Gravity Wave Brings Strong Winds
Lots of reports of high winds across the state during the last two hours; seems like a gravity wave is responsible. Winds gusted to 30 mph at times in a number of locations across Central Alabama along the back edge of a band of light rain moving across the state.
The winds will subside over the next hour or so as the gravity wave moves over into Georgia.

Noticed it around 15:00 at work in Fultondale. Winds were kicking it for a long time. Kept wondering what was causing it with no other known reasons for the day around. Kind of neat now knowing it was caused by a gravity wave that started back in MS around noon time.
