Dangerous Flooding Threat for Northwest Florida and Southwest Alabama Today

Pensacola, FL (NewsRadio 92.3) -- The National Weather Service in Mobile is warning of a dangerous flash flooding risk for our area today through Friday.

On the coast, life-threatening rip currents and five-to-seven-foot surf are possible through Friday. Officials say if you get a wireless emergency alert for flash flooding — take it seriously.
