MOSTLY SUNNY TODAY; A FEW SHOWERS FRIDAY; RAIN & STORMS LIKELY EASTER SUNDAY… Today will be mostly sunny in many spots across south Alabama and northwest Florida. A few highly isolated, small showers may develop this evening across parts of Covington, Crenshaw, and Butler counties in south Alabama. The vast majority of us across the region will remain completely dry today. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s inland with temperatures in the upper 70s and near the 80 degree mark closer to the immediate coast. Isolated showers will be possible at times on Friday and Saturday ahead of a more organized rain event setting up for Easter Sunday.

ISOLATED SHOWERS AT TIMES ON GOOD FRIDAY… Low-end rain chances are expected tomorrow (Good Friday) with spotty showers being possible mostly in the afternoon and early evening hours. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 80s tomorrow.

MAINLY DRY; A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE SATURDAY… If you have outdoor plans on Saturday, I would proceed, knowing there is only a low-end chance of a few widely scattered showers throughout the day. Have a way to check the radar on Saturday (you can do so at redzoneweather.com/radar or in the Radar tab of the RedZone Weather app) as “hit or miss” small showers will again be possible in the afternoon and evening hours, quite similar to Friday. High temperatures on Saturday will again be in the low to mid 80s.

RAIN & THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EASTER SUNDAY… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will significantly increase in coverage across the Deep South on Easter Sunday ahead of an advancing cold front. For now, the overall chance of any severe storms remains low, but this is something that will need to be monitored over the next few days. The latest timing guidance suggests some communities may have scattered rain and storms around as early as 3AM on Sunday with rain chances rising from northwest to southeast throughout the day on Sunday.

HIGH UNCERTAINTY MONDAY; RAIN POSSIBLE… Monday presents a forecast challenge as some models show quite a bit of rain while other scenarios point to drier conditions. I am encouraged because at least one of the major global weather models (the American-based GFS) shows quite a bit of rain streaming in from the west on Monday, potentially providing multiple hours of a slow, steady rain. That would be extremely beneficial for our region due to the ongoing drought, but unfortunately that scenario isn’t set in stone by any means. I will monitor trends and bring you the latest about Monday in the days ahead.

COOLER TEMPS EARLY NEXT WEEK… Regardless of if rain happens Monday, we know that high temperatures will be much cooler early next week due to the passage of the cold front. Highs on Monday will likely be around the 70 degree mark. Overnight lows Monday night into Tuesday morning will be in the upper 40s inland with 50s likely near I-10.

APP… If you haven’t already downloaded the RedZone Weather app, now is a great time to do that. redzoneweather.com/app is the link to the free download. Once you have the RZW app installed on your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to turn on the specific notifications you’d like to receive. All notifications are handcrafted by me. No automation and we promise not to bug you!

See all the details in your Thursday RedZone Weather forecast video. My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. I will have updates posted throughout the day, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.
