ALL CLEAR; SEVERE WEATHER RISK ENDING… Good news! The Tornado Watch has been cancelled for all land areas as of 7:15PM. That means we can officially give an ALL CLEAR for southwest Alabama and northwest Florida.
TORNADO WATCH TO THE EAST... We note a new Tornado Watch is in effect for Walton County and points east in the Florida Panhandle valid until 1AM CDT on Friday. Severe weather is still a possibility this evening in areas in/near Panama City, Marianna, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, Blountstown, Bonifay, Freeport, and DeFuniak Springs.
NICE WEEKEND AHEAD… Rain is clearing out now to our east. There may be a few lingering showers overnight into Friday morning but vast majority of us will be dry after the rain shield clears out tonight. Sunny skies are expected Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the 80s each day.
My next forecast update will be posted by 7:05AM. See you then!
