craig setzer with our miami affiliate wfor is following the storm. craig? >> reporter: the storm is getting a bit stronger tonight as it moves to the north, and during the day on sunday it has the possibility of even further intensification reaching the north gulf coast here some time late on monday or monday night, but it's a big, lop-sided storm with a lot of the bad weather east of the track and north of the track. so the effects will be felt well before the center makes landfall. wind is going to be a problem. tropical storm-force winds will be skirting the west coast of florida all the way up into the panhandle and much of the northern gulf coast. some of that wind will be going inland. and the other big issue with this storm besides storm surge and the wind, it's going to be rainfall, a tremendous amount of tropical moisture heading to the north. one of these tails, this moisture tail for alberto, will be draped across florida pointing toward the carolinas where flooding is a possibility, and flooding also a possibility right where the center makes la

craig setzer from wfor in miami is following this storm tonight. craig?reporter: yeah, we're a little ahead of schedule. hurricane season starts june 1. it's not uncommon to every now and then have a tropical system. this one is a bit lopsided, though. and the forecast is for it to move up the eastern gulf of mexico, basically skirting the peninsula of florida and then making landfall there in the northern gulf some time either sunday night, monday or maybe even monday night, if it slows down. two factors with this. the wind event with this storm will be in the north central gulf coast where the tropical storm and storm surge watches are in effect. most of the heavier winds away from florida except for the thunderstorm winds. and this will really be a big rainfall event, especially for florida. some computer models are saying four to six inches of rain possible. also, noaa forecasters are saying parts of the gulf coast could see up to eight inches of flooding. and, of course, jeff, there's always the threat of isolated tornadoes. >> glor: all right, craig
