Hurricane Polo has maximum winds of 180 mph, making the system a powerful, category 5 hurricane. Thankfully, Polo continues to move away from Mexico in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Interests in Baja California should monitor Polo carefully as the system is expected to turn north https://t.co/0JG9glTlvi

Tropical Storm Fay and Tropical Storm Gonzalo will likely never be a direct concern for the continental United States. The Gulf and Caribbean Sea remain quiet.
The Pacific is QUITE active. Hurricane Nolo will bring impacts to Hawaii through the weekend. https://t.co/LpOGDcQR2z

It’s a cloudy morning in many communities across the region. I expect clouds to be rather slow to break up over the next several hours.
Pleasant temperatures! Most spots are near 70° as of 9AM. https://t.co/ZnxNfI13Mk

FANTASTIC WEATHER TODAY AND INTO WEEKEND; LOWER TEMPS & HUMIDITY… We have a taste of fall today and tomorrow with gorgeous weather and lower humidity expected. A cooler and drier airmass will support fantastic weather across south Alabama and northwest Florida today and through much of the weekend. Plenty of sunshine is expected today with basically no rain chances. High temperatures will be in the 82-86° range. Lower humidity will make conditions feel noticeably more comfortable compared to the persistent summer heat of recent weeks. Highs will gradually rise into the mid to upper 80s tomorrow. Partly cloudy skies are expected on Saturday and Sunday.
DRY, NICE CONDITIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES TONIGHT… Dry weather is expected across the entire region tonight for local high school football games. Lower humidity and temperatures falling after sunset should make for very pleasant conditions. No rain or thunderstorms are expected. We’ll start the games around 7PM in the mid to upper 70s with temperatures closer to the 70 degree mark by the end of each game.
COOLER MORNINGS TOMORROW AND SUNDAY… Many inland communities will dip into the upper 50s and low 60s early tomorrow morning, with slightly warmer temperatures closer to the coast. Another nice morning is expected Sunday with low 60s possible across inland areas. Temperatures will gradually trend warmer early next week, but the weekend mornings should feel refreshing.
MOSTLY DRY THROUGH WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK… Rain chances will remain at or near zero today and tomorrow. A highly isolated shower or storm cannot completely be ruled out Sunday, but nearly all communities should remain dry. Isolated to scattered storms become possible Monday before rain chances decrease somewhat Tuesday. High temperatures will gradually rebound into the upper 80s and near 90° Sunday through early next week.
RAIN CHANCES RISE MIDWEEK… Increasing rain and thunderstorm chances are expected Wednesday and Thursday. Rain chances are currently projected to be in the 30-50% range Wednesday, increasing to around a 50-60% chance on Thursday. This part of the forecast remains several days away, so details concerning coverage and timing may change. I’ll have updates posted throughout the weekend and into next week in the RedZone Weather app.
TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN QUIET… No tropical storms are expected to develop in the Gulf or Caribbean Sea over the next 5-7 days.
TROPICS: FAY RESTRENGTHENS INTO TROPICAL STORM IN NORTH ATLANTIC… Tropical Storm Fay has re-strengthened into a tropical storm over the north-central Atlantic Ocean while moving westward. Maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph in the latest advisory, with Fay located about 990 miles west-southwest of the Azores. Some additional strengthening was possible before a gradual weakening trend begins today. No direct land impacts are expected because of Tropical Storm Fay.
TROPICS: TROPICAL STORM GONZALO NEAR CABO VERDE ISLANDS… Tropical Storm Gonzalo formed late last evening just south of the Cabo Verde Islands. Gonzalo has prompted a Tropical Storm Warning for all of the Cabo Verde Islands. Increasing upper-level winds should prevent further development by Sunday. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and flash flooding will be possible in parts of the Cabo Verde Islands due to Gonzalo over the next few 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.
See all the details in your Friday RedZone Weather forecast video. My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15AM Monday morning. I will have updates posted throughout the weekend, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.
Have a wonderful weekend!
It’s a taste of fall, y’all. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s today with lower humidity!
Partly cloudy skies are expected throughout the day. Not expecting widespread rain or storms today.
High school football games will have pleasant weather this evening. Game time https://t.co/OakjmStSHc
