.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

PERIODS OF RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE RECENT DRY CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW THE
GROUND TO ABSORB A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. HOWEVER...BRIEF

TO HANDLE RESULTING IN FLOODING IN URBAN...RURAL AREAS AND NEARBY
SMALL STREAMS.

BRIEF THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
TODAY AS THE RAIN BANDS FROM ALBERTO MOVE THROUGH. COASTAL AREAS
COULD SEE SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS BY LATE THIS

NATURE COAST ALONG WITH PERIODS OF RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE HIGH TIDE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON
COMBINED WITH THE SURGE FROM ALBERTO COULD CAUSE COASTAL FLOODING

ABOVE THE NORMAL TIDE ALONG THE LEVY...CITRUS AND HERNANDO
COAST... AND POSSIBLY 3 TO 5 FEET IN THE UPPER PORTIONS OF TAMPA
