FEW P.M. STORMS; HOT TODAY BUT SLIGHTLY COOLER, DRIER AIR FILTERS IN THURSDAY… Hot temperatures will happen on this Wednesday, but slightly cooler, slightly drier air will start filtering into our region tomorrow. High temperatures will be in the 90-94° range with heat index values potentially reaching 105° in a few communities. Mostly sunny skies are expected across south Alabama and northwest Florida this morning into the afternoon hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible this evening, mainly between 4PM and 9PM. Widespread severe storms are not expected, but storms may be “loud and proud” at times with quite a bit of lightning and thunder.

DRIER WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY; SLIGHTLY COOLER & LESS HUMIDITY… A drier airmass will become established across the region tomorrow and Friday. High temperatures will be in the 87-92° range tomorrow, followed by highs in the upper 80s region wide on Friday. Most communities will remain dry on both days, although an isolated shower cannot be completely ruled out on Thursday. Lower humidity will make conditions feel more comfortable compared to the last few weeks.

PLEASANT WEATHER FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FRIDAY EVENING… Dry conditions are expected across south Alabama and northwest Florida on Friday evening for all of the high school football games across the region. The combination of lower humidity, decreasing temperatures, and a near-zero rain chance should make for pleasant conditions at local high school football games. Temperatures will start in the low to mid 80s at 7PM, falling into the mid 70s by the 4th Quarter of each game.

VERY NICE MORNINGS THIS WEEKEND; LOWS IN 60S… Many inland communities will dip into the 60s early Saturday and Sunday mornings. Low temperatures will range from the low to mid 60s in the coolest spots to the upper 60s near the coast. These will be some very nice mornings across the region compared to the persistent heat and humidity we have experienced over the last number of weeks.

MAINLY SUNNY THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK… Saturday and Sunday will feature plenty of sunshine with high temperatures generally in the upper 80s. Rain chances will remain very low through the weekend. A modest increase in the number of showers and thunderstorms becomes possible Monday and Tuesday, but widespread rain is not expected based on the latest forecast guidance.

RIP CURRENT ALERT… One note for anyone planning to visit the Alabama or northwest Florida beaches: Increasing easterly flow will cause the rip current risk to rise late this week into the weekend. Please be sure to check the beach flags before entering the Gulf. Rip currents kill far too many people along our shores!

TROPICS: GULF AND CARIBBEAN REMAIN QUIET… The National Hurricane Center is not highlighting any tropical disturbances in the Gulf or Caribbean Sea. No tropical storms are expected to develop in the Gulf or Caribbean over the next 5-7 days.

TROPICS: TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC… Tropical Depression Fay is located in the open waters of the North Atlantic, approximately 675 miles southwest of the Azores. Maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph in the latest advisory. Fay is expected to degenerate into a post-tropical remnant low today. No direct impacts to the USA are expected due to Fay.
