STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY EVENING INTO EARLY FRIDAY; LOW-END RISK… Clouds will be on the increase today ahead of showers & storms returning to our area late Thursday evening into Friday morning. The Storm Prediction Center continues to include part of southwest Alabama and northwest Florida in their low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) marginal severe weather risk zone. This means that an isolated strong to severe storm may happen, but widespread severe weather remains unlikely.

INCREASING CLOUDINESS TODAY… Temperatures will again peak in the mid-80s later today as cloud coverage continues to increase. No rain is expected today. Clouds will continue to stream in from the southwest overnight. Low temperatures by Thursday morning will be around the 60 degree mark.

DRY THURSDAY MORNING; RAIN POSSIBLE IN AFTERNOON… No rain issues are expected Thursday morning. Rain chances spike slightly for the afternoon and early evening hours. There could be a few scattered showers & storms that bubble up after 2PM. Most spots should remain dry until after 6PM, however. The evening hours are when I expect most of the rain to happen. That is also when we have a low-end severe weather risk in place (see below)…

LEVEL 1 RISK TOMORROW NIGHT… The last two rounds of severe weather were likely far more potent than the system slated to move by Thursday evening into Friday morning. The Storm Prediction Center includes a big chunk of southwest Alabama and northwest Florida in their Level 1 (out of 5), low-end, marginal severe weather risk zone. The more unstable air will be in place across southeast Mississippi and eastern Louisiana on Thursday afternoon/evening, where a Level 2 risk zone is in place. Vast majority of us in the local area should have no severe weather issues but instead just a few showers and general (non-severe) thunderstorms.

LINGERING SHOWERS FRIDAY… Most spots begin to dry out late Friday morning. There could be a few isolated lingering rain showers into the late morning and early afternoon hours. Any thunderstorms should be long gone to our east by then, however.

GORGEOUS, SUNNY WEEKEND AHEAD… 100% sunshine is likely for Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s, making this our warmest weekend of 2019 yet. It’s a sign of things to come during the upcoming week when some spots across our region could make a run at the 90 degree mark!

NICE, WARM UPCOMING WEEK… Early model indications point to a warm, sunny week ahead. High temperatures may surge to around 90° by Wednesday of the upcoming week. Overnight lows will be in the low-60s. There are no signs of rain Saturday through Wednesday, as of now.

APP… I’ll have plenty of updates in the RedZone Weather app today and tomorrow about the upcoming low-end severe weather risk late Thursday into Friday. redzoneweather.com/app is the link for the free download. Once you have the app downloaded to your iOS or Android device, be sure to go into the Alerts tab (lower right corner) and toggle ON the customized alerts you’d like to receive straight from me.

See all the details, including a graphical look at the next 7 days, in your Wednesday #rzw forecast video… Have a great day!
