While one facet that will need to be monitored in the weakening, but still notable Ida is the threat of flooding, but the winds could also pose a threat across the area.
Most of the counties in the area are under a Wind Advisory or Lake Wind Advisory. This goes into effect at 8pm and lasts until 6pm tomorrow night. For places such as Montgomery, Troy, Clanton, Alexander City and the like, winds will be sustained in the 20 to 30 mile per hour range. There could also be some stronger gusts into the 40 mile per hour area, which could cause some minor damage and power outages. However, widespread severe winds are not expected.
The highest threat for Tropical Storm-level winds will be in the Southwestern counties, including such cities as Luverne, Selma, Mobile, and Andalusia, where a Tropical Storm Wind Warning is in effect.
