DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Subtropical Depression Alberto was located near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 86.8 West. The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). A faster northward to north-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Alberto will move over central and northern Alabama through this morning. The system is forecast to move over the Tennessee Valley later today and into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region on Wednesday and Thursday. Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast as Alberto moves farther inland, and the system is expected to degenerate into a remnant low by Tuesday evening. The Montgomery airport recently reported a wind gust of 43 mph (69 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Alberto is expected to produce 2 to 6 inches of rain from Alabama northward into the southern Great Lakes and from north Florida into the southern Appalachians through Thursday. Isolated maximum storm totals of 12 inches are possible over the Florida Panhandle and Alabama. These rains may produce flooding and flash flooding. WIND: A few gusts to tropical-storm force are possible across portions of central and northern Alabama this morning. TORNADOES: A tornado or two may occur today from southern Kentucky to parts of Georgia. SURF: Swells generated by Alberto will continue to affect the eastern and northern Gulf Coast today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. For more information, consult products from your local weather office.
