SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK
There is enhanced risk (level 3 of 5) for severe weather through early Sunday morning for the extreme northwestern park of Escambia County in Florida (specifically Bratt, Walnut Hill, Davisville and Nokomis) and eastern Escambia County in Alabama (including Flomaton, Atmore, Canoe, Robinsonville, Poarch and Nokomis) and a slight risk (levin 2 of 5) for the rest of Escambia County in Florida and Alabama. The environment supports a notable high impact severe weather threat with the potential of damaging straight line winds and perhaps, strong long track tornadoes focused more in the enhanced outlook areas.
