Forecasters expecting heavy rainfall near Alabama coast

Forecasters say heavy rainfall and some localized flooding are expected near the Alabama coast.

The National Weather Service says there is a high chance of rainfall starting Sunday afternoon and more through Tuesday. Officials say there is a high increase of rip currents near beaches.

Meteorologist Cody Lindsey says one of the coastal parts likely to be affected the most is Baldwin County. He says there is an 80 percent chance of rain with localized flooding of 2-4 inches near the coast.

Lindsey says forecasters are expecting the weather to dry out in the latter part of the week and shift east of the region. He says forecasting are continuing to monitor the weather, which he doesn't view as damaging.
