Evergreen Guidance
Planning Around Gulf Coast Weather
Florida's Gulf Coast experiences everything from fast-moving afternoon storms to tropical weather during hurricane season. Before heading out, check local forecasts, beach flags, surf conditions, and any active advisories. During severe weather, rely on official guidance rather than social media posts or unofficial forecasts.
Before You Head to the Beach
Check weather, beach flags, rip-current risk, and radar. A green flag means calm conditions; double red means the water is closed to swimmers.
During Severe Weather
Stay indoors when advised and follow official emergency alerts. Do not rely on social media for evacuation or shelter-in-place decisions.
Before Driving
Check road, bridge, and local transportation conditions at FL511.com before traveling through the area after a storm.
