SPOTTY SHOWERS THIS EVENING; A FEW STORMS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY; COOLER TEMPS THIS WEEKEND… Spotty showers will become possible later today across south Alabama and northwest Florida ahead of a slightly higher chance of rain tonight into Wednesday. High temperatures today will be in the upper 70s to low 80s under mostly cloudy skies. A few thunderstorms may accompany a cold front tomorrow, but the potential for severe weather remains quite low. Behind the cold front, we will transition to a drier pattern with gradually cooler temperatures as we get into the weekend.

RAIN POSSIBLE AT TIMES LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT… A few showers may develop during the day, with rain chances increasing this evening and overnight as a warm front lifts northward. Rain chances tonight range from about 40% to 70% across the region. That does not mean continuous rain through the night, but showers will become more likely as our next weather system approaches. Overnight lows will be in the upper 60s. Winds will also be breezy today, with gusts around 20 mph inland and up to 30 mph being possible at the beaches.

SCATTERED SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY; MOST LOCALES TO REMAIN DRY… Wednesday brings our highest rain chances of the week as a cold front moves across the region. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible, with some rain potentially lingering into Wednesday night. Coverage will vary across the area, and the exact timing of the front remains somewhat uncertain. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. It seems like the increased rain chances do NOT come with a comparable increase in severe weather potential. Instability looks limited, and the better combination of upper-level support and wind shear is expected to remain north of our area. Organized severe storms are not currently expected locally, and we note the Storm Prediction Center does not have our local area included in a formal severe weather risk zone for Wednesday.

DRIER, COOLER CONDITIONS LATER THIS WEEK… Rain chances decrease substantially Thursday as the front moves east of our area and high pressure settles in behind it. A few lingering showers cannot be ruled out Thursday, but Friday looks dry. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s Thursday, followed by mid to upper 70s Friday. Nights will turn progressively cooler as drier air filters into the region.

NICE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND… The weekend looks quite nice for outdoor plans with cooler afternoons and generally low rain chances. High temperatures Saturday will be in the low to upper 70s, followed by low to mid 70s Sunday. Saturday has the lowest rain chances of the two days. A few showers may become possible Sunday, but widespread rain is not expected.

SURGE OF COOLER AIR ARRIVES EARLY NEXT WEEK… A reinforcing cold front over the weekend will help bring another step down in temperatures heading into early next week. Highs Monday are forecast to be in the upper 60s to low 70s, with rain chances remaining quite low. The overall pattern favors cooler days and nights rather than a big round of rain accompanying the cold front.

TROPICS: SUBTROPICAL DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE SOUTH OF BERMUDA… The National Hurricane Center is highlighting a low (20%) chance of subtropical development over the next 7 days in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. An area of low pressure is expected to form along a weakening frontal boundary a few hundred miles northeast of the Bahamas. That low could acquire some subtropical characteristics late this week while drifting over the SW Atlantic. The opportunity for development is expected to end by the weekend as the system moves east or northeast into less favorable conditions. No Gulf impacts are expected due to this system, regardless of if development happens.

TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN REMAIN QUIET… The National Hurricane Center is not highlighting any areas for tropical development in the Gulf or Caribbean Sea over the next 5-7 days. The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season continues through November 30.
