Check the radar folks... Pensacola has some nasty thunderstorms right now. Not good for last minute preps.

That appears to be a seabreeze line interacting with the NW fringe of the circulation. The way things are looking we could get a couple of bands coming through here. I don't know if that first shot south of Mobile Bay can make it all the way here, but it should help juice up the air for future bands. /got my fingers crossed anyway

>>I think its one of the outer bands

It's both. Watch the radar loop. You see the one thrust moving E to W and the storms inland NW & W of Escambia Co. heading a little more SE to NW. FWIW, where it's intersecting at the north side of the Florida/Alabama border is where it appears to be the heaviest.

Pensacola should have some time this afternoon to finish hurricane preps before the next feeder band comes through around 6PM.
The band that is in mobile now came through the Tampa bay area this morning.
These bands come in pretty fast with brief heavy rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph.
There was a report of a tornado over in Tampa so take care.

We had a band come through about 2 hours ago. Bad lightening and some wind gust. Nice and calm right now here in Ft. Walton Beach.
