Observations From Along the Coast

The Gulf Coast is feling the impact of Subtropical Storm Alberto with wind, rain and increased tides.

Winds are gusting to 35 mph this hour at Apalachicola.

The Tyndall AFB Tower C located south southeast of St. Georgie Island reported a gust to 55 mph at 6:57 a.m. The anemometer is located at 35 meters however, so winds are higher than at the surface.
