Walton County is currently under a Flash Flood Watch from 9/28/2015 3:25 AM to 9/29/2015 7:00 AM CDT

Just a short update regarding the tropical low in the Gulf:

• The low pressure system over the south-central Gulf of Mexico, designated Invest Area 99L, is currently producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms that extends from western Cuba northward across the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
• The system is approximately 300 miles west of Key West and 400 miles south of Destin, Florida, and moving north-northeast near 11mph.
• The circulation associated with this system has become a little less defined since yesterday, and upper-level winds are not favorable for significant development.
• Due to the current disorganization of the system coupled with strong wind shear, the National Hurricane Center is giving Invest 99L a 30% (low) chance of formation over the next 2 days.
• The system is expected to move northward toward the northern Florida Gulf Coast over the next 24 to 36 hours, to the east of a broader non-tropical area of low pressure located over the western Gulf of Mexico near Texas.
• An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance aircraft is on stand-by to investigate the system this afternoon if necessary.

Florida Outlook:

• The impacts of Invest 99L to Florida will largely remain the same regardless of whether or not it becomes a tropical cyclone.
• Impacts for the Florida Gulf Coast and Florida Keys will be felt through Tuesday night.
• This system could produce heavy rainfall over portions of the state, where 1-3 inches of widespread rainfall is possible over the next 3 days. Isolated amounts of up to 5-8 inches are also possible, especially near the coast.
• Most of the flooding concerns will be flooding of urban and low-lying areas as heavy rain may fall within a short time span. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through Tuesday morning for the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, with a Flood Watch in effect for the coastal counties of West Central Florida.
• Waterspouts and isolated tornadoes are also possible hazards with this system. The Storm Prediction Center has placed coastal areas from Pensacola to St. Petersburg in a marginal risk for severe weather today. Waterspouts were observed in the Florida Keys yesterday.
• Invest 99L will cause an increase in deadly rip currents along the Panhandle Coast through Tuesday or Wednesday.
• Breaking waves of 3 to 5 feet are possible along the Panhandle coast, with wave heights of 1-3 feet possible along the remainder of the Florida Gulf Coast.
• Tides along the Panhandle coast will also average about a foot above normal.

That Darn Red Moon!!!
And now this
Last night a fire broke out during dinner service at Borago. All were evacuated and no one was injured. The building received extensive damage from flames, smoke, and flooding. We hope and pray our friends at both businesses recover quickly!

We just need some more development without adequate Storm Water Run Off and a few new County Employees that will conveniently fail to collect hundreds of thousands in fees and we'll be right back where we left off...
