8:35 Arlene Update

At 7 PM CDT, the center of Arlene was 15 miles east of Jackson, Alabama. That is a little community in Clarke County.

It had been downgraded to a tropical depression, with maximum sustained winds at 35 mph.

Heavy rain continues to be the biggest threat. Some areas in West Alabama and parts of Kemper, Lauderdale, Clarke, and Jasper counties in MS have had almost 4 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. The ground is already saturated, so there may be flooding concerns in the Upper Pearl, Tombigbee, and Black Warrior River Basins.

We might see some more heavy rain and gusty winds as the center of the storm moves between Meridian and Tuscaloosa overnight. I'll be here keeping and eye on things..
