TWC showing gusts very close to 40mph in P'cola,with sustained winds of 30mph,and heavy rain..Looking at the radar the rain is moving out of the area and should start to clear late this afternoon.

You think a 50mph gust is very strong?About three weeks ago you guys were getting gusts to 150mph! :lol:

Station DPIA1 (east end of Dauphin Island, AL) had a peak wind gust of 36 kts (41+ mph) during the 4 o'clock hour this afternoon. And it's still gusting into the low to mid 30 knot ranges this evening.

The West End of Dauphin Island has experienced "overwash" flooding for the third morning in a row. Here's a pic of Sunday am from the end of Bienville Blvd looking back eastward

Farther west, the tidegage at Waveland , MS showed a maximum tidal height Sunday morning at least 3' above the predicted level. Note it is nearing a "NEAP" tide phase. IF this storm (as weak as it is) had come ashore during a higher tide, flooding would have been even more of an issue in the region.

Sunday morning the wife and I drove over to Gulfport just to get out and grab a bite of breakfast. I'd estimate it was pretty steady 25 mph with gusts ~ 35+.
