Tropical Storm Warning: Tracking Cristobal, Local Conditions
June 6, 2020
A tropical storm warning is in effect, including Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
It is important not to focus on the center of Tropical Storm Cristobal as impact will occur outside the cone, especially to the east (right).
Cristobal is still on track to make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast on Sunday evening. There is a high risk of rip currents at local beaches, with coastal flooding.
Heavy rain is likely and flooding is possible Sunday through Monday morning with several inches of rain possible. Rainfall totals will likely be higher south of I-10, but heavy rain is likely inland.
At this time, Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will be windy, but inland areas should not see sustained tropical storm force winds. This could change depending on the track and intensity of the storm at landfall. A few tornadoes are possible for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida Sunday afternoon through Sunday night.
Below is the official North Escambia area forecast. Rain chances and wind speeds will be slightly higher south of I-10.
Tonight: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Low around 71. East wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
