ORIGINAL STORY-
Flooding and power outages are the main concern for Montgomery residents after last night's rain and severe weather.
The River Region and Central Alabama remain under a Flash Flood Watch in effect through Wednesday morning as some are still without power.
The National Weather Service is predicting an additional 1-3 inches of rain Tuesday and overnight which they say may aggravate rivers and streams already above normal levels.
Alabama Power crews continue to work to restore power to 800 Montgomery customers, 40 in Prattville and 70 in other parts of central Alabama.
Mike Jordan with Alabama Power confirmed crews working on areas of Virginia Loop Road and Lower Wetumpka Road to remove trees that had fallen across power lines there.
