VERY HOT & HUMID TODAY AND TUESDAY… This will likely be one of the hottest weeks of 2026 with air temperatures projected to be in the upper 90s today and on Tuesday. Some communities may hit 100° or even 101° tomorrow afternoon. Factor in the humidity and the heat index values will be in the 110-115° range each afternoon through Wednesday. Only a few widely scattered showers and perhaps one or two thunderstorms will be possible but nearly all of us across south Alabama and northwest Florida are expected to be dry and quite hot today.

TOP STORY: HOT TEMPERATURES LOCALLY… Hot temperatures will persist through the entire week but clearly the more excessive heat and humidity will happen today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. Air temperatures will be in the upper 90s today, in the low 100s tomorrow, and again in the upper 90s on Wednesday. Overnight lows will be in the mid 70s this week.

SPOTTY SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Rain chances are projected to increase slightly as we get into the latter part of the week and into the upcoming weekend. I am not expecting an all day rain event by any stretch but P.M. showers and thunderstorms will become more likely to happen each day as we get into the weekend. Afternoon high temperatures this weekend will be in the low 90s as opposed to the upper 90s over the next couple of days.

TROPICS: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET… After Tropical Storm Bertha last week, we’re now back in a quiet period in the Atlantic Basin (including the Gulf and Caribbean Sea) with no tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days. Seasonal outlooks consistently have suggested that the Atlantic Basin may have a below normal year, in terms of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes that form. We’re in a very strong El Niño pattern that typically suppresses hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin. It only takes one storm to make it a memorable year, however. I’ll be monitoring trends, particularly as we get into the three most active months of the hurricane season in August, September, and October. For now, we’re good with no significant tropical activity expected in the days ahead.

TROPICS: ACTIVE PACIFIC BASIN… Hurricane Fausto continues moving west in the central Pacific Ocean. Fausto, or what is left of the system, will likely pass just to the north of the Hawaiian Islands later this week. In addition to Fausto, we’re also tracking Hurricane Genevieve in the eastern Pacific. Genevieve is not expected to directly affect Mexico and will instead generally move northwest through the open waters of the eastern Pacific in the days ahead. Neither of these systems are expected to ever come anywhere close to Alabama or Florida.
