Scattered Showers Possible Today; Rain Chances Rise Toward Friday

A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected this afternoon across the North Escambia area, with only a 20 percent probability of measurable precipitation, according to the National Weather Service forecast.

Tuesday will remain mostly sunny with highs climbing near 91 degrees. Winds will stay calm through the morning before turning northeast around 5 mph in the afternoon.
