  addition to lightning. Be ready to head indoors when storms

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(This Evening through next Monday)
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Showers and storms this afternoon and evening are expected to be
most robust in the FL and Southwest GA Counties with the potential
for isolated damaging wind gusts and hail. A weak frontal passage
tonight into Wednesday will lead to a slightly drier air mass with
a mostly dry day on tap before more seasonal shower and storm
chances return Thursday and Friday. The subtropical ridge is then
modeled to build over the weekend, which will tend to dry us out.
In addition to building heat, if daily shower/storm activity is
suppressed, that may lead to more heat-related issues.

A High Risk of Rip Currents will continue at Walton, Bay, and Gulf
County beaches into early tonight. Follow the advice of beach
safety officials and heed the beach flags. Swimming is highly
discouraged under red flags and Double red flags mean the water
is closed.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Westerly flow will increase today and become moderate in advance of
a cold front that will reach the waters tonight. Otherwise,
Southwest winds will maximize within the seabreeze zone each
afternoon and evening. With the exception of Wednesday, daily shower
and thunderstorm chances, with any storms leading to briefly higher
winds and seas.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2026

A hot air mass will remain in place over the next several days
albeit slightly drier on Wednesday behind a weak front with min
afternoon RH dipping well into the 40s across much of the region.
The sea breeze will tend to be pinned closer to the coast on
Wednesday before making more inland progress on Thursday and Friday.
After a drier day Wednesday, daily shower and thunderstorm chances
return Thursday and Friday, with the potential to create erratic and
gusty winds.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Counties.

A Flood Warning is in effect for the Choctawhatchee River near Bruce

Apalachicola at Blountstown, Aucilla, Spring Creek, Mossy Head, and
