SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Moulton in the Gulf of Mexico is not expected to affect Alabama, Georgia, or Mississippi, but will likely impact parts of Florida. As of the 10 p.m. advisory, it has winds near 45 mph, moving slowly northeast. Forecasts indicate it may strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane by Monday morning and into a Category 2 or 3 by Tuesday evening upon landfall in Florida. A cold front moving southward will bring cooler, drier air to Alabama, leading to fall-like conditions with lows in the 50s. A higher risk of rip currents will persist along the Gulf coast into early next week.
