ALL CLEAR FOR ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FL… If you are in any part of Escambia County, Florida, you get a severe weather ALL CLEAR. The tornado risk has completely ended for all parts of Escambia County in Florida.
There is now zero risk of severe weather for Escambia (FL), Escambia (AL), Mobile, Baldwin, Washington, Clarke, Monroe, Conecuh, and Butler counties. The main batch of storms is now rolling through Covington, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties. I expect to be able to give these remaining counties an all clear by 4AM at the absolute latest. The Tornado Watch now in progress for Okaloosa County will be cancelled long before 8AM as cold, stable air will begin moving in right behind this batch of storms.
A Tornado Watch is in effect until 8AM for @OkaloosaCounty and points east to Tallahassee.
This includes Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Niceville, Seaside, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City, Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, Geneva, Dothan, Marianna, and surrounding areas. pic.twitter.com/4QSQqoucUF
