Radar showing large blocks of severe weather to the west. Be safe down there. Way to early for springtime severe weather outbreaks.
So far it's all been well north and west of the GS/OBch area.
We just had a quick round of tshowers in Mobile but even that has already moved away...
NWS Enhanced Radar Mosaic: Southern Mississippi Valley Sector Loop
The wind is much higher today (15-20 knots) and the waves have already built high enough to dingy the water.
Probably pooping the previous pomp parade of the preceding days...

I just drove back from Montgomery, at times there was less than 50' visibility and 50mph winds, it was scary at times.
Worst stuff here was past by time I got to Mobile but DI, Fort Morgan, GS & OB are still getting pounded.
The squall line temporarily stalled along the coast, 'training' a series of Severe Tstorm Warnings in that vicinity...
http://www.gulfshorespierfishing.com...tid=5755&stc=1
Ft Morgan had NW winds gusting to 39 knots when it came in.
winds have switched to WNW in Gulf Shores as the tstorms quickly exit eastward...
http://www.gulfshorespierfishing.com...tid=5756&stc=1
Winds sustained 25 knots gusting to 30+
8pm winds still SW 25-30 knots.
@ 4:36pm there was a peak wind gust @ Ft Morgan of 51.2 knots.
not a good day for snobblin!
Heads up!
Winds are forecast to start picking up Sunday afternoon.
Monday pm has potential of 'nasty'...

You all stay safe!
Mobile County schools are closed!
I came in early to beat the storm.
At 7:31am here at 5 Rivers and it is pitch black outside.
I'll check in after the squall line blows through if the building is still standing.
8:40 am Midtown/Downtown Mobile just had a bout of HEAVY rain mixed with pea-sized hail. Winds 'ordinary' so far.
maybe 2" of rain in an hour!
Round 2 is on the way by 9am...
I haven't seen hail out here (yet) but its raining very hard, lots of wind.
The Blakely River is 3-4' white-capping rollers.
9:30 update:
