HOT DAYS AHEAD… Slightly increased rain chances are coming up this weekend into early next week. High temperatures will be in the 90s over the next several days with heat index values in excess of 100°.
MORE HEAT & HUMIDITY THIS WEEKEND; SLIGHTLY INCREASED RAIN CHANCES COMING… Today will be similar to the last few days with a fairly limited chance of showers and thunderstorms. The vast majority of us across south Alabama and northwest Florida will remain dry today. A few thunderstorms may form in the heat of the day, specifically between 2PM and 7PM. High temperatures will be in the mid-90s today. The next several days will be increasingly hot and humid. Heat index values will reach into the 105-110° range on Saturday and Sunday. More P.M. storms, especially compared to the last few days, are expected into the weekend.
TROPICAL WAVE IN CENTRAL ATLANTIC MOVING WEST… A tropical wave located a few hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to move west across the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center indicates this tropical wave has a 20-30% chance of becoming a tropical storm in 4-5 days as it approaches the northern Leeward Islands. It remains well too early to know if this system will ever directly affect the continental United States. Certainly nothing to worry about for now, just something to keep an eye on over the next week. The Gulf of Mexico remains quiet, thankfully.

Have a great Thursday!

Headline is still up:
"Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests"
Of course, that's completely false. It would take 30 seconds to edit the online news site, but they won't do it. Why not? Because the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario better fits the Guardian's… pic.twitter.com/so1iZe5wjO

40% chance of a tropical storm forming in the west-central Atlantic Ocean near or just northwest of the Lesser Antilles in 4-6 days… Chances continue to rise.
For now, way too early to know if this will ever be a direct concern for the USA. pic.twitter.com/eD1FZYwxEb

Another night of dry and clear conditions can be expected tonight across the Northern Gulf Coast. Lows will only dip into the lower to middle 70s inland with upper 70s at the beaches. pic.twitter.com/hRx1wEzgBH

The Gulf of Mexico is quiet with no tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days. One tropical wave, currently in the eastern Atlantic, has a low-end chance of becoming a tropical storm in a few days. pic.twitter.com/4Iammog7fW

Good clickbait for many in the weather enterprise, however. Make no mistake about that. Ryan is 100% correct in using the word “misinformation.” https://t.co/vPl6719rrO

SLIGHTLY HIGHER RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND… Rain chances will rise as we get into the upcoming weekend. Won’t be an all day washout on any of the next 7 days but there will be scattered storms around.
PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY; FEW P.M. STORMS… Cumulus clouds will dot the sky this afternoon across the region as high temperatures soar into the mid-90s. Heat index values will be in the upper-90s this afternoon. A few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible today, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. Widespread severe weather is not expected today but some of the thunderstorms will be capable of producing loud thunder, cloud-to-ground lightning, and heavy rain. Rain chances are slated to increase somewhat as we get into the weekend.
TROPICS: TROPICAL WAVE IN EASTERN CARIBBEAN… Showers and thunderstorms continue to intermittently happen across the eastern Caribbean Sea and the Leeward Islands as a tropical wave continues to move westward. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) notes there is a very low chance (10%) of this system developing into a named tropical storm over the next few days.
TROPICS: AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IN S.W. ATLANTIC… An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms is happening several hundred miles southwest of Bermuda in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. This system will move toward the north Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina coast over the next few days. For now, development probabilities remain low, meaning there is a 10% chance of this system forming into a named tropical storm over the next few days.
TROPICS: TROPICAL WAVE IN EASTERN ATLANTIC… From NHC: “A tropical wave is located south of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some development of this system is possible later this week and into the weekend while it moves westward to west-northwestward over the tropical Atlantic.”
TROPICS: GULF OF MEXICO QUIET… The Gulf of Mexico remains quiet with no new tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days.
