Our Forecast
Alberto continues to weaken as it moves to the north-northwest. As Alberto moves through Alabama and into Tennessee, it will continue to weaken. Alberto is forecast to become a remnant low later today.
Despite weakening to a remnant low, the threat of localized flash flooding will persist. The heaviest rains should fall from southeast of Montgomery through Birmingham during the next few hours. However, cities such as Atlanta and Nashville could see 2 to 4 inches of additional rainfall today.
Expected Impacts Onshore
Southeastern United States: Flash flooding could lead to travel delays, especially in southern Alabama near where the center of Alberto tracks.

The yellow cone represents track error from the previous five hurricane seasons. Over the past five hurricane seasons, the center of the storm tracked within the yellow cone 75% of the time. The cone does not represent the forecast uncertainty in the current advisory for this storm. In addition, hurricane-force winds, very high tides, large waves, and heavy rainfall can often extend well outside the yellow cone.
