Tropical storm Gordon was making landfall just west of the Alabama-Mississippi border, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its latest advisory on Tuesday.
Gordon was located about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south-southwest of Mobile, Alabama and was packing maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour (110 km/h), the Miami-based weather forecaster said.
"Rapid weakening is forecast after Gordon moves inland, and is forecast to become a tropical depression on Wednesday," the NHC added.
