THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...THE COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR IN THE
LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE COMBINED WITH ENHANCE LIFT IN THE
UPPER LEVELS SOME STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. MOST OF THE
STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A SQUALL LINE WHICH IS
FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
TONIGHT. AT THIS TIME A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.
DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.

OVER THE GULF COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AS THE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WINDS AND SEAS WILL THEN BUILD FROM
THE NORTH AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE MARINE AREA. AS A
RESULT HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT WILL BE LIKELY LATER
TODAY AND TONIGHT...CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

AT THIS TIME FORECAST MODELS DEPICT A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
AND TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION
OVER THE WEEKEND. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING
PATTERN LATER IN THE WEEK.

OVER THE MARINE AREA INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS CAN BE EXPECTED
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MAKING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS MAY BE NEEDED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT.
