Sustained winds 115 mph
Located about 125 miles south/southeast of Mobile
Moving north at 17 mph
*Landfall comes around 7pm CT near Navarre Beach with winds around 100-105 mph
*Storm surge of 6-9 ft from the AL/FL Border to Grayton Beach
*Storm surge of 4-6 ft for the Alabama Gulf Coast including Dauphin Island
*Storm surge of 3-5 ft for Lower Mobile Bay

*Highest tornado risk over the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and the southeast tip of Alabama
*Rain amounts 4-6 inches near the coast, 2-3 inches for most of inland Alabama.
*Wind is the BIG issue. Winds at hurricane force on the coast. Due to the accelerating forward speed and expanding wind field, most all of inland Alabama could see gusts to 50/60 mph overnight tonight. This will likely create major power outages and considerable tree damage.
*Winds will diminish late tomorrow morning, and by tomorrow night the weather will be completely dry with lighter wind.
