Strong Storms In North Escambia

May 29, 2010

At 203 PM CDT…National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a
strong thunderstorm near Barth…moving northeast at 15 mph.

This thunderstorm will affect areas in and around…
Chumuckla and McDavid through 230 PM CDT.

The primary threats from this storm are small hail…frequent
lightning…and wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph. Winds this strong could
down small tree limbs or branches and blow around unsecured small
objects. Seek shelter in a safe home or building until the storm has
passed.

This storm could produce rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches in a
short period of time…resulting in brief ponding of water around
low lying and poor drainage areas. Remember…do not drive your
vehicle into water covered roadways. The depth may be too great to
allow a safe crossing.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 700 PM CDT
Saturday evening for southwestern Alabama and northwest Florida.
