Spotty thunderstorms are developing near and just north of the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches this morning. These storms are slowly drifting east.
Expect an uptick in the coverage of storms across the region over the next few hours. https://t.co/Niqbxi65cP

Spotty thunderstorms will increase in coverage this weekend into early next week. Sunday and Monday, in particular, will probably be quite wet with scattered to numerous pop-up storms each day.
High temperatures will be in the upper 80s next week, mainly due to more clouds and https://t.co/7SJVEYrMVC

ANOTHER ROUND OF P.M. STORMS TODAY; HIGHER RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND… Mostly sunny skies over the next few hours will gradually give way to more clouds in the sky around midday. Some of these clouds will inevitably become towering cumulonimbus clouds that support scattered showers and thunderstorms being possible across south Alabama and northwest Florida this afternoon into this evening. Not every community will have rain before the end of the day, but many communities probably will have rain and thunder around at times as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s but with the humidity factored in, I expect heat index values to be in the 100-108° range this afternoon. Higher rain chances are on the way for the weekend and into early next week.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY… More of the same is expected on Friday into Saturday with scattered (mainly P.M.) showers and thunderstorms being possible. Rain chances will elevate on Sunday and Monday as a surge of Gulf moisture moves into the region. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will be possible on both Sunday and Monday. Cloud-to-ground lightning, loud thunder, and localized areas of heavy rain are expected in the storms. Gusty winds may happen in the strongest of the storms. Widespread, significant severe storms, however, are not expected. I will have radar updates posted this weekend into early next week in the RedZone Weather app.
TROPICS REMAIN QUIET… The Gulf, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean are not expected to support any tropical storms developing this weekend or into early next week. There are a couple of tropical disturbances noted in the Pacific Ocean, one southwest of Mexico that will basically parallel the western coast of Mexico and move northeast in the days ahead. The other disturbance is southeast of Hawaii in the central Pacific. Neither of those systems will ever come close to directly affecting Alabama or northwest Florida.
