Gulf Low To Bring Rain, Elevated Chance Of Minor Flooding
September 27, 2015
Rain chances increase by late Sunday, with rain expected to continue through at least the early part of the week as an area of low pressure forms and drifts north across the central Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center gives the area a low chance of development over the next 48 hours and a medium chance over the next five days.
Regardless of tropical development, forecasters expect local impacts to be primarily heavy rain, rough surf, and an increase in potentially life threatening rip currents. According to the National Weather Service Office in Mobile, up to 2-4 inches of rain can be expected across the southern half of the area with locally higher amounts possible.
