A few showers and thunderstorms will happen later this morning and into the afternoon hours. High temperatures will again be in the low-90s. Higher rain chances Thursday and Friday! ⛈ pic.twitter.com/0oACNeGldn

TROPICS TO REMAIN QUIET FOR FORESEEABLE FUTURE… While far from over, the first two months of hurricane season have been cooperative with only 3 named storms so far. The good news is I see no signs of any tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, or the Atlantic Ocean in the next 5-7 days. Hopefully our long, quiet streak in the tropics will continue! August, September, and October are historically our most active hurricane season months.
Locally, more pop-up storms are ahead tomorrow afternoon and evening. High temperatures will be in the 90s on Wednesday with heat index values in the low-100s. I will have your next detailed RedZone Weather forecast video posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. Have a nice Tuesday evening!
While the first two months of hurricane season have been fairly quiet, climatologically speaking, the most active months are ahead. Let's take the good news while we can, though! ?Details here: https://t.co/kVY87CICTf pic.twitter.com/LFaGrTKJYb

Heat indices will be on the rise across the area Wednesday afternoon. Most areas will at least see heat index values of 100-105, but some locations could reach as high as 105-107, especially across southeast MS, southwest AL, and portions of the western FL Panhandle. pic.twitter.com/FCyHM3UFCQ

The tropics remain absolutely dead in the Atlantic basin. There are no signs of development over the next 5 to 7 days. But……. The Gulf is reporting water temps of 86 to 90. We’ll be watching trends. If something pops up, I’ll update you. #alwx @wvua23 pic.twitter.com/ylv35lzV4G

As much money as the Fed spends on medical research, it’s past time to figure out how to fix the near 100% death rate of Naegleria fowleri. Extremely rare. Extremely deadly.https://t.co/6L8VbPqR1W #NaegleriaFowleri

114pm: Best chance of isolated to scattered showers and storms through the rest of the afternoon will be across inland locations. Lower chances south of I-10. Storms will quickly fade by early evening. pic.twitter.com/HjbqxRrhTH

Scattered thunderstorms continue to pop up and fade away across Alabama, northwest Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana this afternoon… pic.twitter.com/MFrTfASvn0

Boy… did anyone think the end of July into the front half of August would look this quiet in terms of no hurricanes over the Atlantic? pic.twitter.com/PDCArU8aLv

Storms have popped up near Brewton, Evergreen, Spanish Fort, Bromley, and Gantt. More storms are likely to develop in the coming hours across the region. ⛈ pic.twitter.com/VdOhHo0ejG

MORE POP-UP STORMS TODAY; TROPICS REMAIN QUIET… Scattered thunderstorms will again be possible across south Alabama and northwest Florida this afternoon into this evening. Not every community will have rain before the end of the day, but some inevitably will. There is no formal risk of severe weather anywhere close by, but some of the thunderstorms may be strong at times. High temperatures will be in the low-90s today with heat index values closer to the 100 degree mark this evening. Over the next several days, I see no reason to modify our local forecast in any significant way. Scattered pop-up thunderstorms will continue to be the norm, mainly in the afternoon and evening hours each day.
TROPICS ARE QUIET, FOR NOW… It seems almost unusual (it is not, climatologically speaking!) that we have had barely any tropical activity over the last two months. We certainly have had enough in the way of tropical storms and hurricanes over the last few years. Even though this break from the action at the beginning of the season may end up being short-lived (hopefully not!), it has been nice while it lasted. No tropical storms or hurricanes are expected to form across the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, over the next 5 days.

Any reports of lights in the sky a few minutes ago?@rzweather
Eastern sky, maybe going north/northeast?— 1775 or 1860? (@ScobieSr) July 26, 2022
Widely scattered showers/storms continue to slowly meander across the area producing occasional lightning and heavy downpours. Coverage will decrease over the next couple of hours. #alwx pic.twitter.com/Eq0Bz5eIdF

Maybe someday in the future meteorology will evolve to the point of predicting the precise number and place of these pop-up storms, but we are far far away from that right now.
In the meantime, we need to use descriptor words like few / scattered / numerous to help message.

Showers and thunderstorms continue to develop this evening across the region. As of 3:12PM, storms are firing up near Evergreen, Thomasville, Munson, and Burnt Corn. pic.twitter.com/YeUyJoMSg9

SCATTERED STORMS POPPING UP… Thunderstorms continue to rapidly pop up this afternoon across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Downpours will continue to be likely over the next several hours.
Downpours have popped up right over the Pensacola metro this afternoon. Quite a bit of loud thunder in that particular storm.
Storms are also numerous across parts of Baldwin, Mobile, Washington, Okaloosa, and Walton counties. pic.twitter.com/PSUbsqVdSa
