MOSTLY CLOUDY TUESDAY… Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day on this Tuesday across south Alabama and Northwest Florida. High temperatures will peak in the low 70s.
Isolated showers may become possible this evening into tonight. Rain likely at times Wednesday.
SEVERE WEATHER RISK IS ENDING LOCALLY… Thunderstorms near Destin, Niceville, and Fort Walton Beach continue to shift eastward.
I am not expecting more tornado warnings for southwest Alabama or northwest Florida in areas west of Opp, Crestview, and Destin. A low-end risk of severe storms continues for Walton County and points east in the Florida Panhandle.
Thunder is possible at times over the next several hours, locally but the severe weather risk continues to decrease.
Have a great Monday morning!
Foggy morning in Atmore. βοΈ @NWSMobile @spann @AlabamaWXNet @rzweather @KNBHwx @ThomasGeboyWX @WKRGEd @AlanSealls @textamet @StormHour @ThePhotoHour #ALwx pic.twitter.com/i6yjBxNoKD
