ATTENTION: Until Thursday AM, there is a FLASH FLOOD WATCH in effect for western counties in the Big Bend and South Georgia. Details below:
MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- The tropical low pressure area in the Central Gulf of Mexico will continue to churn to the west/northwest providing rainfall to Louisiana stretching as far east as Jacksonville. While the Big Bend and South Georgia will avoid direct impacts from the core of the system, heavy rains and coastal flooding will still be potential issues.
Tuesday: Rainfall is expected throughout the morning and afternoon (80% + coverage), with constant cloud cover. Expect lows in the lower to mid 70s and highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Flash Flood conditions are possible as imbedded rain bands in the overall system can dump heavy rain. From Tuesday AM through Thursday AM, two to four inches of rain is expected west of the Apalachicola River, while one to three inches of rain is anticipated east of the river.
Beach and Boating forecast information and your Tide Times are below:
Wednesday: Another cloudy and gloomy day is anticipated, with very little in terms of sunshine. Rain coverage is forecast to be around 70% or higher, with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the lower to mid 70s. Flash flood concerns are still possible with heavier rain segments.
Thursday: Numerous showers and storms appear possible, though the climb to near average temperatures will start. Expect lows in the lower to mid 70s, highs in the mid 80s, and rain coverage at around 60%. More sun is expected by then.
Friday through next Monday: Lows in the lower 70s and highs near 90° are expected. Isolated to scattered storms are possible each day (a return to a Summer-like forecast).
