COLD TONIGHT; NICE WEEKEND UPCOMING… The upcoming weekend will feature beautiful weather across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Afternoon highs will be around the 70 degree mark on both Saturday and Sunday. 😎
Before we get there, cold conditions will happen tonight into tomorrow and early Friday. Low temps below freezing the next two nights!
RAIN MOVING EAST… Showers continue to gradually move east on this Wednesday morning. Light to moderate rain will continue to be possible over the next several hours until 10-11AM when this shield of rain will clear to our east.
Severe storms are not expected.
RAIN MOVING OUT; TWO COLD NIGHTS AHEAD; WARMER WEEKEND… Scattered showers will continue to be possible over the next several hours ahead of colder, drier air pushing into the local area at midday and into the afternoon hours. High temperatures have already occurred today in many communities across the region due to a strong cold front pushing in. Temperatures around 3PM will be in the 40s inland with 50s likely closer to the coast. Get ready for more cold weather, at least temporarily. High temperatures tomorrow will struggle to get to the 50 degree mark. Warmer weather will arrive just in time for the weekend.
TEMPERATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT… After rain moves out, much colder, drier air arrives behind the advancing cold front this evening. Temperatures will fall into the 30s this evening. Most spots will have an overnight low in the 26-33° range across the region with the colder values happening north of US84. Wind chill values will be as low as 17° further inland. Tomorrow, afternoon highs are expected to be in the 40s inland with 50s likely closer to the coast. Another night with subfreezing temperatures is expected tomorrow night into Friday morning.
WARMER TEMPERATURES COMING THIS WEEKEND; DRY PATTERN… Milder temperatures are on the way for the upcoming weekend. Afternoon highs will top out in the 60s on Saturday with highs in the low 70s on Sunday and on Monday. Sunny, dry conditions are likely this weekend into early next week.

RAIN CLEARS OUT OVER NEXT FEW HOURS… Rain will continue moving east and out of our local area over the next several hours. Temperatures this afternoon will be in the 50s ahead of overnight lows below freezing in many spots by 6AM Thursday.
Spotty showers continue to increase in coverage across south Alabama and northwest Florida. While I can't completely rule out a clap of thunder or two overnight, specifically near the coast, MOST communities will simply have rain at times into tomorrow morning. pic.twitter.com/OzZeaGhnf0

SHOWERS & STORMS THRU WEDNESDAY MORNING; NOT EXPECTING SEVERE STORMS… Rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be possible at times overnight into Wednesday morning. Thankfully, I am not expecting severe storms with this system. Rain amounts, in total, will generally be in the 0.25″ to 1″ range when all the rain ends tomorrow. A few claps of thunder will be possible near the coast, but I expect RAIN to be the norm tomorrow morning. Widespread flash flooding is not expected.
TIMING – RAIN & STORMS… Scattered showers are happening now across parts of southwest Alabama. The main window for rain and storms will happen from 11PM tonight through 11AM tomorrow morning. Widespread thunderstorms are not expected, but a few rumbles of thunder will be possible around the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. Severe storms are not expected.
COLD AIR RETURNS TOMORROW… Rain will clear out to our east by the early afternoon hours tomorrow. Cold, dry air moves in tomorrow evening. Overnight lows will be in the 20s inland with low 30s closer to the coast tomorrow night. High temperatures on Thursday will only be in the 40s and 50s with warmer air returning for the weekend.
