Braden River Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Braden River.

Fire Weather Watch issued April 19 at 2:02AM EDT until April 20 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Tallahassee FL

...Critical Fire Weather through Monday... A cold frontal passage this morning will be followed this afternoon by northerly winds gusting around 20 to 25 mph, and RH will be dropping in the afternoon as a drier air mass arrives. Lingering cloud cover will be the main inhibitor to more widespread critical fire concerns today, but Red Flag Warnings are now in effect where the confidence in lowest humidity overlaps with strong post-frontal winds. With dry air continuing to filter in tonight, there will be poor nighttime humidity recovery. On Monday, the heart of the dry air mass will be in place, with minimum relative humidities commonly in the 15-20 percent range. Sustained northeast winds will be near 10 to 15 mph and support extremely high dispersions. Full sunshine, seasonably warm late April temperatures, and ongoing drought will all contribute to a critical fire environment. A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect for Monday where winds are currently forecast to touch 15 mph. The watch has been expanded west and southwestward this update to now include portions of the Florida Panhandle and extreme southeast Alabama. Additionally some portions of southwest Georgia were added to the fire weather watch. * AFFECTED AREA...Alabama fire weather zones 068 and 069.
