Weather conditions in Santa Rosa County may become severe Wednesday night.

The National Weather Service in Mobile is predicting severe weather conditions late Wednesday starting in the evening and going into the overnight hours. Isolated severe storms are possible as early as Wednesday morning. Santa Rosa County has been placed under an enhanced risk for severe weather.

With the severe weather, the main threats are tornadoes and damaging winds up to 60 miles per hour (mph) or greater. The National Weather Service said a strong (EF2+) tornado is possible.

The Florida Department of Transportation announced a traffic advisory for state roads in Santa Rosa County and other areas where crews will be working throughout the month of December. Those roads include:

U.S. 98 (Navarre Parkway) Turn Lane Construction at the new Publix – Drivers will encounter intermittent outside westbound lane closures near Rosewood Avenue on Mon., Dec. 12 and Tues., Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for paving operations.

The public is invited to address the Santa Rosa County state legislative delegation at a public hearing beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the Gulf Breeze Community Center, 800 Shoreline Drive in Gulf Breeze.

The hearing is the only one scheduled in Santa Rosa County before lawmakers report to Tallahassee on Dec. 12 for interim committee meetings.

Not all of Santa Rosa County’s growth is in Pace and East Milton. There’s still property to develop in Navarre.

The county’s Development Services Department is reviewing site plans for two waterfront housing projects, one on the mainland and one on Navarre Beach. The developments both are designed according to existing Land Development Code zoning standards, so the cases will not go before the Zoning Board or county commission. As long as staff approves their plans and they receive the appropriate permits, the developers can go ahead with their plans.
