I do not expect any of the next 7 days to be “all day washout” events. The thunderstorm icons you see in the 7 Day Forecast are representative of the chance of storms we have each afternoon and evening.

One lone storm exists at 5PM and it’s moving southeast across Pensacola Bay toward Tiger Point and Midway in Santa Rosa County.

Nothing severe but downpours possible soon just east of Gulf Breeze. https://t.co/60qXFQ0X5J

Flash Flood Emergency in progress in parts of southern Texas where multiple FEET of rainfall have fallen over the last few days. Dangerous flood setup in these zones that endured a horrendous, nearly identical situation just over a year ago. https://t.co/d7udhZSLli
