...HURRICANE WARNING IS CANCELLED...

...NEW INFORMATION...

THE HURRICANE WARNING ALONG THE ALABAMA COAST HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING AS THE THREAT OF HURRICANE FORCE WINDS
SHIFTS INTO SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA.

BANDS OF HEAVIER SQUALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER RAIN BANDS OF
HURRICANE GUSTAV WILL BE MOVING ONSHORE ALONG THE ALABAMA GULF COAST
THIS MORNING. AS THE BANDS OF SQUALLS MOVE IN...GUSTY WINDS OF 35 TO
45 MPH WILL OVERSPREAD THE ALABAMA COAST WITH HIGHER GUSTS AT 50 TO
60 MPH POSSIBLE IN PERIODIC STRONGER SQUALLS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE
THREAT OF TORNADOES IN THE OUTER RAIN BANDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
MID MORNING HOURS.

TIDE LEVELS ARE ALSO CURRENTLY RUNNING NEAR 3 FEET. TIDE GAGES
INDICATE WATER LEVELS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RISE AROUND THE MOBILE BAY
AREA AND THE SOUTHERN SHORES OF MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES.

...AREAS AFFECTED...

MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...

TROPICAL STORM WARNING IN EFFECT.

TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH 7 AM CDT.

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT.  

...STORM INFORMATION...

AT 400 AM CDT...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE GUSTAV WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 28.4 NORTH...LONGITUDE 89.5 WEST OR ABOUT 115 MILES SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA.
 
GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 16 MPH...AND THIS MOTION
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO. ON THE FORECAST
TRACK...THE CENTER WILL CROSS THE SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA COAST BY
LATE MORNING. 
 
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 115 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. GUSTAV
IS A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS LIKELY BEFORE LANDFALL...WITH
WEAKENING EXPECTED TO BEGIN AFTER GUSTAV MOVES INLAND LATER TODAY.
 
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES FROM THE
CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 230
MILES.

AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT REPORTED A MINIMUM CENTRAL
PRESSURE OF 956 MB...28.23 INCHES.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

ACTION TO SECURE PROPERTY SHOULD BE COMPLETED AT THIS TIME AS 
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE BEING OBSERVED IN SOME AREAS OF
SOUTH MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES.
 
PEOPLE RESIDING IN FEMA TRAILERS NEED TO EVACUATE THEM AND SEEK
SAFER SHELTER. MOBILE COUNTY HAS ORDERED MANDATORY EVACUATIONS
GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF 1-10...INCLUDING AREAS SUCH AS FOWL
RIVER...CODEN...BAYOU LA BATRE AND DAUPHIN ISLAND. BALDWIN COUNTY
HAS ORDERED MANDATORY EVACUATIONS OF THE ENTIRE FORT MORGAN
PENINSULA...ALL AREAS SOUTH OF FORT MORGAN ROAD IN THE CITY OF
GULF SHORES...PLASH ISLAND AND OTHER LOW LYING...SURGE AND FLOOD
PRONE AREAS.

RELATIVES OR NEIGHBORS OF ELDERLY OR HANDICAPPED RESIDENTS IN
MANDATORY EVACUATION AREAS OR OTHER FLOOD PRONE LOCATIONS SHOULD
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MOVED TO A SAFE REFUGE. STAY TUNED TO LOCAL
RADIO AND TELEVISION FOR DETAILS FOR THE LATEST EVACUATION
INFORMATION.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

TIDE GAGES AROUND THE MOBILE BAY AREA AND THE SOUTHERN SHORES OF
MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES ARE REPORTING TIDE HEIGHTS AROUND 3 FT.
THE TIDE GAGES ARE INDICATING THE WATER LEVELS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
RISE THIS MORNING.

