FEW SHOWERS LATER TODAY… Showers are expected to develop and push across our region this afternoon into this evening as a sharp cold front moves through. Temperatures will quickly dive into the 60s and 50s after sunset.
Cooler temps are expected tomorrow with highs only in the 60s.
Overnight lows will be in the 60s tonight ahead of highs in the low-80s tomorrow. Sharply cooler air arrives tomorrow evening after a cold front pushes through. A few showers possible Wednesday P.M.

👀MYTH: You don't have to worry about #RipCurrents if you don’t see any when you enter the water
🌊FACT: Rip currents are easier to identify from an elevated point (lifeguard stand, dune line, beach access point)
🏖If unsure about conditions, ask a lifeguard

MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAIN THIS WEEKEND… A more unsettled weather pattern is coming as we get into the weekend. Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are likely from Friday through Monday.
INCREASING CLOUDINESS TODAY; SHOWERS WED. EVENING; MORE RAIN THIS WEEKEND… Cloud coverage is set to increase across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Tuesday. High temperatures will again make a run at the 80 degree mark in many communities across south Alabama and northwest Florida today. No severe weather issues are expected today or tomorrow anywhere across Alabama or northwest Florida. There is a severe weather risk today well to our north across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Our next chance of rain and thunderstorms across the local area will happen on Thursday into Friday.
NICE TUESDAY; MORE CLOUDS AROUND THIS EVENING… Mostly sunny skies this morning will transition to mostly cloudy skies by the end of the day. High temperatures will be in the 70s closer to the coast and in the low-80s farther inland today.
FEW SHOWERS AROUND TOMORROW EVENING… Isolated showers may develop on Wednesday evening as a cold front moves by our region. Showers will gradually cross our region from northwest to southeast. No severe weather issues are expected locally on Wednesday. High temperatures on Wednesday afternoon will be in the 80s. Cooler air will filter into our region Wednesday night.
DRIER THURSDAY AHEAD OF RAIN & STORMS THIS WEEKEND… Rain chances will remain quite low, but not completely zero, on Thursday. I expect the daytime hours of Thursday to be cool with high temperatures in the 60s.
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAIN & STORMS THIS WEEKEND… Rain is likely at times on Friday and Saturday. A few thunderstorms may be in the mix as well. High temperatures will rebound into the 70s by the weekend. For now, severe weather parameters remain low, although a few stronger storms may happen just offshore on Friday into Saturday. This is something I will be monitoring over the next few days.

Have a nice Tuesday!
🌊RIP CURRENTS: #1 weather-related killer at the northern Gulf Coast beaches.
👀213: That's the number of #RipCurrent fatalities from 2002-2023 at the beaches covered by @NWSTallahassee & @NWSMobile. That's more than flooding, tornado, lightning, & tropical fatalities COMBINED! pic.twitter.com/EYR3UtH32R

Other than a few bubbly, white cumulus clouds in the sky on this Monday afternoon, conditions are nice and quiet across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Temperatures are peaking near the 80 degree mark this afternoon.
Enjoy! 😎 pic.twitter.com/2sAYimhywe

🚨🌊You should avoid swimming if there is any question as to whether there is a #RipCurrent.
🏊 Keep the mantra "When in doubt, DON'T GO OUT" in mind.

RAIN & STORMS LATER THIS WEEK… Our weather pattern becomes much more unsettled later this week into the upcoming weekend with multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms being possible.
SUNNY, NICE MONDAY; RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK… High temperatures will approach or briefly hit the 80 degree mark this afternoon with mostly sunny skies likely throughout the day on this Monday. No rain is expected today or tomorrow but we are looking ahead to the latter part of the week when multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms will happen.
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER TODAY AND TUESDAY; HIGHS NEAR 80… The last time our area experienced high temperatures in the 80s was in November 2023, meaning it has been over 100 days since temperatures were as high as 80 degrees. While much of the eastern continental United States (specifically the Northeast and Midwest regions) have had one of their warmest winters ever recorded, the winter months locally have been just a bit BELOW our climatological norms. High temperatures today will put the 100+ day streak of no 80 degree days in jeopardy with most spots expected to be at or just above the 80 degree mark this afternoon. If the streak doesn’t conclude today, there is a very high chance it will tomorrow as most spots locally will be in the low-80s on Tuesday.
CLOUDS INCREASE WEDNESDAY; SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT… Cloud coverage will increase across south Alabama and northwest Florida on Wednesday ahead of a few showers becoming possible Wednesday evening into the overnight hours. No severe storms are expected Wednesday night. High temperatures during the daytime hours of Wednesday will be near the 80 degree mark. Colder air filters in behind an advancing cold front Wednesday night.
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAIN & STORMS INTO THE WEEKEND… The first half of this week will be nice and warm while the second half of the week into the upcoming weekend will be cool and rather unsettled. Multiple chances of rain and thunderstorms will happen on Friday and Saturday. There is a chance we have some strong storms around at times this weekend, but details remain a bit murky for now. This is something I will be monitoring over the next few days.

GORGEOUS WEATHER DAY… Beautiful Monday to kick off the week across south Alabama & northwest Florida! High temperatures will approach, if not briefly hit, the 80 degree mark today.
