DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Subtropical Storm Alberto

storm is moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h).  A faster

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 40 mph (65 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Continued weakening is forecast as Alberto moves
farther inland, and Alberto is expected to become a subtropical
depression later tonight, and degenerate into a remnant low by
Tuesday afternoon.

Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from the
center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.38 inches).

TORNADOES:  Isolated tornadoes are possible through tonight over
