TORNADO WATCH TILL 1AM; STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MOVING IN… Strong to severe thunderstorms are about to cross into south Alabama from Mississippi. A Tornado Watch has been issued for Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia (AL), Washington, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties valid until 1AM. Gusty winds and a few tornadoes will be the main concerns over the next few hours. The good news is storms are moving just a bit faster than anticipated. This means there is a high probability storms will be east of our entire local area by 4-5AM.
TORNADO WARNING POLICY… Any time there is an active tornado warning in effect for southwest Alabama or northwest Florida, we provide uninterrupted, live video coverage on Facebook Live and in the RedZone Weather app. Our detailed coverage commitment is outlined at redzoneweather.com/coverage. We are proud to cover all parts of Escambia (AL), Covington, Monroe, Conecuh, Baldwin, Mobile, Clarke, Washington, Butler, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties. If you live in any locale in those counties, be sure to tune into our coverage whenever there is an active tornado warning!
SET UP APP ALERTS… We send quite a bit of Low-Level Alerts in our RedZone Weather app. The app is totally free for you! redzoneweather.com/app is the link where you see the download links to your respective app store for iOS and for Android devices. Once you have the app downloaded to your smartphone or tablet device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to customize the alerts you would like to receive straight from me.
