HEAT & HUMIDITY CONTINUE TODAY; SPOTTY P.M. STORMS… Hot and humid conditions will continue across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Sunday. Spotty showers and thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours with most of the showers and storms happening in coastal Alabama and northwest Florida. Most communities will remain dry and hot throughout the day. Any storm that develops may produce a localized downpour, cloud-to-ground lightning, and loud thunder.

HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR ALL LOCAL COUNTIES AGAIN TODAY… High temperatures will be in the 94-101° range across the region. When the high humidity is factored in, heat index values will range from 103° to as high as 115° in the hottest spots. A Heat Advisory is in effect for all local counties today. Take frequent breaks and stay hydrated if you will be outside for an extended period. Additional heat advisories may be needed early this week.

MAINLY DRY & HOT TODAY AND MONDAY; ONLY A FEW P.M. STORMS… Most communities will remain dry today and tomorrow, although a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms will be possible during the P.M. hours. It will not rain all day in any given community. Monday will be another very hot day with high temperatures in the 94-100° range. Overnight lows will only fall into the upper 70s and low 80s in many communities, offering little relief from the heat.

SLIGHTLY HIGHER RAIN CHANCES BY MIDWEEK… Rain chances will increase somewhat on Tuesday as weak disturbances move across the region and interact with the seabreeze. Scattered, mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Tuesday currently appears to have the highest rain coverage of the next several days, although it still will not rain everywhere or all day. Rain chances trend lower again Wednesday, but at least a few pop-up storms will remain possible each day through the latter part of the week.

EVER SO *SLIGHTLY* COOLER TEMPS & HEAT INDEX VALUES BY END OF THE WEEK… The forecast points to a subtle decrease in temperatures by Friday and Saturday. Highs will generally be in the low to mid 90s, compared to the mid 90s to near 100° expected earlier in the week. This will NOT be a meaningful cool down, but temperatures and heat index values may be slightly less oppressive by the end of the week.

TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN SEA QUIET… No tropical development is expected across the Gulf or Caribbean Sea over the next 7 days.

TROPICS: ATLANTIC TROPICAL WAVES FIZZLE OUT… The National Hurricane Center is not highlighting any disturbances across the Atlantic basin now after the flurry of activity with the tropical waves in the Atlantic Ocean last week. No named storms are expected anywhere across the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or in the Gulf over the next 5-7 days.

APP… If you’re not already using the RedZone Weather app, you can download it for free at redzoneweather.com/app. I post brief weather updates in the app throughout the day, as needed. Be sure to visit the Alerts tab after downloading the app so you can select the specific notifications you’d like to receive.

I will have updates posted throughout the day, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
