DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Subtropical Depression
Alberto was located near latitude 31.4 North, longitude 86.2 West.
The depression is moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h)  A
faster northward to north-northwestward motion is expected during
the next few days.  On the forecast track, the center of Alberto
will move over Alabama later tonight and early Tuesday.  The system
is forecast to move over the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday and into
the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region on Wednesday and Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Continued weakening is forecast as Alberto moves
farther inland, and the system is expected to degenerate into a
remnant low by Tuesday evening.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Alberto is expected to produce 2 to 6 inches of rain from
Alabama to the western Great Lakes and from northern Florida to the
mid Atlantic coast through Wednesday.  Isolated maximum totals of 12
inches are possible over the Florida Panhandle and Alabama.  These
rains may produce flooding and flash flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Alberto will continue to affect the
eastern and northern Gulf Coast through Tuesday.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
