NEAR PERFECT WEATHER TODAY; SHOWERS POSSIBLE THURSDAY P.M. INTO FRIDAY… It does not get much better around here with full sunshine expected today with high temperatures in the mid-70s. Our weather pattern will remain quite nice today through tomorrow morning. There may be a passing cloud or two this afternoon into this evening but no rain is expected until tomorrow afternoon and evening.
MAINLY DRY ON THURSDAY; FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE… Winds have shifted and are now out of the south, allowing for warm, moist Gulf air to move inland across our region. This will pave the way for a few showers to form tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon into the evening hours. Widespread rain is not expected but I do expect a few isolated showers to be around. High temperatures on Thursday will be in the mid-70s.
RAIN POSSIBLE FRIDAY… Scattered showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be possible on Friday as an area of low pressure develops and passes to our north. We will call it a 30% chance of showers tomorrow, meaning there will be many areas that probably have no rain at all. Some locales, however, will have rain. Highs on Friday will be near 70 in most spots.
MILD WEEKEND AHEAD… This will be the warmest weekend we have had so far in the year 2021. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid-70s each day. There is a real chance some locales make a run at the upper-70s. Low (not zero!) rain chances will prevail through the weekend.
SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE MONDAY… Rain and storms will likely peak in coverage locally on Monday as a frontal boundary slides through our region. There have been some inconsistent model indications that a few strong or marginally severe storms could be possible with this system, but for now, the potential remains fairly low. This is something we will be monitoring over the next few days.
MORE MILD WEATHER NEXT WEEK… The last days of February and first few days of March continue to show signs of above average temperatures. High temperatures are expected to be in the 70s in each of the next 7-10 days with morning lows in the 50s.
APP… Be sure to download our free RedZone Weather app if you haven’t done so already. redzoneweather.com/app is the link where you can download the app for your iOS or Android device.

With a dry airmass in place across the region, low temperatures tonight will again be below normal. Look for readings ranging from 35 to 40 degrees inland area, with 40s along the immediate coast. pic.twitter.com/QBD1Nh0ZO5

SUNNY & MILD TODAY; NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN THIS WEEKEND… Get set for a gorgeous Tuesday! High temperatures will rise into the upper-60s this afternoon with some spots potentially hitting the 70 degree mark by 3PM. Full sunshine is expected throughout the day. Clear skies are likely tonight with overnight lows likely to be in the upper-30s and near 40 in many locales. We get another sunny day on Wednesday before clouds start increasing on Thursday ahead of a few showers on Friday. The weekend will feature a few showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. A few more Tuesday forecast details are below.
MAINLY SUNNY THROUGH TOMORROW… High pressure will stay in control of our weather pattern through Wednesday into Thursday, meaning our area will be sunny and dry. Temperatures will rise into the low-70s in some areas tomorrow. By Thursday, most spots will be in the low-70s. Temperatures will be running approximately 10-15 degrees ABOVE our climatological norms over the next few days. This is certainly a contrast from last week when our entire area was running well below our norms for this time of year.
RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Multiple passing weather systems will bring chances of rain to our region this weekend. There could be a few thunderstorms involved Sunday or Monday. We will need to monitor for a potential for strong to severe storms this weekend as there will be plenty of moisture and at least some surface-based instability for storms to utilize.
SEVERE WEATHER SEASON KICKS OFF MARCH 1… Most tornadoes in Alabama and northwest Florida happen in the months of March and April. It is critical that we are prepared for the potential of severe weather in the weeks ahead. Now is the time to review your severe weather preparation kit that should be in your severe weather safe place. Have a plan and know where you would go and what you would do if an imminent severe weather threat becomes possible for our local area.
APP… If you haven’t already downloaded the RedZone Weather app, now is a great time to do that. redzoneweather.com/app is the link to the free download. Once you have the RZW app installed on your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to turn on the specific notifications you’d like to receive. All notifications are handcrafted by me. No automation and we promise not to bug you!

Did you know that 10% of all the federal disaster declarations that Alabama has received since 1961 occurred in 2020? There is no better time than now to get prepared. Make a plan and build an emergency kit today. More kit ideas can be found here: https://t.co/aKWUF8aKhU pic.twitter.com/fzT4JvAx6n
