POP-UP STORMS EXPECTED AT TIMES TODAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY… Scattered, pop-up showers and thunderstorms will be possible across south Alabama and northwest Florida today, tomorrow, and into Sunday. The main window for storms each day will happen between 10AM and 5PM. Storms will be possible before and after that window, but clearly midday, the afternoon, and early evening hours will be the time when we have the highest number of storms around. These are “diurnally driven” storms, meaning we observe a rise in coverage with peak heating each day. It will NOT rain all day in any given community, but you need an indoor backup plan if you have outdoor plans this weekend. I will have radar updates posted throughout the day each day in the RedZone Weather app. Widespread severe storms are NOT expected this weekend but storms will be capable of producing lightning, thunder, and very heavy rain at times.
MORE OF THE SAME INTO NEXT WEEK… Rain chances will likely decrease somewhat on Tuesday of the upcoming week with slightly higher rain chances slated for Wednesday and Thursday. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the mid 80s early next week with overnight lows in the upper 60s and near 70°.
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS POSSIBLE LATE NEXT WEEK… We’re seeing signs that high temperatures may trend back into the low 80s or maybe even the upper 70s as we get toward the latter part of the upcoming week. This won’t be a “cold snap” by any stretch, but considering our normal highs for this time of year are approaching the upper 80s and near 90°, this will be a welcome streak of “slightly below average” temperature days next week.
2026 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON STARTS MONDAY… The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially kicks off this coming Monday, June 1. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their annual hurricane season forecast last week. NOAA is projecting a below normal hurricane season due to the expectation of El Niño developing. The agency is calling for 8-14 named storms, 3-6 hurricanes, and 1-3 major hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf.
APP… If you haven’t already downloaded the RedZone Weather app, now is a great time to do that. redzoneweather.com/app is the link to the free download. Once you have the RZW app installed on your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to turn on the specific notifications you’d like to receive. All notifications are handcrafted by me. No automation and we promise not to bug you!
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 day and throughout the weekend, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.
Have a great weekend!
Scattered thunderstorms are expected at times on this Friday, particularly in the afternoon hours. Greatest rain chances will happen north of I-10 away from the coast, but even down at the beaches, isolated storms will be possible.
High temperatures will be in the mid 80s. https://t.co/ZBp3l3SVBu

Spotty showers may be possible overnight but I expect MOST locales to remain dry. Scattered storms increase in coverage tomorrow during the daytime hours. https://t.co/Cb38hit4uE

SCATTERED STORMS MOVING NORTH… Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to move north across south Alabama. I see nothing suggesting any severe weather issues but we are seeing cloud-to-ground lightning in the strongest of the storms.
Please be inside if you’re in range of hearing thunder.
