Pattern
What Escambia County gets alerted for
Every alert that named Escambia County in the last 12 months, by type. Records begin August 30, 2026, so this fills in over the year.
Plain English
What these alerts mean
A warning means the hazard is happening or about to; a watch means conditions favour it; an advisory is a lesser hazard still worth planning around.
Rip currents that can pull swimmers offshore are expected. Swim near a lifeguard and know how to escape a rip.
Sustained winds of 30 mph or more, or gusts to 45 mph, are expected. Use caution driving high-profile vehicles.
Large breaking waves are expected on beaches, with dangerous rip currents. Stay off jetties and out of the water.
Very large, destructive breaking waves are expected. Stay away from the surf zone entirely.
Tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are expected within 36 hours. Finish preparations.
Hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or more) are expected within 36 hours. Complete preparations and follow evacuation orders.
Life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the shoreline is expected. Evacuate if ordered.
Flash flooding is occurring or imminent. Move to higher ground; never drive into water covering a road.
Extreme sustained winds of a major hurricane (115 mph or more) are imminent or occurring within the next hour. Take shelter immediately in an interior room.
Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.
A heads-up about conditions that do not meet warning or advisory criteria but still deserve attention, such as a strong storm, patchy fog or a brief burst of snow.
Minor flooding of streets, streams or low-lying areas is expected. Expect ponding on roads and use caution when driving.
Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.
Hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. Prepare your home and review evacuation routes.
Flooding of rivers, streams or low-lying areas is occurring or expected. Avoid flooded roads and monitor river levels.
A storm with hail of 1 inch or larger, winds of 58 mph or more, or both, is occurring or imminent. Move indoors and away from windows.
Visibility of a quarter mile or less is expected. Slow down and use low beams.
Life-threatening storm surge is possible. Prepare to evacuate.

Questions
About Escambia County alerts
How do I get Escambia County weather alerts on my iPhone?
Install Forecast Bar, add Escambia County as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every NWS warning, watch and advisory for Escambia County then arrives as a push notification at the moment of issue, with Critical Alerts available for the most dangerous warnings. Forecast Bar also runs on iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV.
Where do these alerts come from?
From the National Weather Service alert feed (api.weather.gov). NWS issues alerts by county and by forecast zone; this page lists every product that names Escambia County. Forecast Bar checks the feed continuously and this page refreshes within a few minutes of a change.
What is the difference between a watch, a warning and an advisory?
A warning means the hazard is occurring, imminent or very likely: act now. A watch means conditions are favourable for it to develop: prepare and stay informed. An advisory covers a hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause real inconvenience or danger if you are not ready for it.
