Update on Ida's Severe Weather Threat

August 29, 2021

Ida is well on its way to be a historic event and it is currently on the cusp of being category 5 strength. If you didn't know, today is the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina...

Regarding impacts to the FL Panhandle, severe weather in the form of tornadoes and damaging winds are possible through Tuesday night with slight (yellow) and marginal (dark green) areas identified for days 1 and 2. There is currently a tornado watch for coastal areas from the Okaloosa/Walton County line to the west. The threat extends well up into Alabama on day 1 and into Tennessee on days 2 and 3.

Heavy rainfall amounts are also possible (see bottom map).


Current Weather Watch




Day 1 Outlook




Day 2 Outlook




Day 3 Outlook




3 Day Rain Totals (locally higher amounts possible)



That's it for today unless the severe threat increases.
