Spanish Fort, Alabama
City in Baldwin County, Alabama* WHAT...North winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph expected. * WHERE...Portions of south central and southwest Alabama, northwest Florida, and southeast Mississippi. * WHEN...From 10 PM Friday to 7 PM CDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Strong and gusty winds will be capable of downing numerous additional compromised trees which would result in renewed power outages in vulnerable areas impacted by the extreme winds during Hurricane Isaias. In addition, large debris piles from storm cleanup may be blown about resulting in additional hazards to anyone nearby outdoors along with potentially blocking previously cleared roadways. Additional road closures will be possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Many trees are leaning over power lines, homes, and roads in the impacted area. Frequent wind gusts forecast between 35 and 40 mph will create dangerous conditions outdoors in the vulnerable areas. Elsewhere, winds may result in large tree branches downed and localized power outages.
Use extreme caution if you must travel or be outdoors Friday night through Saturday. Remain alert for potential falling trees and power lines, blown debris, and additional damage to structures that remain compromised from the hurricane.
