Tropical Depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today...A Florida landfall is NOT likely. The main impacts across the northeast Gulf Coast will continue to revolve around bands of gusty showers. A few of the rain bands may pose a tornado threat in the coastal FL Big Bend, otherwise a brief tropical storm gust to 35 or 40 mph. Heavy rain from training of storms will also be a concern along with gradually building surf and rip current risks into the week.
- Tropical Storm Warning across offshore waters 20-60NM - Tropical Storm Watch from Ochlockonee River west to the Alabama border including nearshore waters 0-20NM - Small Craft Advisory across Apalachee Bay south to the mouth of the Suwanee 0-20NM
The outer rainbands of Tropical Depression Two will rotate on through. Widespread rain across the Panhandle and Big Bend will be around 1 to 3 inches but localized areas could see totals nearing 4 to 6 inches over the next two days. These could lead to localized flooding.
A few of the rain bands around Tropical Depression 2 may pose a tornado threat in the coastal FL Big Bend.
High surf along our beaches will develop through the next few days as Tropical Depression Two slowly strengthens. Surf heights of 4 to 9 feet are likely to develop across the Panhandle with lower amounts of 3 to 5 feet across the Forgotten Coast from Tuesday into Thursday. This will also lead to numerous dangerous and life threatening rip currents. Please look for and follow local beach flag recommendations. It's highly recommended to stay out of the water through this period.
Forecast high temperatures and probability of precipitation for today.
