Hazardous Weather Outlook...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 450 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 ALZ051>060-261>266-FLZ201>206-MSZ067-075-076-078-079-232200- Choctaw-Washington-Clarke-Wilcox-Monroe-Conecuh-Butler-Crenshaw- Escambia-Covington-Mobile Inland-Baldwin Inland-Mobile Central- Baldwin Central-Mobile Coastal-Baldwin Coastal-Escambia Inland- Escambia Coastal-Santa Rosa Inland-Santa Rosa Coastal- Okaloosa Inland-Okaloosa Coastal-Wayne-Perry-Greene-Stone-George- 450 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central Alabama...southwest Alabama...northwest Florida and southeast Mississippi. .DAY ONE...Tonight There are indications that the flash flooding threat will gradually shift more west, becoming aligned from the Tennessee River Valley to off the Louisiana coast through the night. Within this axis, bands of showers and scattered storms look to lift northeast across the local area with the better coverages setting up along and west of Interstate 65. With soil moisture to capacity, any additional heavy rains will likely lead to runoff and additional flooding problems. Dangerous surf conditions will continue, with long period swell and breakers of 5 to 8 feet moving up into the surf zone. A high surf advisory and a high risk of dangerous to potentially deadly rip currents continue. Minor coastal flooding of the typically flood prone coastal roads along Alabama and northwest Florida panhandle beaches is likely to continue. Isolated storms will be capable of producing brief tornadoes. Strong southerly winds will remain along the immediate Alabama and western Florida panhandle coast. Sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with occasional higher gusts are expected. Thus, a Wind Advisory remains in effect through 6 PM. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Dangerous surf conditions will likely persist into Friday as long periods swells continue to come ashore. High risk of dangerous to potentially deadly rip currents looks to persist into the day Friday. Flash flood threat continues to remain higher generally along and west of a line from Butler to Chatom Alabama to Leakesville Mississippi on Friday. A frontal boundary sinking southward to the coast on Saturday brings more storms to the local area. More heavy rain is possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of SkyWarn Severe Storm Spotter networks is not expected through Wednesday. GMZ630>635-650-655-670-675-232200- Northern Mobile Bay-Southern Mobile Bay-Mississippi Sound- Perdido Bay-Pensacola Bay System-Choctawhatchee Bay- Coastal waters from Pensacola FL to Pascagoula MS out 20 NM- Coastal waters from Destin to Pensacola FL out 20 NM- Waters from Pensacola FL to Pascagoula MS from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Destin to Pensacola FL from 20 to 60 NM- 450 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the coastal waters of Alabama and northwest Florida. .DAY ONE...Tonight Hazardous conditions for smaller marine craft will continue with strong southerly winds and high seas continuing. Visibility could be reduced to less than a mile at times with the passage of any storms that contain heavy rain. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Although southerly winds decrease some on Friday, seas will be slow to subside and will maintain hazardous conditions for small marine craft. Winds, waves and seas will be locally higher with the passage of marine storms into the weekend. Visibility could be reduced to less than a mile at times with the passage of any storms that contain heavy rain.
