Re: Alex Continues Toward The WNW

If the GFS is correct with the timing. The intensity won't make a whole lot of difference at this point.
3 days of steady rain will allow winds above 40 mph to lay down trees. Lots of trees.
Once the wind speeds increase ... many more trees will fall and creeks will rise.
Tropical Depression or not.

Not quite the Allison scenario but warming up toward it.

IF the GFS does verify.

Long ways off from the latest run. 36 hours before the forecast rainfall begins and 5 days before it hits the proverbial fan.
