CLOUDS INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF SHOWERS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY… Clouds will increase in coverage today ahead of a chance of a few showers later this evening into Friday morning. Most spots across south Alabama and northwest Florida will remain dry through tonight despite mostly cloudy conditions this afternoon into this evening. High temperatures today will be quite warm for a late February day. Most spots will be in the mid- to upper-70s by 3PM. The weekend looks warm as well with highs expected to remain in the mid-70s through at least early next week. There could be a few thunderstorms locally on Monday, but for now, the overall risk of severe weather remains low. That’s the summary, below are a few more Thursday morning forecast details.
FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Rain chances remain LOW, but not quite zero this weekend. We will call it a 20% chance of showers on Saturday followed by a 30% chance of rain on Sunday. No severe weather is expected this weekend. High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-70s both on Saturday and on Sunday.
A FEW STORMS POSSIBLE MONDAY… Occasional showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be possible on Monday as a frontal boundary approaches our area from the north. Severe weather continues to seem unlikely with this event, but we certainly could hear some thunder at times on Monday. High temperatures will remain in the low- to mid-70s on Monday.
LOW RAIN CHANCES & MILD TEMPS NEXT WEEK… No significant intrusions of cold air from the north are expected over the next 7-10 days as our weather pattern continues to be in a rather “zonal flow” from the west. This means temperatures will likely remain above our climatological norms for late February and early March for the foreseeable future. We could have rain at times in the days ahead but no significant, widespread, long duration heavy rain events seem likely at this point.
