COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH… The cold front ushering in cooler, drier, slightly more stable air is rapidly approaching our area from the north as of 2PM. If you’re in Thomasville, Coffeeville, Beatrice, Greenville, Georgiana, Camden, or McKenzie, you will be first to notice the drop in humidity levels over the next few hours. Scattered thunderstorms are happening out ahead of the frontal boundary. Heavy rain will continue to be possible at times across parts of Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia (AL), Covington, and all 3 of our northwest Florida counties over the next several hours.

STORM IS WEAKER… The thunderstorm that prompted the severe thunderstorm warning for parts of southern Mobile County has weakened somewhat as it approaches the Fort Morgan Peninsula in southern Baldwin County. Waterspouts will continue to be possible in Mobile Bay because of this storm over the next few minutes. Heavy rain and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning will also continue to be concerns.

GUSTY WINDS LIKELY ON DIP RIGHT NOW… Gusty (35-45mph) winds are likely happening along Dauphin Island Parkway (DIP) in southern Mobile County near Goat Island, Sunny Cove, and Mon Louis, just to the east of Bellingrath Gardens right now. Definitely the right call on the part of the local National Weather Service to issue this severe thunderstorm warning for those areas as the storm may have briefly ramped up to severe levels with winds at or above 60mph. The core of this storm will move over Mobile Bay in the next 5-10 minutes where multiple waterspouts will be possible. A Special Marine Warning is in effect for Mobile Bay and areas near Dauphin Island. We’ll need to monitor this storm carefully as it approaches the Fort Morgan Peninsula of Baldwin County over the next 30 minutes.
