Scott Martin: Tropical Storm Nate Makes Its Way Through Alabama Today
By Scott Martin
The center of Tropical Storm Nate is currently approaching Sweet Water in southern Marengo County, and Thomasville in northern Clarke County. Nate continues to move off to the northeast rapidly at 23 MPH. Maximum sustained winds are at 45 MPH. The quick weakening trend in wind speeds will continue, but the quick forward motion will keep tropical storm force winds likely, even as the center passes through the Birmingham Metropolitan Area. The rain bands could intensify with the daytime heating, so winds could be even stronger and a few tornadoes could form east north and east of the center.
