SUNNY, NICE THURSDAY; FEW SHOWERS & STORMS AROUND THIS WEEKEND… Nice, sunny conditions will continue on this Thursday with high temperatures in the mid-80s across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Showers and thunderstorms will become possible on Friday into Saturday ahead of higher rain chances setting up for Sunday. Fortunately, severe weather is not expected through the next 7 days. A few more Thursday morning forecast notes are below.
FEW SHOWERS & STORMS JUST TO OUR EAST THIS AFTERNOON… Most locales across southwest Alabama and northwest Florida will remain completely dry on this Thursday. Rain chances are not zero today, however, across parts of Covington and Okaloosa counties. Showers and storms may develop this afternoon into the evening hours across parts of the Florida Panhandle region and southeast Alabama. This moisture may cause a few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two this afternoon in parts of Covington and Okaloosa counties. I will have radar updates posted throughout the day in the RedZone Weather app.
FEW STORMS AROUND THIS WEEKEND… Showers and storms will be possible on Saturday and likely at times on Sunday. Widespread severe weather is not expected, although some of the storms on Sunday may produced localized areas of heavy rain, gusty winds, and cloud-to-ground lightning.
APP… If you haven’t already, be sure to download the free RedZone Weather app to keep up with all the latest information on the world of weather in south Alabama and northwest Florida. redzoneweather.com/app is the link for the free download.

The tornadoes of 4/27/2011 on radar are still in a class of their own. Unreal. https://t.co/1ambTs4Qww

*4/27/11 – 5:10 PM*
The large and destructive tornado was ripping a path directly through the heart of Tuscaloosa County.
The Tuscaloosa EMA was in the path of the tornado and would sustain a direct hit.
Less than an hour later, JeffCo would be impacted.#April27th2011 pic.twitter.com/brQHMGoxL9
