NICE TODAY; STORMS RETURNS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… We get a break today and during the daytime hours tomorrow ahead of more active weather returning Friday and into the weekend. High temperatures will consistently be in the 80s over the next several days with morning lows in the 60s.
NICE WEDNESDAY; STORMS RETURN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY… Skies will gradually become mostly sunny on this Wednesday as clouds continue to clear to the east of south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-80s today. Our next significant chance of rain and thunderstorms will happen on Friday and Saturday.
RAIN & STORMS LIKELY AT TIMES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY… Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are likely on Friday and Saturday. There is a chance for a few strong to severe storms on Friday and perhaps on Saturday as well. The Storm Prediction Center has included parts of Louisiana and southern Mississippi in their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid on Friday. We will see if there is an expansion of the risk zone into our area on Friday or Saturday. That is a possibility.
FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS INLAND FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… In addition to the possibility of a few strong to severe storms later this week and into the weekend, widespread rain totals of 1-2″ of rain are likely with isolated higher amounts. The soil across our region is now fairly saturated after multiple rounds of rain and storms over the last several days. This means that the potential exists for flash flooding across the region. Be aware of the potential for flash flooding as we go into the weekend.
APP… Many updates will be posted throughout the day in the RedZone Weather app. redzoneweather.com/app is the link for the free download. Be sure to visit the Alerts tab (bottom right corner) and tap the large, yellow “Alert Settings” button to customize the alerts you’d like to receive from me.

See all the details in your Wednesday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. Have a great day!
MAINLY SUNNY TODAY… Skies become mostly sunny on this Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s today.
Let’s enjoy this nice, quiet weather while we can! We have more rain on the way for Friday and Saturday along with a chance of a few strong storms.
âś… All clear. The low-end risk of any severe storms across south Alabama and northwest Florida simply did not materialize this afternoon. Great news!
Isolated storms may be possible across the region over the next couple of hours but severe weather is not expected.
