SCATTERED P.M. STORMS; MORE OF THE SAME THIS WEEK… Rain and storms will pop up this afternoon into this evening across south Alabama and northwest Florida as our summertime weather pattern continues. High temperatures today will be a bit cooler than yesterday with most spots peaking in the low- to mid-80s. We have more scattered areas of rain and pop-up storms ahead in the P.M. hours over the next few days. There is no organized risk of severe weather locally, although some of the storms may be strong and produce brief gusty winds, hail, and downpours of heavy rain.
LOW-END CHANCE OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT EAST OF FLORIDA… There is an open trough of low pressure currently situated over the Florida Peninsula south of Orlando that has a low-end (20%) chain of becoming a tropical storm or subtropical storm as it moves briefly over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean in the next few days. Formal development is not likely because of the upper-level winds being unfavorable. Regardless of if this system organizes into a named storm, heavy rain will be possible across parts of the Carolinas later this week.
