RAIN & STORMS MOVE OUT LATER TODAY; DRIER DAYS AHEAD… Rain and occasional thunderstorms will continue to be possible on this Wednesday, primarily this morning into the early afternoon hours. There is an ongoing, low-end severe weather risk for communities close to the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches, mainly due to a low-end risk of a few thunderstorms ramping up and producing large hail and gusty winds. The overall tornado risk at this point is very low across the entire region. Rain chances will decrease this afternoon into this evening as we trend toward drier conditions on Thursday. High temperatures on this Wednesday will be in the upper-70s and near 80 in most spots. More forecast details are below.
