The latest EURO 12Zrun is just frightening for Mobile,.AL and Pensacola. Possible storm surge up to 6 feet in Mobile Bay at time of landfall, which may not occur until during Wednesday with EURO showing a stall off the MS/AL Coast possible on tomorrow which is going to.cause torrential rainfall across the Northern Gulf Coast.


((IMO, everyone on the Gulf Coast from Pensacola to New Orleans should keep tuned in and be ready to prepare and evacuate if necessary.))
