Rainfall Forecasts throughout the Crossroads
We could see anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain through the next couple of days with as much as 6 inches of rain possible in some areas.
Low areas and areas that drain slowly or poorly could experience flooding. Keep an eye out if you live near creeks, rivers, or streams as they may be on the rise and possibly overflow. A Flash Flood Watch means conditions exist which could lead to Flash Flooding. Keep your radio nearby or download our free station app to be able to track the weather in the Crossroads anytime. Rip Current risks are high along most of our Gulf-facing beaches.
