THIS STORY IS OUTDATED. SEE NORTHESCAMBIA.COM FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

Marco and Laura continue on their path toward the northern Gulf Coast.

Locally, North Escambia can expect a few inches of rain and breezy conditions through Monday due to Tropical Storm Marco’s pending landfall in Louisiana. The greatest potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding will be across coastal sections of Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with local isolated amounts up to 7 inches. A threat of tornadoes continues in Northwest Florida.

There is a high risk of rip currents continues through Friday. Surf heights ramp up to 5-7 feet today. Surf heights will go down slightly tonight, but we expect another bump in the surf on Tuesday evening (at least 6-8 feet) through Wednesday due to Tropical Storm Laura passing to our south, probably as a hurricane.

Laura will turn more to the northwest as it moves toward the northwest Gulf Coast by late Wednesday night or early Thursday. Laura is expected to intensify into a hurricane as it moves through the Gulf (potentially a strong hurricane). If Laura continues on the forecast track, impacts no local impacts are expected.The latest specific information on both storms is the graphics on this page.
