SPOTTY STORMS TODAY AND TUESDAY; HIGHER RAIN CHANCES WEDNESDAY… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible on this Monday across south Alabama and northwest Florida. It will not rain all day across the region but we will have a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms being possible throughout the day. Widespread severe storms seem unlikely today. Any thunderstorms that last longer than an hour or so could pose a risk of flash flooding as the ground is still highly saturated in many communities due to the prolific rainfall we had last week. Afternoon high temperatures will be a bit hotter than the last few days. Most spots will top out in the low 90s today. Higher rain chances are slated to happen on Wednesday and Thursday with lower rain chances expected for the upcoming weekend.

RAIN & STORMS LIKELY AT TIMES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY… The pattern today and in the days ahead will support multiple complexes of thunderstorms that happen to our west and northwest that could ultimately move into our local area. For now, it appears the highest rain chances this week will happen on Wednesday and Thursday. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will be possible. High temperatures will be in the low 90s on Wednesday and Thursday.

LOWER RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND… A ridge of high pressure will build in to the local area this weekend, suggesting the coverage of scattered showers and thunderstorms will lessen considerably. That doesn’t mean a few spots won’t have rain, but the overall coverage of rain and storms will be much less than the pattern we have been in over the last few weeks. High temperatures will be in the low 90s this weekend with morning lows in the low to mid 70s.

TROPICAL UPDATE: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET, FOR NOW… The Gulf, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean remain quiet with no tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days. The climatological peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season happens in mid-September. Tropical Storm Arthur happened last week. The next names on the 2026 tropical/hurricane naming list are Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, and Kyle.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY, AL FOLKS: You may heard rumors over the years that “the opening of the Gantt Dam” will contribute to the flooding of Brewton, Alabama. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Gantt Dam and Point A Dam in Covington County are owned and operated by PowerSouth. These dams are located on the Conecuh River. While it is true that Murder Creek and Burnt Corn Creek drain into the Conecuh River south of Brewton, ANY controlled releases at the upstream dams DO NOT contribute in any meaningful way to the water levels of the two creeks that run through the Brewton area.

PowerSouth is required by law to maintain water levels in Gantt Lake and Point A Lake. Controlled releases, in times of high water, adequately and safely do this. These water releases can cause flooding in portions of Covington, extreme southeast Conecuh, and far eastern Escambia counties right along the banks and surrounding areas of the Conecuh River. The controlled releases DO NOT affect water levels of Murder Creek and Burnt Corn Creek, however, that are totally separate drainage basins than the upstream Conecuh basin.

Water from Murder Creek and Burnt Corn Creek also does not “back up” into Brewton when controlled releases are happening. That isn’t the way it works.

Water levels of Burnt Corn Creek and Murder Creek are now DROPPING as of 11:30PM Sunday night. The official forecast from the National Weather Service shows both creek levels continuing to drop, gradually, over the next few days.

The water levels of the Conecuh River in Escambia County will continue to rise, slowly, over the next few days until a projected crest of 27 feet happens around Wednesday. Minor flood stage is 27 feet in the reporting station of the Conecuh River at Riverview. Minor flooding will continue to be possible along the Conecuh River basin through this week and potentially into the upcoming weekend.

When you see a person snapping a photo of the gushing water tomorrow morning at Gantt, rest assured this is part of the normal process and is NOT cause for panic, alarm, or concern.
