...DEVELOPING WAKE LOW WILL BRING STRONG WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40
MPH THROUGH AROUND 330 AM CDT...

Observations across Mobile county show frequent wind gusts increasing
to 30 to 40 mph. Rapid clearing of precipitation on the backside
also indicates the wake low potential leading to gusty winds
across coastal Alabama and into the Northwestern Florida
Panhandle. The strong winds may persist through around 330 AM
CDT.


Given heavy rainfall today and moist soils, the strong winds
could down trees and power lines and will make driving difficult
and also dangerous for small craft vessels on area bays and
sounds.
