EOC Past Activations
April 10, 2024
EOC activated at Level 2 (partial activation) beginning 12:00 p.m.
4:25 Update
Overview/What's New: The leading line of storms has exited our area with lingering showers and embedded thunderstorms. A cold front will move through this evening, and another line of storms will move through the area as this front swings through. Based on current observations, the trends, and the hi-resolution guidance, our main concerns heading into tonight are non-thunderstorm winds and the potential for additional flooding. Please see below for specifics on each hazard.
*Impact 1 - Redevelopment of Thunderstorms *
- WHAT: As mentioned above, additional thunderstorms are expected overnight as the line of thunderstorms moves through the area. We do not anticipate these storms becoming severe, though we cannot completely rule it out.
- WHEN: If thunderstorms do redevelop, these would move through fairly quickly between 10 PM and 2 AM, with thunderstorms exiting the area well before daybreak.
- CONFIDENCE: Confidence is low, though latest forecast thinking is that we will not be able to destabilize and any storms will remain elevated.
*Impact 2 - Flooding*
- WHAT: Lingering rain may exacerbate ongoing flooding in areas that receive the heaviest rainfall. The additional development this evening may produce another 1 to 3 inches of rain, though locally higher amounts are possible.
- WHEN: Continuing through the overnight hours
- WHERE: The best chance for flooding will in the southern half of the area and especially along our coastal counties.
- CONFIDENCE: Confidence on additional flooding is low.
*Impact 3 - Non-Thunderstorm Winds*
- Winds will remain breezy through the evening and overnight hours. We have removed the wind advisory for all but our coastal counties. However, there is a potential for non-thunderstorm winds to increase again this evening with the passage of the front. Gusts of 30 to 35 mph are possible.
The coastal and marine impacts have not changed from previous forecasts, and we still have a High Surf Warning, a High Risk for Rip Currents, a Coastal Flood Advisory, and a Gale Warning in effect.

Okaloosa Public Safety and NWS Weather Update ( 9 a.m. -Wednesday - April 10, 2024)
Today’s upcoming weather system will bring heavy rains to the area which could lead to flash flooding.
Okaloosa County is closely monitoring the evolving situation in close coordination with the National Weather Service, Florida Division of Emergency Management, strategic partners and neighboring counties. We are not activating risk shelters at this time as school is in session. Please have multiple ways to receive emergency information and monitor official new sources. The Okaloosa County Emergency Operations Center will be activated to Level 2 at noon, staffed with Command-level personnel and our Public Information Officer to assist in operating command and control elements as well as monitoring and disbursing information on the storm and any local impacts.
Severe weather is expected but there are two plausible scenarios:
• Scenario #1: A squall-line moves across the forecast area from west to east from mid-morning through late afternoon. In advance of the squall-line, a few discrete supercells will be possible across far southeast Mississippi and potentially as far east as coastal Alabama. Damaging winds up to 80 mph and tornadoes will be possible with any supercell and within the squall-line.
• Scenario #2: The squall-line poses a threat for damaging winds and tornadoes across southeast Mississippi but weakens as it moves into Alabama and transitions to a flood threat north of the I-10 corridor. Across coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, the severe weather threat would be this evening into the overnight hours with a tornado and damaging wind threat.

April 5-6, 2022
4.6.22 3pm:
The NWS is keeping us in the Slight Risk category for any storms which are able to fire this afternoon and evening. So far not much activity, but we will continue to monitor. There’s plenty of MLCAPE (instability in the atmosphere) but not a ton of deep level shear at the moment so the tornado risk is quite a bit lower than yesterday. This type of set up favors gusty winds and hail if the storms are able to sustain themselves. As the cold front approaches there is an opportunity for the deep level shear to increase, so we’ve got our eye on it. Overview/What's New: There remains the possibility of isolated severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening with large hail and damaging wind gusts the main threats.
- WHAT: Isolated severe storms capable of producing large hail and localized damaging wind gusts.
- WHEN: This afternoon and evening.
