Attention! Poor weather conditions delay start of Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach
In a May 29 morning Facebook post, officials with the Gulf Coast Jam announced the concert and its parking "will not open until further notice." The four-day event is slated to run May 29 to June 1 at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach.
"After meeting with city officials and the National Weather Service, we are at standstill due to the concerns for our patrons, staff and artists," the post reads. "Will will continue to monitor the weather and update you as we get more information."
As of about 9:30 a.m. the original post already had 260 reactions, about 130 comments and more than 160 shares.

La Niña may be coming back, again. Here's what that means
On Thursday morning, the National Weather Service issued a La Niña Watch — an informal bulletin advising partners that a La Niña weather pattern is likely to emerge. It won't be a strong La Niña, and it won't last too long, but it should be a factor in shaping how North America's winter evolves.

La Niña is brewing. Here's what it means for California weather
Forecasters expect La Niña conditions to develop this fall and winter, according to an update Thursday by the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center. The agency has issued a La Niña watch, indicating that conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean are favorable for the climate pattern's formation in the coming months. La Niña is defined by cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific along the equator. The ocean waters affect atmospheric activity, tilting the odds toward drier than normal conditions in Southern California and wetter than average conditions to the far north, especially in the winter. The Climate Prediction Center's latest seasonal outlook for November, December and January hints at such a pattern. But the forecast isn't guaranteed: La Niña may not emerge at all. And, even if it does, other factors could outweigh La Niña's influence. The recurring climate phenomenon involving La Niña and its counterpart, El Niño, is 'the great nudger,' said Climate Prediction Center scientist Michelle L'Heureux. 'It won't always be successful.' Sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific are currently near normal, following a brief stretch of La Niña conditions last winter. The Climate Prediction Center outlook gives a 53% chance that La Niña conditions will develop in the fall. Forecasters expect the cooler than average waters to disappear shortly thereafter, with sea surface temperatures returning to near normal, or neutral, conditions in a few months. During the most recent fall and winter, California precipitation mimicked the expected La Niña pattern: Northern California logged above-average rain, while southern regions remained parched. A lack of rain in Los Angeles set the stage for the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, and more recent blazes that broke out in the region. But during the 2022-23 La Niña winter, Central and Southern California faced a flurry of storms fueled by atmospheric rivers, ribbons of water vapor in the sky. Downpours brought flooding across California and snowstorms produced one of the state's largest snowpacks on record. La Niña and El Niño aren't the only factors behind California weather. A recent study reported atmospheric rivers are 'wild cards' that can disrupt the patterns expected during La Niña or El Niño years. 'One or two atmospheric rivers can turn it into a wet year, but a weak atmospheric river season can turn it into a dry year,' said author Rosa Luna-Niño, a postdoctoral scholar at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in a statement. 'This means we can't trust El Niño and La Niña completely to make accurate water year predictions.' L'Heureux explained that La Niña's influence is on seasonal time scales, rather than the day-to-day time scale of individual weather events. It's 'playing on a slightly different ball field,' L'Heureux said. One effect, for example, could be shifting atmospheric rivers slightly northward over the course of an entire season. Signs that La Niña could potentially form have appeared in the past month, with shifts in ocean temperatures and wind patterns, L'Heureux said. But how the coming months will play out remains an open question. 'We need to wait … to see if a significant La Niña is going to develop this winter,' said Shang-Ping Xie, a climate scientist at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, by email.

Flooding In Tennessee Damages Countless Cars
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Flooding in Chattanooga, Tennessee made a mess of roads, flooding countless cars and causing widespread destruction. Even worse, at the time this article was written, the death toll was at four individuals, a number which likely will more rain forecasted for the area by the National Weather Service, the flooding is expected to worsen before it gets better. That has officials pleading with people to stay home instead of trying to traverse flooded roads. Numerous streets and neighborhoods are flooded, with cars abandoned as drivers who thought they could make it were forced to leave their rides. Even more shocking, sections of Interstate 24 by the Georgia border have become impassible, thanks to high waters and stalled out cars. Footage taken by a bystander and shared on social media site X shows a man breaking the back window on an SUV to rescue a woman trapped inside. The water comes up to the man's neck as the vehicle floats helplessly in the floodwaters. One of the deceased was found in floodwaters as rescuers searched for someone else who was swept away, reports Chattanooga Times Free Press. The other three deaths were from a family who were in their car when a tree fell on it. The best way to not get into a bad situation when a road is flooded is to not drive down it. Many times, drivers believe the water they're headed towards is shallower than it really is, only realizing once they're literally in too deep that they're in trouble. Everyone should have a glass break in their car, just in case they end up in a situation where they need to escape through a window quickly. Most vehicles will float for a few minutes before they start to sink, and that's when you want to get out. Image via X Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.
