Hurricane Ian Continues Across Gulf; Here Are The Limited Local Impacts Expected
September 28, 2022
This is an archived story.
Hurricane Ian continued to move across the Gulf of Mexico as a major hurricane. Confidence is high that the actual hurricane will remain well to the east of our local area.
Locally, a prolonged period of gusty winds is expected today and Thursday due to the gradient between Hurricane Ian entering the Gulf of Mexico and high-pressure building into the region behind a cold front.
A red flag warning is in effect Wednesday due to the wildfire risk. A combination of strong northerly winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels will contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
At the beach, swells associated with Ian will lead to dangerous rip currents and surf this week.

Red Flag Warning: Forest Service Says No Outdoor Burning
September 27, 2022
The Florida Forest Service’s Blackwater Forestry Center is issuing words of warning for anyone considering any outdoor burning activities in the coming days: Use extreme caution or simply don’t do it.
It has been more than two weeks since most of the three-county area (Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties) has seen rainfall and wildfire danger is on the rise. Add to that a forecast calling for increased winds and low humidity for the next few days and firefighters are bracing for the possibility of significant fire activity.
“With the conditions – dry and windy – any new fire has the potential to become a problem,” said David Smith, operations administrator for Blackwater. “The southernmost end of our area received some rainfall Monday evening, but we are very dry with no rain in the extended forecast.”
Current forecasts call for low humidity (below 35% during the day) for the next several days and north winds up to 20 mph. No burn authorizations will be issued for prescribed burns or pile burns until conditions improve and residents are asked to refrain from any outdoor fire activity for the time being.
Residents should always be prepared for the possibility of a wildfire as Florida experiences a year-round fire season that typically peaks from April to June in our area. The Florida Forest Service offers tips and advice on how to prepare yourself and your home in case you are impacted by a wildfire online at www.BeWildfireReadyFL.com.
Hurricane Ian Moves North With Increasing Winds
September 27, 2022
This is an archived, out of date story. For the latest information, see NorthEscambia.com.
Hurricane Ian made landfall in Cuba early Tuesday morning as a Category 3 storm with winds of 125 mph. It will continue to strengthen as it moves toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Confidence continues to grow that Ian will move east of our area in the direction of the Florida west coast. High surf and maybe some gusty winds will still be possible at the local beaches.

Ian Strengthens, Track Shifts Further East
September 26, 2022
This is an outdated story. See NorthEscambia.com for the latest information.
The forecast for Ian shifted back east on Sunday. The storm is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico in the coming days.
“Confidence is very slowly increasing in a track east of our area; however, we still need to monitor this closely as changes can still occur,” National Weather Service forecasters in Mobile said Sunday night.
But NWS Mobile said very small changes now can lead to bigger changes in the forecast.
High surf is still likely and dangerous rip currents will be a hazard through the weekend along Escambia County’s beaches.