- WHERE: There is a Slight Risk across most of the region, with the exception of a Marginal Risk across parts of inland SE MS.
- CONFIDENCE: Low

4.5.22 8:30am SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE - There are no changes to the impacts for Today's event. There is a slight adjustment to delay the squall line timing by a couple of hours, and extend the timing through 6pm. We still expect two rounds of severe weather today and those details are broken down in the bulleted points below. A Tornado Watch is now in effect for the entire area until 2pm. Additional watches will be possible later today. A High Surf Advisory has been issued for this Afternoon and Evening for expected breaker heights of 5 to 6 feet. Minor coastal flooding is still a possibility in the northern portion of Mobile Bay in the mid to late afternoon hours (potentially impacting the Causeway near the eastbound I-10 onramp). A High Risk of Rip Currents persists through Thursday.
- WHAT: Two rounds of severe weather are expected with today's event. The first round of severe storms will be the ongoing supercells ahead of the squall line as a warm front continues to move northward. Damaging winds, fast-moving tornadoes (a few strong tornadoes possible), and large hail are all possible with these supercells. The second round of severe storms will be associated with the squall line. Damaging winds up to 70mph and fast-moving tornadoes are possible with the squall line. Flash flooding is possible (especially across urban areas, flood-prone areas, and our typical low-lying spots) as these storms will be capable of producing 1-3 inches of rain in a short period of time.
- WHEN: The ongoing supercell development across southeast Mississippi and parts of southwest /south-central Alabama will continue throughout the morning into the early afternoon hours ahead of the squall line. The supercell development is expected to expand further southeast to include the western Florida Panhandle by late this morning. Based on the latest guidance, the squall line should enter our southeast Mississippi counties around 9am and should be nearing the I-65 corridor by 1pm. The line will likely be exiting our northwest Florida counties around 6pm. Flooding remains a concern throughout the day, but especially as the squall line slides across the area. (Note: the timing listed on the severe map reflects the entire window of concern for both the supercells and squall line.)
- WHERE: All of southeast Mississippi, southwest Alabama, south-central Alabama, and northwest Florida.
- CONFIDENCE: Confidence remains high in both rounds of severe weather today.
3.30 - 3.31.22
3:05am Now that the storms are leaving the area, morning commutes approach in the next couple of hours and the tornado watch is canceled, we want to be sure to remind everyone to avoid driving over water flowing over the roadways. Use caution. There will be standing water over low-lying areas. Avoid downed power lines. Assume all lines are live. Call 911 if one is discovered. We hope everyone stayed safe overnight. We will share relevant updates on major damage and/or flooding reports. If you sustained storm damage, please report it here: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/8ce4fbeca4a34dc58a12d40bdd4866f1

12:19 am Severe Thunderstorm Warning
10:30pm We were live around 10:30 pm at the Okaloosa County Emergency Operations Command Center with Public Safety Director Patrick Maddox for a severe weather update.
10pm We've just finished a safety briefing and expect to start feeling the effects of the rough weather around 11pm. We are still some time away from the impact of the squall line and continue to experience gusty conditions with sustained winds around 20MPH. Many of the storms are moving at 50+ MPH, so keep weather-aware.
7:30pm Severe Weather Update. Our area is under a Tornado Watch until 4am. Here's a snap shot of the severe weather system setting up to our West. There have been numerous tornadoes and wind damage reports associated with the system. We are still hours away from the main impact and will continue to provide updates. Monitor warnings at https://bit.ly/3DotTT5WeatherWarnings Other advisories include:
- Rip Current Statement until April 2, 06:00 AM CDT
- Wind Advisory until March 31, 12:00 AM CDT
- High Surf Warning until March 31, 06:00 PM CDT
- Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from March 30, 03:00 PM CDT until March 31, 06:00 AM CDT
- Tornado Watch in effect from March 30, 06:35 PM CDT until March 31, 04:00 AM CDT
11:30am Okaloosa County Public Safety Director, Patrick Maddox has completed a call with National Weather Service and Florida Division of Emergency Management. Here's what we know about tonight's rough weather:
- No great changes to our expected impacts in Okaloosa. The timing has slowed just a little bit on arrival of the storm line (12AM instead of 11PM) but the exit time of 5AM still holds due to the fast-moving nature of this system.
