themselves right there across
the far panhandle, down to new
orleans, including lake
pontchartrain.
back to the east you see the
rain showers coming in and
around tampa.
the rain is wrapping all the way
into areas like alabama.
let me show what you it looks
like now in alabama.
here are the waves, still
offshore by about 80 miles.
moving up to the north 9 miles
an hour.
the center of circulation should
be sometime later this morning
into the early afternoon but no
big deal because the rain is
already there.
the wave action is there.
the heavy winds are there, too.
>> the rain is the big deal for
places that normally wouldn't
have to worry about the oncoming
hurricane.
>> northern alabama, georgia,
too.
this is atlanta radar.
put the wind up there, not that
big of a deal.
only 12 miles an hour.
you see the rain shield through
georgia and into alabama.
look how heavy that is.
that red shaded area, that's
like 2, 2 1/2 inches of rain per
hour.
flood watches are up.
we'll talk about those...
