A coastal Flood Warning remains in effect until 9 am CST
Wednesday.

Southeast winds will increase to 20 to 30 mph... with occasional
gusts possibly around 40 mph overnight tonight... becoming south
then southwesterly by Wednesday morning. Astronomical high tides
between 1 and 2 feet occurred across the region earlier this
evening... and as the winds become more onshore overnight... these
water levels will subside slower than normally. Considering this...
total tide heights could range from 3 to 4 feet with a few areas
possibly experiencing near 5 feet west of Pensacola. Total tide
heights further to the east... generally from Navarre Beach to
Destin... could range from 2 to 3 feet.

These tides will likely cause inundation over the west end of
Dauphin Island... around the western and northern shores of Mobile
Bay that are prone to coastal flooding... and along the immediate
coast from Fort Morgan Alabama to Fort Pickens Florida Tuesday
night and Wednesday. In addition to the high water levels... a
large pounding surf with breaking waves of 10 to 12 feet will be
likely from Destin Florida to ft Morgan Alabama.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water... and take appropriate action to protect life
and property.

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Wednesday
morning...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Alabama... northwest Florida and southeast
Mississippi... including the following areas... in Alabama...
Butler... Clarke... Conecuh... Covington... Crenshaw... Escambia...
lower Baldwin... lower Mobile... Monroe... upper Baldwin... upper
Mobile... Washington and Wilcox. In northwest Florida... coastal
Escambia... coastal Okaloosa... coastal Santa Rosa... inland
Escambia... inland Okaloosa and inland Santa Rosa. In southeast
Mississippi... George... Greene... Perry and stone.

* Through Wednesday morning

* a low pressure system will move onshore over the north central Gulf
Coast overnight... along with a northward moving warm front... resulting
in periods of heavy rain later night into Wednesday morning.
Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are expected in most areas with
isolated total up to 5 inches possible west of the Interstate 65
corridor across southwest Alabama and inland southeast Mississippi.

* Low places in area roads will most certainly have standing
water if not flowing water overnight. The places that normally
suffer from poor drainage will likely have drainage problems
as well.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until noon CST Wednesday...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect until noon CST Wednesday.

A strengthening low pressure system over the western Gulf will
move northeast toward the north central Gulf Coast tonight. As
the low approaches... winds will increase again across the region...
especially along and to the east of the low track. Sustained
winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph later tonight with frequent gusts
to near 40 mph along the coast and near 30 mph inland. Winds will
gradually subside by late Wednesday morning as the low moves
quickly northeast... but breezy conditions will persist through
Wednesday afternoon.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds or frequent gusts of
25 to 39 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution.

In addition... it is also a good idea to secure any loose outdoor
objects such a trash cans... patio furniture... and Holiday
decorations.
