Flash Flooding and Gulf Disturbance Threaten Emerald Coast

An NWS flash-flood warning has affected parts of Okaloosa County, while forecasts still call for roughly 3-6 inches of rain and locally higher totals across the Emerald Coast. A southern-Gulf disturbance has a 30% development chance but faces hostile upper-level winds; flooding, severe storms, hazardous travel, lightning, and dangerous beach conditions remain the immediate concerns.
