Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 101 minutes after it went out.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 00:00Z, 2.7 hours before the alert went out and 71 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
drainage and low-lying areas.
* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
McHenry and Perry.
With the tremendous amount of rainfall received over the past 24 to
36 hours, this additional rainfall will quickly become runoff,
promoting additional flooding concerns.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 705 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026
The central Gulf coast remains in chaotic weather pattern with a
summer-time high CAPE (SB CAPES 3000-5000 J/KG)/Low Shear (<30
kts) environment and deep moisture with PWAT's 2.0-2.2"
contributing to scattered to numerous showers and a few
thunderstorms carrying over into the evening. At the same time,
the driving force for convective initiation is interaction of
numerous mesoscale boundaries. The strongest of storms have been
prolific lightning and locally heavy rainfall producers. A few
storms this evening could be strong to briefly severe. Although
the areal flash flood watch has expired, forecasters will handle
any problematic/slow moving heavy rain rate storms with targeted
short fused flood advisories and/or flash flood warnings as
needed. /10
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 110 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026
The area is still feeling residual impacts from the significant
rainfall yesterday. Currently there are scattered showers and
thunderstorms working their way through the area and this is
projected to continue through much of the day into the evening.
The heat has returned for today and it is very sticky out there with
dewpoints in the upper 70s and even low 80s in spots along the coast
with temperatures approaching 90. We have opted to issue a Heat
Advisory for our southern Mississippi counties, Mobile and southern
Baldwin counties in Alabama, and coastal areas of the western
Florida panhandle. This advisory lasts through this evening for heat
indices up to 108. We will monitor the heat risk for the beginning
of next week as values creep up again towards advisory criteria.
...THROUGH SATURDAY...
There is an east-west oriented front across central Alabama is the
focus for convection late this morning/early afternoon and it will
drop south through the day today and becomes very slow moving/stall
on Saturday before moving back north. This will bring additional
rainfall to some already hard hit areas from yesterday, so the risk
for flooding is still high today given the lingering impacts. Our
risk for excessive rainfall from WPC is a MODERATE for day 1 and the
day 2 risk is SLIGHT for essentially all of the CWA. A marginal risk
from the SPC for severe storms also exists on today for the entire
area. This is mainly for the afternoon and evening hours as the
boundary moves into the area with increased instability and a wind
risk could be realized if convection organizes along the boundary.
The environment looks to be pretty similar today and tomorrow. Our
significant deep layer moisture is beginning to wane. PWATs have
been very high this week in the 2.3-2.5 inch range and are now
beginning to drop. These will steadily drop to below 2 inches by
Saturday and to near normal by Monday. 48 hour LPMMs for interior
counties in south central Alabama show a widespread swath of 2-5
inches. FFG is very low given previous days of rainfall and
antecedent soil conditions being completely saturated. 1 hour FFG is
generally at or below 2 inches and 3 hour FFG is not much better
topping out at 2.5-3 inches in most locations. There are some areas
through our southeast Mississippi counties and into southern Alabama
where the FFG for 1 and 3 hours is only about 1 inch. The exception
is areas along the coast, generally south of I-10, where 1 hour FFG
is ~4 inches. We are still very saturated through ~850mb and warm
mid-level temperatures with a freezing level of 15,000+ feet will
still support efficient warm rain processes today with rainfall
rates up to 2.5-3 inches/hour. Rainfall totals today and tomorrow
are expected to be 1-3 inches with localized areas reaching up to 4-
5 inches where convection trains given the slow moving/stalled
boundary. Given the antecedent conditions and lower FFG, the
Flood Watch continues through early this evening. There may be
enough time to drain and dry out some depending on the convective
coverage of today before tomorrows rainfall.
We currently have multiple rivers in or projected to increase to
moderate flood stage with a majority of rivers in minor flood stage.
Some of our "flashier" locations like Bayou Sara at Saraland, the
Fish River, and Styx River already have or are currently peaking and
forecasted to drop below minor flood stage by tomorrow morning.
...SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK...
We look to stay under zonal flow aloft with high pressure building
into the Gulf through this weekend. The broad trough pattern in
place across the eastern half of the CONUS takes on more of a
meridional orientation before moving offshore this weekend. Slight
chance to chance pops follow for Sunday, then dry conditions are
anticipated on Monday then slight chance to chance pops return for
Tuesday. We will keep an eye on heat risk for the beginning of next
week, but as of now it looks to stay below criteria. By mid week,
troughing and associated shortwaves return to the eastern CONUS
which could bring some slight heat relief and chances for showers
and storms.
...BEACH FORECAST...
Hazardous beach conditions continue today with lingering impacts
from the departing system. All area beaches are flying double red
flags again today. The rip current risk is still a HIGH for all
Florida and Alabama beaches through Saturday afternoon, becoming
moderate through Monday. NWPS shows breakers of 5-6 feet through
early evening, especially for our Florida beaches. A High Surf
Advisory remains in effect through Friday evening for our Gulf
coastline.

Issued at 629 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026
Scattered to numerous shra/few tsra continues over the region this
evening. Cigs lower to MVFR categories and vsby briefly down LIFR
in the strongest convection. A diurnal decrease in activity is
anticipated as we go into the night with an uptick in coverages
again Saturday. Cigs/vsby lowering in and near tsra and brief
strong convective wind gusts. /10

Light to occasional moderate mainly southwesterly flow will occur

Tuesday. Seas around 6 feet this morning will slowly subside to 2
to 3 feet by the end of the week. /22
