Special Weather Update
...Powerful Storm System Continues To Impact Mobile Area...
The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch through 9 a.m. Coastal Flood Warning until 7am Tuesday. A Flash Flood Watch Through Tuesday Afternoon...and a Wind Advisory through 1 am this morning for Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
At 2:15 am, weather radar indicated a complex of showers and thunderstorms moving eastward from southcentral Lousiana and Southern Mississippi. Additional showers are indicated ahead of the main complex across Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
Persistent moderate to heavy rainfall can be expected to begin in the Mobile area around the 4 a.m. hour with a stronger line of thunderstorms located near the rear of this complex, back closer to the main cold front, expected to move through between 6 and 9 a.m.
As this cluster moves through there is a possiblity for isolated tornadoes and damaging winds. There will also be a good possibility of street flooding, and possibily more significant flooding in the early morning hours across the Mobile metropolitan area, as 2-3 inches of rainfall may occur in areas which experience heavier thunderstorm activity. Morning commuters should prepare to deal with not only the possiblity of severe weather, but the strong possibility of travel difficulties due to excessive rainfall.
In coastal regions, strong southeast winds will continue to push astronomical high tides 2-4 feet above normal. Residents along coastal zones should prepare for abnormally high tides and areas of coastal flooding, possibly more pronounced than yesterdays episode.
Once this main thunderstorm complex clears in the mid morning hours, a few stray showers may persist before the main frontal system moves through around the noon hour. Winds should subside and shift to the west by midafternoon under clearing skies.
