AL. The good news is we need the rain due to the drought conditions and this will help limit the flood risk initially, but as more rain falls into Thursday morning there could be some ponding & trouble spots.
