FEW STORMS AROUND TODAY; HEAT WARNINGS & ADVISORIES OVER NEXT FEW DAYS… Pop-up thunderstorms will be possible on this Wednesday across south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will be in the mid-90s today with heat index values in the 100s. Tomorrow, we’re looking at what will likely be one of the hottest days of the year. Heat index values could easily be in the 115-120° range. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories will be in effect on Thursday for much of, if not all of, the local area. Extreme heat will continue to be an issue into Friday and Saturday ahead of some reprieve (although not much) on Sunday.

A FEW STRONGER STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS WEST ALABAMA… The Storm Prediction Center has included parts of west Alabama in their low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk zone valid for today. This risk zone has been introduced as some of the thunderstorms may ramp up and produce gusty winds at times today into this evening. Widespread severe storms are not expected and the overall tornado risk remains quite low.

WEEKEND PREVIEW… P.M. pop-up thunderstorms will continue to be possible into the weekend with high temperatures near the 100° mark on Saturday. High temperatures will be in the upper-90s on Sunday. Heat index values will be in the 100-110° range each day.

TROPICS QUIET, FOR NOW… The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea remain quiet with no new tropical storms expected to develop over the next several days. The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy continue to move north over the western Atlantic Ocean. This system will bring rain and gusty winds to parts of Bermuda over the next 2 days. The remnants of Cindy may redevelop into a tropical storm over the northern Atlantic Ocean. Direct U.S. impacts are not expected, regardless of if the system becomes a named storm again.

While the overall tornado risk remains near zero today, these storms will be capable of producing loud thunder, lightning, and pockets of very heavy rain.

More storms are likely to pop up over the next several hours.

VERY HOT TEMPS OVER NEXT FEW DAYS; EXCESSIVE HEAT ALERTS; P.M. STORMS… We are kicking off what will be a 4-5 day streak of the hottest temperatures so far in 2023. High temperatures on this Tuesday will be in the mid- to upper-90s. Factor in the humidity and you get a heat index value of 108-110° this afternoon. While our region typically has hot temperatures in the summer, this is what will be classified as a heat wave. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon into this evening. Not everyone will have rain before the end of the day but some communities inevitably will. Cloud-to-ground lightning will be likely in the storms this afternoon. Fortunately, there is no formal risk of severe storms today.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING NEAR COAST; HEAT ADVISORY INLAND… An uncommon Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for coastal zones on this Tuesday. This uncommon product is issued due to the potential for 115° heat index values. A Heat Advisory is in effect for many more communities farther inland today due to heat index values as high as 110° this afternoon into the early evening hours. I expect more heat advisories and heat warnings to be required over the next several days.

TROPICAL UPDATE… The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are quiet with no new tropical storms expected to develop over the next 5 days. The remnant low pressure area associated with what was Tropical Storm Cindy is moving north in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center indicates there is a 30% chance of the system strengthening back to tropical storm status over the North Atlantic Ocean in a few days. Direct U.S. impacts are not expected at this time.

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.
