NICE, SUNNY WEDNESDAY; RAIN RETURNS THIS WEEKEND… Plenty of sunshine is expected on this Wednesday across the local area. High temperatures will peak in the low-70s by 3PM. More sunshine is expected on Thursday before clouds begin increasing in number on Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will return to the area late Saturday into Sunday as a cold front approaches from the north. Let’s look at a few details…

NICE FEW DAYS AHEAD… Today, Thursday, and much of the day on Friday will be *quite* nice with increasing temperatures likely each day. We’re expecting low-70s this afternoon, but we’ll quickly rise into the upper-70s by Friday. Sunshine should be plentiful through Friday morning. Clouds will become more numerous on Friday evening.

WARM SATURDAY WITH STORMS POSSIBLE IN EVENING… Highs on Saturday could easily hit the 80 degree mark in most spots. This surge of warm air from the south is out ahead of an advancing cold front that will move across our region on Sunday morning, ushering in cooler, drier air. Before that stable air moves in, we will likely have a round of showers and thunderstorms late Saturday into Sunday. Severe weather parameters remain LOW, for now. We’ll keep watching parameters and bring you the latest here on Facebook and in the RedZone Weather app over the next few days.

MUCH COOLER ON SUNDAY… High temperatures will only be in the upper-60s on Sunday after the passage of the cold front. Stratifrom rain/showers may linger into the evening hours of Sunday and into Monday morning. Rain will likely move out on Monday afternoon/evening.

JOIN ME ON TELEVISION TONIGHT… It’s a special “one night deal.” If you’re in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, or anywhere in the Birmingham, AL television market, I hope you’ll join me tonight on WVUA23 News at 5, 6, and 10PM. Meteorologist Richard Scott is off today and I’m honored to provide some much-needed relief to the WVUA Weather Team. Don’t worry – I’m not going anywhere as RedZone Weather is (and will be for a LONG time!) home. It is nice to have the opportunity to “keep my feet wet” in the TV world, however. Hope you’ll join us tonight.

SUNSHINE RETURNS LATER TODAY… Clouds are hanging tough this morning in most spots across south Alabama and northwest Florida but most spots will be sunny by the end of the day. High temperatures fall back into the upper-60s today since a cold front crossed the region last evening. Several more sunny days are ahead before our next rain chance this weekend. Here are your weather headlines on this Tuesday…

CHILLY NIGHTS AHEAD… Overnight lows will drop into the mid-40s by 6AM Wednesday, but clearly our coldest nights of the next 7 days happen on Thursday and Friday mornings when northern spots in our area may be in the upper-30s. Clear skies are expected each night, allowing much of the built-up daytime heat to go away.

SUNNY DAYS THROUGH FRIDAY… Wednesday and Thursday are slated to be sunny and nice with increasing temperatures. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid-70s with upper-70s likely for Thursday.

RAIN RETURNS THIS WEEKEND… Our next cold front will likely move through late Saturday or early Sunday. That timeframe is when you can expect showers and thunderstorms to return to our region. It’s too early to know whether severe weather issues can be expected. We’ll keep you posted about that in the RedZone Weather app over the next few days.

RAIN EXITS TO THE EAST… Lingering rain showers continue across parts of Walton, Holmes, and Jackson counties in the Florida Panhandle. There still are some embedded thunderstorms but we note that this complex of rain and storms continues to weaken.

The severe weather risk has ended for south Alabama and northwest Florida.

My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15 on Tuesday. See you then!
