TROPICAL DEPRESSION DANNY WAS LOCATED NEAR BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA.
THE SURFACE WINDS AROUND THE DEPRESSION WERE GENERALLY LESS THAN

HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES TO BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN WITH THE
REMNANTS OF DANNY.  FLASH FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT THIS
AFTERNOON FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALABAMA.  LATEST RADAR IMAGERY
INDICATES PERSISTENT RAINFALL IN CENTRAL ALABAMA NEAR THE CENTER OF
CIRCULATION.  STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALSO DEVELOPED EAST OF THE
DEPRESSION FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO CENTRAL AND WESTERN
GEORGIA.  OVERALL...RAINFALL AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPRESSION
TODAY HAVE BEEN LESS THAN IN RECENT DAYS.  HOWEVER...RAINFALL RATES
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR HAVE BEEN OBSERVED THIS MORNING IN
WASHINGTON COUNTY IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE DEPRESSION WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.  THE HEAVIEST
RAIN IS EXPECTED ALONG THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM FROM CENTRAL
ALABAMA TO NORTHERN GEORGIA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  RAIN FROM THE
DEPRESSION WILL REACH THE WESTERN CAROLINAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
