Scattered showers and occasional thunderstorms continue to push eastward across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Saturday.

Severe storms are not expected over land areas. https://t.co/ukdExHa09G

RAIN CONTINUES OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY; SEVERE STORMS UNLIKELY… Good news! Intermittent rain is set to continue overnight into Saturday morning. Severe storms are increasingly UNLIKELY to happen as all of the warm, unstable air remains shunted offshore in the northern Gulf. It doesn’t appear the unstable air is going to make it into our area, thus severe storms are not expected over land areas overnight. This really is a best case scenario as our area will have rain and thunderstorms overnight and probably not much else.

I will monitor radar trends over the next few hours, but we will plan to have a “normal night” instead of severe weather ops. Great news!

Rain is expected to clear to our east by 2PM tomorrow.

Have a good evening!

Big, beautiful RAIN!

Not expecting severe weather issues. Just rain and general thunderstorms likely overnight. https://t.co/Qm4ZuczTNf

Good news: Widespread light to moderate rain is happening across much of the region as of 5:22PM.

Better news: The tornado risk overnight seems VERY, very low if not zero. Warmer air remains shunted offshore. Some storms overnight may produce hail.

Best news: Widespread 1-3″ https://t.co/9MKw8q3Kr4

Large mass of rain across Mississippi and Louisiana will gradually move into south Alabama and northwest Florida over the next few hours. Expect a wet evening!

The good news is we won’t be dealing with severe weather issues through at least midnight. The severe weather risk https://t.co/E2Rp0z9gjE
