Flash flooding a concern following Tropical Storm Claudette

Forecasters warn life-threatening flash flooding could occur central Alabama, as well as parts of the Deep South, as Tropical Depression Claudette travels over the southeast. Heavy rain led to high water late Saturday into early today in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. The rapidly changing conditions came as Claudette was beginning to batter parts of Georgia and the Carolinas early today. The system's rainfall was accompanied with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph. The National Hurricane Center says the depression is expected to cross into the Atlantic Ocean on Monday, and eventually regain tropical storm strength.
