* WHERE...Portions of south central and southwest Alabama, northwest

* WHEN...Until 7 PM CDT this evening.
* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will be capable of downing additional
compromised trees which would result in renewed power outages in
vulnerable areas impacted by the extreme winds during Hurricane
Isaias. In addition, large debris piles from storm cleanup may be
blown about resulting in additional hazards to anyone nearby
outdoors along with potentially blocking previously cleared
roadways.

homes, and roads in the impacted area. Frequent wind gusts between
35 and 40 mph will create dangerous conditions outdoors in the
vulnerable areas. Elsewhere, winds may result in large tree
branches downed and localized power outages.
Instruction:
Use extreme caution if you must travel or be outdoors. Remain alert
for potential falling trees and power lines, blown debris, and
additional damage to structures that remain compromised from the
hurricane.
