Subtropical Storm Alberto made landfall just east of Pensacola on Monday evening, powered by winds of up to 45 miles per hour while drenching the Florida Panhandle with rain.

According to the National Hurricane Center's 8 p.m. advisory, the storm was moving inland across the Florida Panhandle and Alabama,
threatening flash floods and up to eight inches of steady rain. Forecasters expected the storm to weaken as it moved farther inland.

Meanwhile, the flood watch for all of South Florida was canceled earlier Monday, the National Weather Service announced.
