Alberto Approaching Florida...
* Tropical Storm Alberto is bearing down on the West Coast of Florida as of this writing...* Alberto is a strong tropical storm, with maximum sustained winds at 70 mph. Movement is to the NE at 10 mph. This movement will take Alberto inland sometime during the early morning hours of tomorrow morning.
* Florida Impact: Storm surge flooding, gusty winds, and heavy rains will be possible along and to the east of the track of Alberto. The Big Bend area of Florida is a natural funnel, so the storm surge aspect will likely be enhanced a bit by the local geography.
* Impact here: Minimal. If anything, our weather will be a bit nicer tomorrow - slightly cooler and drier air will come in on the backside of Alberto's circulation. After yesterday's scorching temperatures (our official high was 100 degrees), most will enjoy the break from the heat.
* Some communities saw some fairly fierce thunderstorms yesterday. Sporadic wind damage was reported across parts of eastern Lauderdale County and Clarke County, Mississippi. While we don't like to hear of wind damage, the rain from these storms was very needed and very beneficial.
