MOSTLY SUNNY TUESDAY; HIGH RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND… Plenty of sunshine is expected across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Tuesday. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s and low 90s. We’re looking ahead to the end of the week and the weekend when scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will become possible. At least some chance of a few stronger storms may happen at times this weekend but it remains a bit too early to be able to nail down specific hazard chances. This is something I will be closely monitoring in the days ahead. Expect active weather returning to the forecast in a few days!

MAINLY DRY TODAY AND WEDNESDAY; SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS… A dry airmass will remain in place today, and most communities should remain dry Wednesday as well. Temperatures will be slightly warmer today compared to Monday because of the abundant sunshine in place across the region. Highs will again be in the upper 80s to low 90s tomorrow. Elevated fire danger remains a concern today because of the dry air and ongoing dry ground conditions, even though winds will remain light. Please keep that in mind if you’re planning to do a controlled burn.

SPOTTY STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY, MAINLY IN EVENING… Moisture will increase across the region Thursday as winds become more southeasterly. Spotty showers and thunderstorms will become possible, although coverage should remain uneven. That means not every community will have rain around on Thursday. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… An approaching upper-level trough will help scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms develop Friday into Saturday. Rain chances will be quite elevated on Friday and especially on Saturday. Rain may be intermittent at times, but outdoor plans could be affected by heavy rain, including Friday evening activities. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s Friday and low to mid 80s Saturday. Localized flooding may become a concern on Saturday if storms train over the same areas.

MORE STORMS LIKELY AT TIMES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY… The unsettled pattern will continue Sunday into Monday with more showers and thunderstorms likely at times. Rain chances remain elevated early next week as well. Temperatures will trend lower because of increased clouds and rain, with highs in the low to mid 80s. Specific timing and rainfall details remain uncertain this far out. Please check back in for updates in the days ahead.

BEACHES: RIP CURRENT ALERT… A High Risk of rip currents is expected to develop at all Alabama and northwest Florida beaches by late Wednesday night and continue through Thursday and into the weekend as onshore flow increases. Please heed the red flags at local beaches when/if those become necessary.

TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN REMAIN QUIET… The National Hurricane Center is not currently highlighting any tropical disturbances in the Gulf or Caribbean Sea.

TROPICS: HIGH CHANCE OF NEW TROPICAL STORM DEVELOPING IN NORTH ATLANTIC… INVEST 91L is an area of low pressure located well east-northeast of Bermuda over the north-central Atlantic Ocean. The system is moving quickly eastward and has started showing signs of better organization. NHC indicates an 80% chance of development over the next 5-7 days. A tropical depression or tropical storm will likely form over the next day or two before environmental conditions become less favorable later this week.

TROPICS: T.D. FAY REMAINS WEAK IN NORTH-CENTRAL ATLANTIC… Tropical Depression Fay remains over the open waters of the central Atlantic, about 1,210 miles west-southwest of the Azores. Maximum sustained winds remain near 35 mph, and little change in strength is forecast over the next 48 hours. Fay is expected to turn toward the southwest and then west-southwest. T.D. Fay remains no threat to any land areas.

ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD THIS WEEKEND; MULTIPLE WAVES OF RAIN & STORMS… Quiet weather will continue through midweek ahead of an increasingly active weather pattern set to happen across the Deep South this weekend into early next week. I am expecting multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms starting as early as Friday. Saturday and Sunday will likely be quite wet throughout each day with multiple rounds of rain and storms being possible. There is a chance we may have to deal with at least some risk of a few stronger storms, but confidence in hazard placement and intensity remains low, for now. This is something I will be closely monitoring in the days ahead. Please join me for the daily morning video updates for more info.

PROLIFIC GULF MOISTURE TO LEAD TO SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS THIS WEEKEND… While there will be breaks in the rain this weekend, I expect multiple waves of rain and storms on Saturday and Sunday. The high school football games on Friday may be wet at times. Flash flooding may be a concern this weekend if storms train over the same areas.

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.

I will have a detailed look at the forecast in the next regularly scheduled RedZone Weather forecast video that will be posted by 7:15AM.

Have a nice Monday evening!