- The weather expected to impact our area during this event will be dangerous, placing the entire forecast area in the “Moderate Risk” category. This will be a fast moving system with the capability of delivering gusts to 80MPH within stronger thunderstorms, and producing strong, fast-moving rain-wrapped tornadoes with little time to react. Some of these strong tornadoes could be long-track, remaining on the ground for extended periods. Ahead of the main storm line we are not expecting wide-spread supercell development, but strong southerly winds of 20-30MPH, gusts to 55MPH throughout this afternoon are likely.
- We are already seeing the winds increase and are flying double red flags oat the beach (Destin as well). Surf heights will quickly increase to the 9’-12’ range throughout the day today with associated dangerous rip currents and dangerous back-break. Some minor coastal flooding of 1-2 feet is possible.
- Rain totals in the 1-3” range are likely with some locally higher amounts in areas where storms travel repeatedly. Heavy downpours are possible, but the system will be moving so quickly that flash flood threats are limited. The current expectation is that the system will be clear of our area between around 5AM Thursday, but there is always room for adjustment there based upon exact storm evolution.
- The Emergency Operations Command Center will activate to Level 2 at 5PM this evening with Command Staff and limited Sections/Branches staffed. We will remain at the EOC through the overnight hours to coordinate county response to the threat.
- An Everbridge (Alert Okaloosa) notice was sent to Okaloosa County residents last evening at 5PM to give adequate time to prepare and react. Didn't get a message? Click here to sign up for Alert Okaloosa Emergency Messages: https://bit.ly/3ksJhmtAlertOkaloosa.
- We will continue to update as necessary, keep an eye on https://www.weather.gov/mob/ for the latest developments in this weather event.

Tropical Storm Fred
Click HERE to sign up for local alerts | DOWNLOAD the Hurricane Guide
August 16, 2021
4pm TROPICAL STORM FRED made landfall near Cape San Blas about an hour ago with max sustained winds of 65 MPH and is now moving North/Northeastward with winds of 60 MPH. The storm has come as far West as it was going to go and is peeling away from Okaloosa County.
Noon Live Update with Public Safety Director Patrick Maddox
11am Tropical Storm Fred (Monday midday update) from Okaloosa County Public Safety, National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center. Tropical Storm conditions are beginning now, surge warnings from Indian Pass to Yankee town 3-5 feet (East of our area), 1-3 feet for us (also diminishing since high tide has passed), 2-4” rain throughout the county which is a nice shift downward. Fred is expected to be a strong Tropical Storm at landfall. The threat of sustained tropical storm force winds is decreasing, but gusts to tropical storm force (mostly 25-35MPH) are certainly possible.
◾Rain: 3-4" of rain forecast ◾On the forecast track, the center of Fred should make landfall in the eastern Florida Panhandle this afternoon or early this evening, and move over western Georgia on Tuesday. ◾Wind gust of 25-35 possible beginning this afternoon through this early to mid this evening (mostly gusts) ◾Surf heights to build between 6-9 feet. ◾Bridges: FDOT and local law enforcement consider closing bridges only when sustained winds reach 40 mph
National Hurricane Center 10 a.m. Fred information:
- LOCATION ABOUT 55 MI SW OF APALACHICOLA FLORIDA
- MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS 60 MPH
- PRESENT MOVEMENT N OR 10 DEGREES AT 10 MPH
- MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE 993 MB
10:30 - TURN AROUND DON’T DROWN - While we may see some elevated sustained winds, our area of greatest concern is going to be ponding water and flash flooding as rain bands make their way onshore. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED OUT AREAS. STAY INDOORS DURING DOWNPOURS. County offices are closed. Courts are closed. Schools are closed.
