STORMS NEAR PENSACOLA… Most of us across south Alabama and northwest Florida are having beneficial rain and not much else as of 12:28PM. A few storms near Pensacola and Gulf Breeze are producing occasional cloud-to-ground lightning and loud claps of thunder. These storms are not severe. These storms will move toward Garcon Point, Tiger Point, and Midway shortly.

RAIN is the story on this Tuesday afternoon. Occasional lightning and thunder is happening but quite frankly, this is a nice, beneficial rain for nearly all of us across south Alabama and northwest Florida.

Rain will continue to be possible this afternoon into this evening. https://t.co/otEYxc54a5
