Coden AL Weather Forecast Coden Current Weather

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI AND THE COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST
FLORIDA...

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TODAY AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
TONIGHT. RAIN WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. RAINFALL TOTALS
ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE BETWEEN ONE HALF AND ONE INCH...THEREFORE
THE THREAT FOR FLOODING IS LOW. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A
THUNDERSTORM ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST TONIGHT...BUT SEVERE WEATHER
IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

WINDS ACROSS THE MARINE AREA WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO
TONIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES. OFFSHORE WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND SMALL CRAFT ARE URGED TO EXERCISE
CAUTION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE MARINE AREA AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BECOME
NECESSARY.

COMPUTER MODEL GUIDANCE IS INCONSISTENT ON DEVELOPING A WEAK
SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GULF LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. IF THIS
LOW WERE TO MATERIALIZE...TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE COLD ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT A MIXTURE OF LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...
THERE IS ALSO THE DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OF THIS LOW NOT DEVELOPING...
WHICH WOULD RESULT IN JUST DRY AND VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. PLEASE
STAY TUNED TO FUTURE FORECASTS AS MORE DETAILS BECOME AVAILABLE.

MUCH COLDER AIR IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A HARD FREEZE MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS...ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM THE COAST.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND STORM SPOTTERS IS
NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH TONIGHT.
