A reinforcing stronger cold front will move through the area Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night.

Northerly winds increasing up to 20 to 25 knots behind the front will build seas and lead to hazardous boating conditions across the Atlantic waters from Tuesday night through Wednesday evening.

Alabama tornado kills at least 23

First responders in southeast Alabama hunted for survivors Monday after a devastating tornado killed at least 23 people, smashed homes and toppled power lines and a massive steel cell tower.

The tornado Sunday was part of a powerful severe storm system that also ripped through parts of Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. In Alabama, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said dozens were injured and the death toll could rise as recovery operations progress.

It was the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak in six years, since May 20, 2013, when a tornado killed 24 people in Oklahoma, the Storm Prediction Center said.

The tornado wrecked an area several miles long and a fourth-of-a-mile wide in the county about 60 miles east of Montgomery, Jones told WRBL-TV. Numerous injuries were reported with more than 40 patients at the East Alabama Medical Center by Sunday evening, the hospital said.

The National Weather Service said the twister was at least EF-3 in strength (with winds of 136-165 mph) and was a half-mile wide or more.

No tornadoes are expected Monday or through the rest of the week, the Storm Prediction Center said. AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said, however, that colder air will sweep into the Southeast behind the severe weather. Temperatures dropping into the 30s southward to central Georgia and across most of Alabama

Sunday marked the nation's deadliest day for tornadoes in over two years. The last day so many people died in the U.S. due to tornadoes was Jan. 22, 2017, when 16 people were killed in south Georgia. It was also the USA's deadliest March day for tornadoes since March 2, 2012, when 40 died.
