Hurricane Warning Issued; Michael Strengthening
October 8, 2018
THIS STORY IS OUTDATED. See NorthEscambia.com for the latest information.
Hurricane Michael is expected to intensify prior to landfall on Wednesday as a major category 3 hurricane.
A hurricane warning is now effect for Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
The latest specifics on Michael in the graphics on this page.
Michael is forecast to move north over next few days and increase in forward speed as it moves between a ridge over the western Atlantic and a trough over the west central U.S. Michael should turn northeast ahead of the approaching trough –the strength and timing of the approaching trough will be a key factor in the turn. Some uncertainty still exists in the degree and timing of this turn and while the forecast cone has shifted slightly east, it is important to remember that impacts can extend far outside the cone, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS said it is too early to pinpoint what area will see the most impact from the storm.

Well, here we go again,…..since Erin, Opal, Ivan, Dennis, and who knows what else…I get ready, buckle down, cover up, tie down, cover my windows….and the bottom line is my neighbors’ trees, that he discovered he was not responsible for falling on my property. I’m getting too old for this.
Ms. Lofton… It doesn’t look good for landing in Pensacola, but your flight might get rerouted to Mobile. Good luck to you.
My family and I are traveling from Seattle to Pensacola on October 10th leaving at 10pm, arriving at 8:24am. What is the probability of flight delays. We stop in Charlotte on 10/9/18 @ 5:24am.
