Tropical Depression Ida heads toward Gulf of Mexico - al.com: "Tropical Depression Ida spun over Nicaragua and Honduras on Friday, then moved back out over Caribbean waters, where it could regain some of its strength as it moves toward the Gulf of Mexico, according to forecasters.

Strong winds and heavy surf are possible along the Alabama coast early next week as the storm approaches, forecasters said.

With Ida and a cold front closing in, the Mobile area can also expect good chances for showers and thunderstorms, with the best chances coming Monday into Tuesday, forecasts indicate."
