Heavy rain is causing flash flooding in the Florida Panhandle on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026. The warning covers northwestern Calhoun County and southeastern Jackson County. NWS Tallahassee issued it at 11:43 a.m. CDT Monday, Oct. 5, 2026 (12:43 p.m. EDT, 9:43 a.m. Pacific). It lasts until 2:45 p.m. CDT (3:45 p.m. EDT, 12:45 p.m. Pacific).

Grand Ridge, Altha, Sink Creek, Chipola, Union City and Ocheesee are among the places named. Flash flooding is happening now or will start soon. Small creeks and streams, town streets, highways, underpasses and low spots can flood. A separate Flood Watch from NWS Tallahassee also covers Calhoun, Jackson and nearby counties until 8 p.m. EDT (7 p.m. CDT, 5 p.m. Pacific), so more heavy rain is possible after this warning ends.

What to do: do not drive on flooded roads. Turn around, don’t drown. Most flood deaths happen in vehicles. Six inches of moving water can knock a person down. A foot or two of moving water can float a car or truck. You cannot tell how deep the water is from the driver’s seat. Dirt and clay farm roads can wash out under the water. Low bridges and creek crossings near the Chipola River can go under fast. If you are in a low spot, move to higher ground. If you are trapped, call 911. If you can report flooding safely, tell local emergency services. Do not treat the end time as an all-clear until weather.gov says the warning is over.
