Discussion              

The Tennessee Valley region of northern Alabama is in store for a lot of rainfall over the next 24 hours or so as a slow-moving cold front will be the focus area of showers and thunderstorms.  Some of the rain that falls during this time will be on the heavy side and any thunderstorm can reach severe levels.  Rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches are on the table by later tomorrow and this can result in some flash flooding across the region.
