Some showers. Some storms. Nothing severe.
A classic late August Saturday across the Deep South. ⛈ pic.twitter.com/BtyxmxeV4S

15 years ago on this evening, August 28, 2005, we were all bracing for the expected devastating impacts from what was Category 5 #HurricaneKatrina in the north central Gulf of Mexico. Images of satellite and the forecast are included. #Katrina15 #lawx #mswx pic.twitter.com/ckxOu8gwWa

SCATTERED STORMS TODAY… Pop-up thunderstorms will develop this afternoon into this evening across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Rain chances today are firmly in the 60-70% range across the region. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s. Looking ahead, we have more of the same with P.M. storms, heat, and humidity.
TROPICAL UPDATE… The two tropical waves we’re tracking in the central Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Lesser Antilles continue to intermittently show signs of organization with flare-ups of thunderstorms. The National Hurricane Center suggests the “front” tropical wave that will likely cross the Antilles into the Caribbean Sea sometime over the next 2-4 days has a 30% chance of becoming a tropical storm. The tropical wave located closer to Africa now has a 40% chance of development. We note the Gulf of Mexico remains quiet today.
I will have radar updates posted as needed today in the RedZone Weather app. Have a great Saturday!