MAXIMUM TOTAL STORM TIDE COULD REACH 5 TO 7 FEET BY LATE MORNING
ALONG SOUTHERN MOBILE COUNTY...WITH 4 TO 6 FEET ACROSS THE WESTERN
SHORES OF MOBILE BAY. ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE OF MOBILE BAY AND
SOUTHERN BALDWIN COUNTY...TOTAL STORM TIDE IS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 4 TO 5 FEET. WE ARE ENTERING INTO A NEAP TIDE CYCLE AS
HURRICANE GUSTAV MAKES LANDFALL TO THE WEST...SO THE ASTRONOMICAL
HIGH TIDES WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE IN THE OVERALL STORM TIDE HEIGHT.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA BEACHES THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY DUE TO HIGH
WINDS AND EXTREMELY LARGE BREAKING WAVES. RIP CURRENTS ARE LIFE
THREATENING TO ANYONE ENTERING THE SURF...DO NOT ENTER THE WATER
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

MAJOR TO EXTENSIVE BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE TO THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE.
MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE EASTWARD TO DESTIN FLORIDA.

...WINDS...

SUSTAINED WINDS FROM 35 TO 45 MPH ARE BEING OBSERVED ALONG THE
ALABAMA COAST...WITH HIGHER GUSTS TO 55 MPH BEING OBSERVED IN
PERIODIC SQUALLS. FARTHER INLAND...WINDS ARE A LITTLE WEAKER...BUT
STILL GUSTING TO NEAR 40 MPH AT TIMES ACROSS NORTHERN MOBILE AND
BALDWIN COUNTIES. AS THE BANDS OF HEAVIER SQUALLS OFFSHORE MOVE IN
THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS...SUSTAINED STRONGER WINDS AT TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WILL AFFECT MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES...GUSTING TO NEAR
60 MPH AT TIMES. THE WINDS WILL BE HIGHER ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 10 THROUGH LATE MORNING.  

AS SQUALLS WITH HIGHER WINDS AT TROPICAL STORM FORCE MOVE THROUGH
THIS MORNING...MOBILE HOMES WILL SUSTAIN MINOR TO MODERATE DAMAGE.
POORLY CONSTRUCTED HOMES MAY RECEIVE SOME WALL DAMAGE AND PARTIAL
ROOF REMOVAL. A FEW HOUSES MAY HAVE MINOR DAMAGE TO ROOF SHINGLES AND
SIDING. A FEW POOL CAGES AND LANAI SCREENS WILL BE DAMAGED. UNSECURED
LIGHTWEIGHT ITEMS MAY BECOME PROJECTILES...CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE.
SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES WILL BE BLOWN DOWN...AND LOCAL POWER OUTAGES
ARE LIKELY. MOST NEWLY PLANTED TREES AND SHRUBS WILL BE DAMAGED OR
UPROOTED. SOME ROTTING SMALL TREES WILL BE UPROOTED...AND ROTTEN
LARGE BRANCHES WILL SNAP. NUMEROUS SMALL TWIGS WILL SEPARATE FROM
TREES. A FEW PALM FRONDS WILL BE BLOWN DOWN.

...INLAND FLOODING...

RAIN BANDS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF ON THE EAST SIDE OF GUSTAV WILL
BRING THE POTENTIAL OF 4 TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. AREAS OF HEAVIER RAIN COULD RESULT IN AN
INCREASED POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

...TORNADOES...

THE RISK OF TORNADOES IN OUTER RAIN BANDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
MID MORNING HOURS AS OUTER RAIN BANDS OFFSHORE APPROACH THE COAST. THE
RAIN BANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES ARE MORE LIKELY TO
CONTAIN TORNADOES.

...NEXT UPDATE...

THE NEXT HURRICANE LOCAL STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED FROM THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN MOBILE AROUND 7 AM CDT.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

AT 6 AM...TIDE GAGES AROUND THE MOBILE BAY AREA AND THE SOUTHERN 
SHORES OF MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES ARE REPORTING TIDE HEIGHTS
AROUND 4 FEET. THE TIDE GAGES ARE INDICATING THE WATER LEVELS
CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY RISE THIS MORNING. TIDE GAGE DATA ALONG THE
WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE INDICATED WATER LEVELS AROUND 3 FEET.

