HERE COMES THE RAIN… Tuesday through Thursday are slated to be intermittently wet with rain and storms in place across south Alabama and northwest Florida. While there is a high chance none of the days will be an “all day washout,” there’s very little doubt that scattered showers and storms will be in place at times across the region. A few questions today about the severe weather risk over the next few days… It’s low, but it’s not zero. The greatest risk of strong to severe storms will come on Thursday when a squall line moves through from west to east across the region.

Attached is the HRRR model projected radar valid for 9AM tomorrow morning. Keep that rain gear handy! We’ll have radar updates as needed in the RedZone Weather app.

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

NICE MONDAY; SHOWERS & STORMS TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY… Clouds will progressively increase in number today across south Alabama and northwest Florida ahead of significant rain chances upcoming for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. There is a low-end chance of a few stronger storms near the immediate coast on Tuesday. We also are looking ahead to a much cooler, drier weekend when high temperatures will be in the 60s. Let’s look at your forecast details.

LOW-END RISK OF A FEW STRONG STORMS NEAR COAST TUESDAY… Tuesday will be wet across the region. I expect most spots to pick up at least half an inch of rain Tuesday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the region throughout the day. The greater chance of thunderstorms will happen closer to the immediate coast where instability values will be greater compared to inland areas. There is a very low risk of isolated strong storms at the immediate beaches. I don’t expect any severe weather issues inland on Tuesday, however.

MORE RAIN POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY… Showers will again be possible Wednesday morning with a few thunderstorms becoming possible Wednesday afternoon. Not everyone will have rain on Wednesday, but no doubt that some will. We’ll call it a 60-70% chance of storms during the daytime hours.

STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY… There is a chance we could have a few strong to potentially severe thunderstorms move by on Thursday, probably in the late morning or early afternoon hours. The main risk, as of now, appears to be a squall line capable of producing gusty winds and potentially a few brief, spin-up tornadoes. We’ll fine tune the details in the days ahead. Please check back with me later this week for the very latest.

NICE, COOL WEEKEND UPCOMING… After the passage of the cold front late on Thursday, rain will clear out by Thursday evening. Cooler, drier, stable air will filter in from the northwest, setting the stage for a gorgeous, sunny weekend across our region. High temperatures on Friday will peak in the mid- to upper-60s with overnight lows on Saturday morning likely to be in the mid-40s. Calm weather conditions are expected Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

NICE SUNDAY; RAIN & STORMS RETURN TUESDAY… Mostly sunny skies are set to continue into the evening hours on this Sunday as high temperatures peak in the mid-70s. Monday will be nice before rain and thunderstorms return for the middle part of the week. Rain chances are going up because of an advancing cold front that will cross our area on Thursday, ushering in much cooler air from the north. High temperatures this weekend will be in the 60s with lows in the 40s! The clash of the warm and cold air may set up a few strong storms on Thursday. Let’s look at your forecast details.

OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR 50° MONDAY MORNING… Temperatures will peak around 75° at 3PM today before falling into the mid-60s by 8PM. We’re headed to an overnight low in the 50-52° range at 6AM on Monday. Mostly clear skies are expected overnight.

MOSTLY SUNNY MONDAY… High temperatures will surge into the upper-70s and near 80° on Monday. I expect skies to be mostly sunny in the morning hours before cloud coverage starts to increase in the afternoon hours. Rain chances will remain low, and any showers and storms that do form will happen near the immediate beaches.

LOW RAIN CHANCE MONDAY NIGHT… Isolated showers and thunderstorms may form over the northern Gulf of Mexico on Monday night and drift toward the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. Severe weather is not expected on Monday evening, but there could be cloud-to-ground lightning in the stronger storms that develop.

RAIN RETURNS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY… Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected on both Tuesday and Wednesday. For now, the risk of severe weather remains low. Rain amounts will generally be in the 1 to 2 inch range in total through Thursday, meaning widespread flash flooding issues are not expected.

COOLER WEEKEND AHEAD… After the passage of the cold front on Thursday evening, temperatures will decline pretty substantially for Friday and Saturday. High temperatures will be in the 60s with morning lows in the 40s this weekend. Sunny skies are tentatively expected for Saturday and Sunday!
