A line of storms will develop by late afternoon across central Alabama and move southward toward the coast. The stronger storms will be capable of damaging winds up to 60 mph. Frequent lightning & brief locally heavy downpours will also occur, but no flooding issues are expected.
Seeing some more support in the model data for possible tropical development in the eastern Gulf. Convection is blossoming this am. We expect NHC to bump of dev chances later. Entire Gulf coast should monitor future outlooks. Keep watching. #tropics#hurricanetrackerapp
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL - By the end of the weekend through early next week, our next weathermaker could lead to heavy rain and even flash flooding potential. At this point, Monday looks to be our rainiest day, but we'll fine tune the details as we get closer. @mynbc15@TrinityIvyWx
Showers and storms moving in from the west will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall this afternoon. With soils already saturated, this will likely result in quick developing flash flooding. Never drive through flooded roadways!
The 2026 Atlantic #Hurricane Season is officially underway. Here’s hoping for a quiet, uneventful season with minimal impacts across the #tropics. https://t.co/Zj1KCEQuz2
745am - Rain showers are already streaming inland along the coast this morning. Expect another round of scattered showers and storms to develop across the area this morning through much of the afternoon hours.
Two women were arrested following a dangerous incident early this morning on Highway 98 in Destin that began as a domestic disturbance and escalated into multiple criminal offenses.
Around midnight an OCSO deputy spotted a vehicle stopped in traffic near Airport Road and Highway 98 East while the two women were involved in a verbal altercation.
One of the women got out of the vehicle and began walking away onto the sidewalk.
The driver, identified as 54-year old Sonia Chaires of Houston, then made a U-turn, drove onto the sidewalk, and attempted to strike the other woman with the vehicle before taking off.
Deputies stopped her a short time later and began a roadside DUI investigation.
They observed signs of impairment and located open containers of alcohol inside the Jeep.
Chaires is now charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and DUI.
During the investigation, 48-year old Graciela Sanchez Granados repeatedly refused lawful commands to stay away from the vehicle during the inventory and tow process. At one point she grabbed a deputy by the should and tried to pull him away from the car.
Granados is charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer without violence.
Both were transported to the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview. #teamocso #DUI #aggravatedassault
