Franklin County Emergency Management Invest 90L Advisory



05/24/18

Invest 90L will move into the Gulf of Mexico Friday night, reaching the Gulf Coast by Sunday night. There is a high chance (90%) that the storm in the western Caribbean will develop into a tropical cyclone in the next few days.

Impacts will be felt in Franklin County beginning on Saturday night. Franklin County is expected to receive at least 5-7 inches of rainfall, most of which will occur Saturday night.

Slow movement near and after landfall will result in heavy rain and potential for flash flooding. Water over flood prone coastal roads and minor coastal erosion are anticipated. Greatest surge to arrive Sunday morning and afternoon.

The following are the HIGH Tides for Franklin County:
