...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

PRONE AREAS.
RELATIVES OR NEIGHBORS OF ELDERLY OR HANDICAPPED RESIDENTS IN

THE WESTERN SHORES OF MOBILE BAY. ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE OF MOBILE
BAY AND SOUTHERN BALDWIN COUNTY...TOTAL STORM TIDE IS ALSO EXPECTED
TO AVERAGE 2 TO 4 FEET. THESE VALUES REPRESENT THE WORST CASE
SCENARIO. WE ARE ENTERING INTO A NEAP TIDE CYCLE AS GUSTAV MAKES
LANDFALL...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

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.
...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 530 AM CDT.
