Alabama Power is urging customers to prepare for the possibility of severe tropical weather early next week as the company’s crews prepare to quickly and safely respond following the storm.

Forecasters are predicting the possibility of a tropical storm or hurricane making landfall next week somewhere in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Meteorologists at the Alabama Power-USA Coastal Weather Research Center at the University of South Alabama are providing frequent updates about the storm to Alabama Power and other businesses around the Southeast. Alabama Power spokesperson Dennis Washington said those updates are helping the company prepare its crews.

“We work daily to maintain reliable service, but in the event of storm damage the information provided by the Coastal Weather Research Center will help us respond just as quickly and as safely as possible,” Washington said.
