STRONG STORMS NEAR ATMORE & BAY MINETTE… Thunderstorms have lined up along the US31 and I-65 corridors between Bay Minette and Poarch. The severe thunderstorm warning has just been cancelled as this storm is likely below severe limits at this point. Driving right now on Highway 31 anywhere between Flomaton and Stapleton will be difficult due to all the heavy rain around. That includes US31 near Bay Minette, Perdido, Atmore, and Nokomis. Also, no driving right now on I-65 between the Bay Minette exits all the way up to Exit 69 (Flomaton/Wallace). Same thing on Alabama Highway 21 between the AL/FL state line by Atmore all the way up to Huxford. Heavy rain!

NUMEROUS STORMS LIKELY TODAY… Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will pop up throughout the day across south Alabama and northwest Florida. The odds of any given location across our region seeing rain today is around 70-80%. We’re looking at pop-up, pulse-type thundertorms that will be capable of producing heavy rain, lots of lightning (just like yesterday and last evening), and gusty winds. The overall severe weather risk remains low and the tornado risk is near zero. Skies will be mostly cloudy after lunch, meaning high temperatures will likely be peaking around 88-89 in most locations. Have the rain gear handy throughout the day!

NUISANCE FLOODING POSSIBLE AT TIMES… The National Weather Service in Mobile notes that our area could potentially see some nuisance-type flooding due to all of the rain around our area today. Ponding on roadways and street flooding near small creeks/streams will be possible.

UPDATES IN APP… Because widespread severe weather is not expected, per our usual, I’ll have plenty of updates throughout the day over on Twitter (@rzweather) and here in the RedZone Weather app.

See all the details/maps in your Tuesday #rzw forecast video that will be posted shortly here in the RZWeather app… Enjoy the day!

STORMS FADING THIS EVENING… Showers are approaching the Alabama beaches from the north. If you’re in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, downpours are likely within moments.

The rain near Century, Walnut Hill, Bratt, Lake Stone, Wawbeek, Atmore, and Poarch is drifting east toward Flomaton. This complex of rain is quickly fading and should dissipate completely within the hour.

The heaviest rain in our area is happening in Covington County near Gantt, Heath, Straughn, and Andalusia. This complex of rain and storms will drift eastward toward Opp and Rose Hill over the next hour or so.

Another round of showers and numerous thunderstorms is expected on Tuesday across our region!

STORMS SLOWLY WEAKENING… Storms in western Covington and eastern Escambia (AL) counties continue to produce quite a bit of lighting and thunder. Heavy rain is happening near Loango, Boggs & Boulders, Hoomesville, Boykin, Damascus, and Teddy. I wouldn’t be shocked if the weakening storms reached the western side of Andalusia within the next 20-30 minutes.

The complex of storms in Baldwin and Escambia (FL) counties is weakening at a quicker pace, but still producing lots of lightning and heavy downpours of rain. Rain near Robertsdale, Silverhill, Gateswood, Walnut Hill, and Barrineau Park will continue to fade away over the next 20 minutes.

Tuesday is slated to bring even more rainfall to south Alabama and northwest Florida. Numerous thunderstorms are expected throughout the day!
