@NWSMobile says it’s a communication issue with the radars.
Hopefully these vital radars will be restored https://t.co/L2aaI14kaU

Flood Watch for Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties from 10AM Saturday through Sunday evening.
3-5+” of total rain expected over the next 48 hours. Flash flooding will be a concern where storms train over the same areas. https://t.co/Oy4GWRVbEr

Showers continue across parts of northwest Florida this evening. Don’t be shocked to hear some rain overnight at times. Some thunder possible near the coast at times as well. Not expecting tornado issues, thankfully. https://t.co/pSH1UETxSE
