Quick Notes at 4:15 pm

Lots of showers across Alabama.

At 4:15, a line of heavy showers was near the Tuscaloosa-Demopolis-Livingston line moving NW.

Changes in the latest Hurricane Advisory. The 4 pm advisory shifts the track eastward a bit and the forward speed of Arlene has increased. In a nutshell:

Landfall Orange Beach-Pensacola area Saturday. Arlene moving almost due north at 17 mph. She could possibly be hurricane strength at landfall.

After landfall, northward through West Alabama. (Earlier track had it through East Mississippi) Latest track is to near York, Livingston, Tuscaloosa, Russellville. Then to near Nashville by early Sunday afternoon.

This will shift the threat of heavy rain further eastward in Alabama.

Again, check the 3340 tropical page often for complete advisories, track forecasts, local statements, you name it.

So JB, does this mean that the threat of 4-6" rainfall is moving into the eastern counties now? Also, the wind field will shift with it right? 40-50 MPH in eastern AL also?
