Excerpted from the
NHC 1 PM (EDT) advisory:
ALBERTO IS NOW MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST NEAR 10 MPH...16 KM/HR ...AND THIS GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS. THE CENTER COULD REACH THE COAST IN THE WARNING AREA EARLY TUESDAY...HOWEVER CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY DETERIORATING IN THE WARNING AREA.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 70 MPH...110 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ALBERTO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A HURRICANE BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 230 MILES...370 KM...TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE CENTER. THE LARGE EXTENT OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS MEANS THAT THESE WINDS WILL BE FELT ALONG THE COAST WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE CENTER.
The Pensacola area likely will escape all but windy weather and beach erosion from battering waves. The
Mobile NOAA weather station has issued this advisory:
STRONG EASTERLY WINDS ALONG WITH LARGE SWELLS EMANATING FROM TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO WILL CAUSE LARGE AND DANGEROUS BREAKING WAVES AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE COAST TODAY. DUE TO THE LARGE SWELLS... THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA COASTS.