MAXIMUM TOTAL STORM TIDE COULD REACH 5 TO 7 FEET BY LATE MORNING
ALONG SOUTHERN MOBILE COUNTY...WITH 4 TO 6 FEET ACROSS THE
WESTERN SHORES OF MOBILE BAY. ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE OF MOBILE BAY
AND SOUTHERN BALDWIN COUNTY...TOTAL STORM TIDE IS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE 
4 TO 5 FEET...WITH MAXIMUM TOTAL TIDE HEIGHTS AROUND 4 FEET POSSIBLE
ALONG THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. WE ARE ENTERING INTO A NEAP TIDE
CYCLE AS HURRICANE GUSTAV MAKES LANDFALL TO THE WEST...SO THE
ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE IN THE OVERALL STORM TIDE
HEIGHT.

THE INCREASING TIDE LEVELS WILL CAUSE MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL
FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. COASTAL FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 90 CAUSEWAY BETWEEN MOBILE AND SPANISH FORT...ALONG HIGHWAY
193 IN SOUTH MOBILE COUNTY TO DAUPHIN ISLAND...ALONG THE WEST END OF
DAUPHIN ISLAND...A FEW LOW LYING AREAS ON THE EAST END OF DAUPHIN
ISLAND...AND THE FORT PICKENS AREA NEAR PENSACOLA. COASTAL FLOODING
CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED AROUND BAYOU LA BATRE AND CODEN IN SOUTH MOBILE
COUNTY.  

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA BEACHES THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY DUE TO HIGH WINDS
AND EXTREMELY LARGE BREAKING WAVES. RIP CURRENTS ARE LIFE THREATENING
TO ANYONE ENTERING THE SURF...DO NOT ENTER THE WATER UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES.

MAJOR TO EXTENSIVE BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE TO THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE.
MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE EASTWARD TO DESTIN FLORIDA.

...WINDS...

STRONG WINDS FROM 35 TO 45 MPH ARE BEING OBSERVED PERIODICALLY ALONG
THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA GULF COAST...WITH HIGHER GUSTS
FROM 50 TO 60 MPH LIKELY IN PERIODIC SQUALLS. FARTHER INLAND...WINDS
ARE A LITTLE WEAKER...BUT STILL GUSTING TO NEAR 45 MPH AT TIMES AS
THE BANDS OF HEAVIER SQUALLS MOVE THROUGH.

AS SQUALLS WITH HIGHER WINDS AT TROPICAL STORM FORCE MOVE THROUGH
THIS MORNING...SOME MOBILE HOMES WILL SUSTAIN MINOR TO MODERATE
DAMAGE. POORLY CONSTRUCTED HOMES MAY RECEIVE SOME WALL DAMAGE AND
PARTIAL ROOF REMOVAL. A FEW HOUSES MAY HAVE MINOR DAMAGE TO ROOF
SHINGLES AND SIDING. A FEW POOL CAGES AND LANAI SCREENS WILL BE
DAMAGED. UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT ITEMS MAY BECOME PROJECTILES...CAUSING
ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES WILL BE BLOWN DOWN...AND
LOCAL POWER OUTAGES ARE LIKELY. MOST NEWLY PLANTED TREES AND SHRUBS
WILL BE DAMAGED OR UPROOTED. SOME ROTTING SMALL TREES WILL BE
UPROOTED...AND ROTTEN LARGE BRANCHES WILL SNAP. NUMEROUS SMALL TWIGS
WILL SEPARATE FROM TREES. A FEW PALM FRONDS WILL BE BLOWN DOWN.

...INLAND FLOODING...

PERSISTENT RAIN BANDS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF ON THE EAST SIDE OF
GUSTAV WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL OF 5 TO 7 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. AREAS OF HEAVIER RAIN COULD RESULT
IN AN INCREASED POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

...TORNADOES...

THE RISK OF TORNADOES IN OUTER RAIN BANDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
LATE MORNING HOURS AS OUTER RAIN BANDS OFFSHORE MOVE ACROSS THE
COAST. THE RAIN BANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES ARE MORE
LIKELY TO CONTAIN TORNADOES.

FRANKLIN LOUISIANA. THIS POSITION IS ALSO ABOUT ABOUT 35 MILES 
SOUTHEAST OF LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA.
 
GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 16 MPH AND THIS GENERAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH A DECREASE IN THE FORWARD SPEED
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK...THE CENTER OF
GUSTAV WILL TRACK ALONG THE SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA COAST FOR THE
REST OF THE AFTERNOON...THEN MOVE INTO WESTERN LOUISIANA TONIGHT AND
EASTERN TEXAS ON TUESDAY.
 
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 90 MPH...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. GUSTAV IS NOW A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON
SCALE. ADDITIONAL WEAKENING IS FORECAST AS THE CENTER OF GUSTAV MOVES
INLAND OVER LOUISIANA.
 
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 50 MILES FROM THE
CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 200
MILES. NEW IBERIA RECENTLY REPORTED A WIND GUST OF 75 MPH. 
 
THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 962 MB...28.26 INCHES.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

TIDE LEVELS ARE RUNNING ABOUT 4 TO 6 FEET ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS ACROSS
THE MOBILE BAY REGION...AND AS OF 130 PM AREA TIDE GAGES AND
OFFICIAL REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE WATER HEIGHTS HAVE LEVELED OFF AND
ARE NO LONGER RISING. THE STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL LIKELY
KEEP WATER LEVELS ALONG THE COAST STEADY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...WITH ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

THESE INCREASED TIDE LEVELS WILL CAUSE MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING
ACROSS THE MOBILE BAY AREA. COASTAL FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG
THE HIGHWAY 90 CAUSEWAY BETWEEN MOBILE AND SPANISH FORT...ALONG
HIGHWAY 193 IN SOUTH MOBILE COUNTY TO DAUPHIN ISLAND...ALONG THE WEST
END OF DAUPHIN ISLAND...A FEW LOW LYING AREAS ON THE EAST END OF
DAUPHIN ISLAND. COASTAL FLOODING CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED AROUND BAYOU LA
BATRE AND CODEN ARES OF SOUTHERN MOBILE COUNTY...AS WELL AS AT ANY
OTHER LOCATIONS THAT USUALLY EXPERIENCE COASTAL FLOODING WITH TIDE
LEVELS OF 4 TO 6 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. 

MAJOR TO EXTENSIVE BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE TO THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE.
MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM THE
ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE EASTWARD TO DESTIN FLORIDA.

...WINDS...

STRONG WINDS FROM 35 TO 45 MPH ARE BEING OBSERVED PERIODICALLY
OVER MUCH OF MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES...WEST FLORIDA GULF
COAST...WITH HIGHER GUSTS FROM 50 TO 60 MPH LIKELY IN PERIODIC
SQUALLS...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. 

AS SQUALLS WITH HIGHER WINDS AT TROPICAL STORM FORCE MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA...SOME MOBILE HOMES WILL SUSTAIN MINOR TO MODERATE DAMAGE.
POORLY CONSTRUCTED HOMES MAY RECEIVE SOME WALL DAMAGE AND PARTIAL
ROOF REMOVAL. A FEW HOUSES MAY HAVE MINOR DAMAGE TO ROOF SHINGLES AND
SIDING. A FEW POOL CAGES AND LANAI SCREENS WILL BE DAMAGED. UNSECURED
LIGHTWEIGHT ITEMS MAY BECOME PROJECTILES... CAUSING ADDITIONAL
DAMAGE. SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES WILL BE BLOWN DOWN...AND LOCAL POWER
OUTAGES ARE LIKELY. MOST NEWLY PLANTED TREES AND SHRUBS WILL BE
DAMAGED OR UPROOTED. SOME ROTTING SMALL TREES WILL BE UPROOTED...AND
ROTTEN LARGE BRANCHES WILL SNAP. NUMEROUS SMALL TWIGS WILL SEPARATE
FROM TREES. A FEW PALM FRONDS WILL BE BLOWN DOWN.

...INLAND FLOODING...

PERSISTENT RAIN BANDS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF ON THE EAST SIDE OF
GUSTAV WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL OF 5 TO 7 INCHES OF RAINFALL...
WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. AREAS OF HEAVIER RAIN COULD
RESULT IN AN INCREASED POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING TODAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.

...TORNADOES...

THE RISK OF TORNADOES IN OUTER RAIN BANDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TODAY. THE RAIN BANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES ARE MORE
LIKELY TO CONTAIN TORNADOES.
