AREA. FOR THE LATEST PLEASE SEE THE PRODUCT BHMFFAMOB.

THE TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR ALL COUNTIES IN SOUTHWEST
ALABAMA.

...STORM INFORMATION...
AT 10 PM CDT...THE POORLY DEFINED CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM DENNIS WAS
LOCATED NEAR 32.3 NORTH LATITUDE AND 87.8 WEST LONGITUDE...OR 25
MILES SOUTHEAST OF DEMOPOLIS ALABAMA.  MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS WERE
NEAR 65 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE WAS
ESTIMATED AT 980 MB...OR...28.94 INCHES.  DENNIS WAS MOVING NORTH-
NORTHWEST NEAR 16 MPH.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
NONE.

...STORM SURGE FLOOD AND STORM TIDE IMPACTS...
TIDES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL.

...WIND IMPACTS...
TROPICAL STORM DENNIS CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND WINDS ARE DECREASING.

...RIP CURRENTS AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS...
STAY OUT OF THE WATER. DO NOT GO BACK INTO THE WATER TONIGHT OR ON
MONDAY!  RESIDUAL DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL REMAIN.

RESIDUAL SPIRAL BANDS WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN ACROSS THE AREA IN THE
WAKE OF DENNIS. SOME OF THESE BANDS COULD PRODUCE BURSTS OF
HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES. AS DENNIS LIFTS OUT OF THE AREA AND
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN IS FORECAST TO END
LATE TONIGHT.

DUE TO RAINFALL RECEIVED FROM DENNIS...LATEST RAINFALL GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THAT RIVER FLOODING COULD POTENTIALLY BE WORSE THAN IVAN OF
2004...BUT NOT AS SEVERE AS HURRICANE GEORGES OF 1998.  AREA RIVERS
WILL GO INTO FLOOD SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
TO REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE THROUGHOUT THE UPCOMING MIDWEEK.  THE
RIVER FLOODING IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK OF DENNIS.  THE
AREA OF GREATEST INLAND FLOOD CONCERN INCLUDES THE CONECUH RIVER...
MURDER CREEK AND BIG ESCAMBIA CREEK IN SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE
SHOAL...YELLOW AND BLACKWATER RIVERS IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA.

...TORNADO THREAT...
NONE.

...NEXT UPDATE...
THIS IS THE LAST TROPICAL STORM LOCAL STATEMENT ON DENNIS.
