Rain and storms will increase in coverage later tonight into Friday across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Currently watching this developing batch of storms across parts of the northern Gulf and southern Louisiana. pic.twitter.com/QEcBI8uIgr

HERE COMES THE RAIN; WET FIRST DAY OF MARCH… Rain and thunderstorms are likely tomorrow in the morning and afternoon hours. Rain may be heavy at times. The good news is widespread severe storms are NOT expected, although loud thunder at times can’t completely be ruled out. The instability will be the limiting factor with this passing system, thus the overall tornado risk remains very, very low if not zero in most spots. Expect rain at times Friday morning into the afternoon hours with a general decrease in the amount of showers and storms around in the evening hours.
UNSETTLED WEEKEND… The overall coverage of rain and thunderstorms will lessen, but not completely go away, for the weekend. Rain chances will be in the 30-40% chance range on both Saturday and Sunday with scattered storms being possible each day. Temperatures will peak in the low-70s on Saturday and Sunday.
I will have a detailed look at an increasingly unsettled forecast in the next regularly scheduled forecast video that will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow. Have a nice Thursday evening!
Here comes the rain! Get ready for quite a bit of rain on Friday morning with a few thunderstorms in the mix as well. Details here: https://t.co/NQ1JWsTnDv pic.twitter.com/HJoRUhhHkP

RAIN & STORMS AT TIMES THIS WEEKEND… Multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms will happen over the next several days. Tomorrow (Friday) in particular will be quite wet. Rain will be possible at times throughout the weekend as well.
COOL, CLOUDY LEAP DAY; RAIN & STORMS TO RETURN FRIDAY AND INTO WEEKEND… Temperatures will be about 20 degrees colder at any given point throughout the day on this Leap Day 2024 compared to yesterday. High temperatures on this Thursday will only be in the upper-50s and low-60s. Keep the jackets handy throughout the day! While a few sprinkles and a shower or two cannot completely be ruled out today, most communities will remain dry. Tomorrow is a different story, however, with rain being likely at times throughout the day. Wet, unsettled conditions will persist into the weekend as well.
RAIN & STORMS LIKELY FRIDAY… Rain will be possible throughout the day on Friday as a southwesterly flow aloft pumps a continuous stream of moisture across our region. Thunderstorms will be possible as well, although I am not expecting severe weather issues. Any tangible instability should remain fairly elevated in the atmosphere, thus limiting any significant severe storm development. High temperatures on Friday will be in the mid-60s.
RAIN CHANCES INTO THE WEEKEND… Isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible on Saturday and Sunday. Neither day is expected to have rain last all day, but we will likely have intermittent periods of rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the low-70s on Saturday and Sunday.

MOSTLY CLOUDY & MUCH COOLER TODAY… Cloudy skies will persist today across south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will only be in the 60s. Much cooler than the last few days now that a cold front has passed through our region.

RAIN PUSHING SOUTHEAST… Showers are pushing southeast this evening across southwest Alabama. Intermittent rain is pushing into Monroeville, Peterman, Beatrice, Perdue Hill, Gainestown, Alma, McIntosh, Deer Park, and Citronelle from the northwest. Breezy conditions possible as this line of showers moves through.
There is no risk of severe weather locally today.
Benign rain showers are pushing southeast into Clarke, Wilcox, Monroe, and Washington counties. No severe weather threat with this. Colder air to move into the local area this evening. π₯Ά pic.twitter.com/9G4cfiXVNQ

SHOWERS PUSHING SOUTHEAST… Showers are happening this afternoon along a cold front that continues to push southeast into our local area. Intermittent rain is likely within the next hour or so near Millry, Coffeeville, Sweet Water, Thomasville, Pine Hill, Yellow Bluff, and Thomaston in west Alabama.
Colder air is set to move into parts of southwest Alabama in the next hour or so as a band of rain & storms moves in. This band of rain is about 45 minutes out (as of 1:09PM) from places like Millry, Thomasville, Coffeeville, Sweet Water, Thomaston, Pine Hill, and Camden. pic.twitter.com/rG7HGtjDMn

Thunderstorms continue to move southeast across the northern half of Alabama this morning. These storms will push through Birmingham, Gadsden, and Tuscaloosa over the next hour or so. Gusty winds possible in the strongest of the storms. pic.twitter.com/UJ37ngRzHT

Rain and thunderstorms will push through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham around Noon. This is the same batch of showers and storms that will cross south Alabama and northwest Florida later today. Colder air arrives tonight. pic.twitter.com/TWbT8jNQCt

MULTIPLE CHANCES OF RAIN AHEAD… Rain and storms are increasingly likely as we get into Friday and Saturday. Our local weather pattern will remain unsettled into Sunday and next week as well with multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms.
FEW SHOWERS TODAY AS COLD FRONT MOVES BY; COLDER TEMPS TOMORROW… Scattered showers will be likely along a cold front that will advance across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Wednesday. Sharply cooler temperatures are likely this evening with most spots dipping into the 50s quickly after sunset. Most communities will have overnight lows in the 40s by daybreak on Thursday.
NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS TO PUSH THROUGH TODAY… I will be closely monitoring radar trends throughout the day as a narrow band of showers along a cold front is expected to push across Alabama, Mississippi, and northwest Florida today. This band of showers may produce brief downpours of heavy rain in localized areas. Behind the narrow band of showers, much cooler air will filter into our region from the northwest. The good news is severe storms are NOT expected today in our local area. I am not expecting many, if any, thunderstorms across our local area today either.
COOLER, MOSTLY DRY THURSDAY… Cloud coverage will persist across the area on Thursday with high temperatures only set to be in the low-60s. While one or two rogue showers can’t completely be ruled out, I expect most communities to remain completely dry tomorrow. Keep the jackets handy throughout the day as the northwest wind will be quite chilly.
RAIN & STORMS LIKELY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… Multiple waves of rain and thunderstorms will be possible on Friday and into the weekend. For now, severe weather parameters continue to be low but thunderstorms will be possible at times. High temperatures will surge into the 70s again this weekend.
