PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY; STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE THU. NIGHT INTO FRIDAY… Nice, warm weather is in store for us across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s and low-90s across the region. Partly cloudy skies are likely throughout the day with low (not zero) rain chances. Any showers that flare up will be brief, short-lived, and highly isolated in nature, just like what happened over the last few days. Our focus is increasingly on Thursday evening into Friday morning when our next chance of active weather arrives. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible tomorrow night into Friday morning.

WARM CONDITIONS TODAY AND TOMORROW… Dry conditions are expected for much of the day on this Wednesday. Just like the last several days, I cannot completely rule out a few highly isolated showers but MOST locales will remain dry across the region. Tomorrow, rain chances will steadily increase throughout the day with scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming possible in the afternoon and evening hours. The severe weather risk will ramp up long after sunset, perhaps even after midnight in most locations across the region.

SEVERE WEATHER TIMING – THU. INTO FRIDAY MORNING… The 12 hour window for strong to severe thunderstorms across south Alabama and northwest Florida is from 6PM Thursday to 6AM Friday. I will likely be able to make further refinements to this timeframe as more data comes in today and tomorrow, so please check back in for updates over the next day or so.

MAIN HAZARDS TOMORROW NIGHT INTO FRIDAY: GUSTY WINDS & HAIL… Thunderstorms are expected to develop in advance of a cold front pushing through our local area on Friday that will pave the way for cooler temperatures this weekend. Right now, gusty winds and large hail appear to be the main hazard concerns Thursday evening into Friday morning. The overall tornado risk remains low, but not zero!

NICE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND… The severe weather setup Thursday evening into Friday morning is in response to a cold front pushing into our region from the northwest. This cold front is set to bring cooler temperatures for the weekend. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper-70s and near 80 with morning lows in the upper-50s on Saturday morning. High temperatures on Sunday will be in the low-80s.

RAIN AT TIMES NEXT WEEK… Our weather pattern next week looks increasingly unsettled with multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms being possible. Tuesday, in particular, looks wet with scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming possible. I will have more details on rain and storms becoming likely next week after we get through this first round of storms Thursday into Friday.

STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY EVENING INTO FRIDAY MORNING… Scattered, rowdy thunderstorms will become possible on Thursday night into early Friday morning as a cold front approaches south Alabama and northwest Florida from the northwest. Damaging wind gusts and large hail will likely be the hazards of main concern. The overall tornado risk will probably remain LOW, but perhaps not entirely zero. For now, the Storm Prediction Center includes our local area in their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk, meaning scattered severe storms will be possible.

WARM & FEW SHOWERS TODAY; STRONG STORMS THU. INTO FRIDAY… Isolated showers will be possible again on this Tuesday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s and near the 90 degree mark this afternoon. Active weather is on the way for the latter part of the week, specifically on Thursday evening into Friday when strong to severe storms may become possible parts of our local area.

SEVERE WEATHER ISSUES WELL TO OUR NORTH TODAY… After yesterday’s Level 5 (out of 5) high risk of severe storms verified across parts of Oklahoma and Kansas with multiple tornadoes and very large hail, the severe weather risk today has shifted farther north and east. The Storm Prediction Center includes Columbus (OH), Dayton (OH), and Fort Wayne (IN) in a Level 3 (out of 5) severe weather risk zone today. Surrounding that risk, a Level 2 risk also includes much of Kentucky and northern Tennessee. The lower-end, Level 1 (out of 5) risk is in place for much of the northern half of Alabama and Mississippi today. Any rain and thunderstorms should remain quite spotty across our local area, however.

HIGHS NEAR 90° OVER NEXT FEW DAYS… Warm conditions are set to continue today, tomorrow, and on Thursday with high temperatures expected to be near the 90 degree mark each afternoon. Overnight lows are slated to be in the upper-60s and near 70.

STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY P.M. INTO FRIDAY; RAIN CHANCES HIGHEST INLAND… Rain and thunderstorms become likely, particularly across inland areas, on Thursday evening into Friday. There is a chance some of these storms become strong or even severe. The overall tornado risk will probably end up being a bit less than the overall risk for damaging wind gusts and hail. This is a developing situation that we will need to monitor carefully as the latter part of the week approaches. Be sure to join me for updates in the RedZone Weather app.

BRIEF COOLDOWN THIS WEEKEND… This will, perhaps, be the last cooldown of the season with slightly cooler air taking hold of our local weather pattern on Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures on Saturday will drop into the upper-70s with morning lows likely to be in the 50s.
