FEW SHOWERS TODAY; COLD AIR ARRIVES THURSDAY NIGHT; COLD WEEKEND COMING UP… Spotty rain showers will be possible across south Alabama and northwest Florida over the next few hours. Any rain is expected to clear out to the east by 3-4PM. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s with a mix of sunshine and clouds. A strong cold front moves through tomorrow evening, bringing a substantial change in temperatures tomorrow night into Friday. The weekend will feature chilly afternoons and the potential for a light freeze in some inland communities.
ISOLATED SHOWERS IN PROGRESS THIS MORNING; RAIN CLEARS TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON… Spotty rain showers will continue to be possible over the next several hours into the early afternoon. Rain amounts are expected to be generally under 0.1″ in total. Thunderstorm chances remain very low, and severe storms are not expected today. Dry conditions are forecast tonight with lows ranging from the low 50s to the mid 60s across the region.
ONE MORE MILD DAY TOMORROW… Thursday will bring one more relatively mild day before the colder air settles in. High temperatures tomorrow will range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s. No rain is expected, so the temperature change will be the main weather story as we head toward the weekend.
COLD FRONT ARRIVES TOMORROW… The strong cold front is expected to cross our area tomorrow morning into the early afternoon. Much cooler, drier air will move in behind the front, becoming more noticeable tomorrow night. Lows Thursday night will range from the upper 30s to the mid 50s across the region. Over the Gulf, winds will strengthen and seas will build behind the front.
COOLER AIR ON FRIDAY… Friday will feel considerably cooler than today with high temperatures in the upper 50s and 60s. Dry weather is expected throughout the day and into Friday night. Keep the jackets handy if you have outdoor plans Friday evening as temperatures fall toward a cold start to Saturday.
COOL DAYS, COLD NIGHTS THIS WEEKEND; FREEZE POSSIBLE INLAND… Saturday will feature highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, followed by low to mid 60s Sunday. Rain chances remain near zero through the daytime hours of the weekend. The bigger concern will be the cold nights, particularly across inland areas near and north of U.S. Highway 84. A light freeze is possible late Friday night into Saturday morning and again late Saturday night into Sunday morning, with the coldest spots forecast to reach around 32°. Freezing temperatures are not expected everywhere. Plan ahead to protect sensitive plants where a freeze is possible.
FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK… A few showers may return Sunday night into Monday, although rain chances remain low and many communities will stay dry. Temperatures will gradually recover, with highs in the 60s to near 70° Monday and the upper 60s to low 70s Tuesday. Rain chances decrease again Tuesday.
TROPICS: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET… The tropics remain quiet, including the Gulf and Caribbean Sea. No tropical development is expected across the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. The Atlantic hurricane season ends November 30.