9:30am - Double Red Flags on Okaloosa County Beaches. Stay Completely out of the water. Follow local alerts and advisories at AlertOkaloosa.com.
8:30am - TROPICAL STORM FRED UPDATE (Monday 8:30 a.m.) Tropical Storm Fred has intensified and is tracking further east of Okaloosa County. This is again beneficial for Okaloosa and nudges tropical storm force wind probabilities and rainfall down a bit.
Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that Fred is intensifying this morning, and now has maximum sustained winds near 60 mph with an estimated minimum central pressure of 993 mb, according to the National Hurricane Center. A Storm Surge Warning and Tropical Storm Warning is still in effect for the Panhandle to include all of Okaloosa County. 7:30 a.m. data from NHC: LOCATION ABOUT 80 MI SSW OF APALACHICOLA FLORIDA - MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS 60 MPH - PRESENT MOVEMENT N OR 10 DEGREES AT 10 MPH - MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE 993 MB
Remember to stay tuned to local media. We'll provide regular updates. The following are great sources for weather news: - weather.gov/mob - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ - https://alertokaloosa.com/
August 15, 2021
7:30pm Tropical Storm Fred update. Jogs to the east place landfall near the Walton County/Bay County line. This brings us out of the highest rainfall values and places us in the 3-6” range if this track holds. This is beneficial for us in many ways, but flash flooding/minor urban flooding can still occur based on rainfall rate alone.
Moderate flooding along the Blackwater and Shoal Rivers is still forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. We still expect to see some tropical storm force winds throughout the county, mainly along the coast, but gusts to that strength are certainly possible in the North end as well. Any attempt at more organization may allow Fred to wrap more moisture immediately around its core which could change those values some. Storm surge remans at 1-3 feet for our area. Our Local State of Emergency is executed, schools are closed tomorrow AM in an abundance of caution as roadway conditions and unknown bridge status depending on wind are concerns. Risk shelters and evacuations are not anticipated at this time, though a special shelter is on standby for any river evacuees if necessary. Only those designated as essential county employees are to report to work tomorrow. Contact your supervisor if you have questions on the designation of your position. EC Rider has suspended regular bus service tomorrow. Tropical Storm Grace is right behind Fred, but at least for the moment, seems to be staying South. We will monitor closely.Stay tuned for further and monitor hurricanes.gov.
◾A Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect for the coast of the Florida Panhandle from Navarre to the Wakulla/Jefferson County line which includes all of Okaloosa County.
◾ Get prepared for this storm with resources in this link: https://business.facebook.com/1545370005699157/posts/3116989405203868/
The track shifted farther east with landfall now projected in Okaloosa County on Monday evening. Although the chances for tropical storm force winds have risen into the 56%-61% range, the chances for experiencing the heaviest rainfall are decreasing some, with much of the county in the 4-6” range and the eastern third in the 6-8" range. These values can change with track adjustments. Earliest estimated arrival of tropical storm winds, if they were to occur, would be 6 a.m. Monday morning, but changes in the track can push that timing north or south as well. Only minor coastal flooding of 1-3 feet is forecast, but the potential for flash flooding exists with rapid rainfall. Fred is still forecast to a 50 mph tropical storm upon landfall.
◾A Storm Surge Warning has been issued for the coast of the Florida Panhandle. Surge of 1-3 feet is expected.
◾Sandbags available at the following locations while supplies last: -714 Essex Road in the Ocean City-Wright area at Stillwell Park -1759 South Ferdon Boulevard – access off of Goodwin Avenue across from the fuel tanks
◾Bridge closures can be expected when sustained winds exceed 39 mph and closures will be decided by FDOT and local law enforcement.
NHC 10 a.m. storm status update: - ABOUT 335 MI SSE OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA - MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDSn40 MPH - PRESENT MOVEMENT NNW AT 12 MPH - MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE 1008 MB. Remember to stay tuned to local media. We'll provide regular updates. The following are great sources for weather news:
