Hazardous marine condition(s):
Gale Warning
GMZ600-311000-
307 PM CST Fri Jan 30 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong offshore flow is expected to develop tonight behind an
arctic cold front. Gale force winds are expected across all local
marine zones through Saturday night. Seas well offshore may build
to as high as as high as 10-12 feet well offshore. The strong
northerly flow will shift water in Mobile Bay out of the bay,
creating much lower than usual water levels in shipping channels.
Winds and seas will decrease on Sunday and into Monday. Light
onshore flow is expected by Tuesday.
