SCATTERED STORMS AROUND TODAY; DRY WEEKEND UPCOMING… Splash and dash showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon into this evening across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Unfortunately, despite ongoing severe drought conditions in many communities across the region, not every locale will have rain before the end of the day. High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-80s today.
TROPICAL STORM PHILIPPE STRUGGLING… Tropical Storm Philippe is a highly sheared storm with much of the deep convection removed from the center of circulation this morning. Philippe is located about 800 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands in the open waters of the central Atlantic Ocean. Philippe is forecast to continue to move westward before dissipating in a few days north of the Leeward Islands. This means Philippe is no threat to land at this point.
HIGH CHANCE OF TROPICAL STORM FORMING IN CENTRAL ATLANTIC… Environmental conditions are supportive of another, separate tropical storm forming to the east of Tropical Storm Philippe over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This system will likely turn northward and probably never come close to directly affecting North America. It is too early to say that conclusively but early model trends point in that direction. Good news!
