There are quite a few weather alerts that can be issued by the National Weather Service and its associated entities like the Storm Prediction Center and National Hurricane Center.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Some of these are mainly associated with hurricane season.
Storm surge alerts are strictly confined to the coastal communities as surge only affects those along the immediate coastline. Surge does not affect the WSFA 12 News viewing area, but it is one of -- if not the most -- dangerous aspect of a landfalling tropical system.Flooding watches and warnings, flash flood warnings and flash flood emergencies are some of the more common inland alerts we find in association with tropical systems.
Tornadoes associated with tropical systems are oftentimes fickle and difficult to predict ahead of time. They can spin up seemingly out of nowhere. On the other hand, they can dissipate in the blink of an eye. Many tropical tornadoes have a lifetime of less than a couple minutes. That’s why a tornado watch should be taken very seriously!As we are well aware along the Gulf Coast, hurricanes can go anywhere.
