Subtropical storm Alberto is nearing the coast of the Florida Panhandle. The storm has sustained winds of 60mph and will steadily weaken as it moves inland. It will track north through Alabama Tuesday and move into the Tennessee Valley as a remnant low.

Convection has already moved inland so strengthening is not expected. Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect along the northern Gulf Coast. Heavy rainfall as Alberto moves north could cause flash flooding along its path.

Drier air has briefly moved in aloft over Tampa and will keep rain scattered in nature for the rest of our Memorial Day. Alberto continues to generate rough seas, a small craft advisory is in effect and boating is discouraged. Use caution on area beaches as the danger of rip currents remains high through Tuesday.
