POP-UP P.M. STORMS THIS WEEK… P.M. thunderstorms are likely in each of the next 7 days. We get a bit of heat relief toward the end of the week. Won’t be cool/cold by any stretch, but cooler temps nonetheless!
SCATTERED STORMS TODAY; P.M. STORMS & EVER SO SLIGHTLY COOLER LATER THIS WEEK… Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop this afternoon into this evening across south Alabama and northwest Florida as our local area remains in a very moist, hot air mass. High temperatures will be in the mid-90s with heat index values in the 105-110° range in many spots this afternoon. The forecast will essentially be on repeat over the next several days but we do have temperatures that will be a touch (and I mean truly ever so slightly!) cooler later this week. Instead of highs in the 90s, temperatures will peak in the upper-80s most likely on Friday and Saturday. Rain chances will also be higher later this week.
TROPICAL UPDATE… Good news to report this week in the tropics in that no tropical storms are expected to develop in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, or the Atlantic Ocean. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) continues to help inhibit production of any tropical storms out in the Atlantic. This dry, dusty, hot layer of air won’t last forever, but for now, it helps to prevent tropical storms from becoming organized. Hurricane season peaks, climatologically speaking, on September 11 each year.
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 settings toggle button to customize the alerts you’d like to receive from me. If you like a lot of info, be sure to toggle ON Low-Level Alerts.
See all the details in your Monday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. Have a great start to your week!
P.M. STORMS TODAY AND THIS WEEK… Scattered thunderstorms will be more numerous across the region this afternoon into this evening. Increased rain chances are likely each day in the P.M. hours this week!
Have a nice Monday.
ISOLATED STORMS AT TIMES TODAY… Today will be comparable to yesterday in terms of the coverage of pop-up showers and storms most likely. That means that some communities will NOT have rain today, but some will. High temperatures will again be in the mid-90s.
Hot temperatures are expected this week in much of the eastern half of the country. Major to Extreme HeatRisk is possible. See our latest Key Messages and https://t.co/4I3Z6DNd1w for more information. Find your local forecast at https://t.co/pGx1JRZLBI. pic.twitter.com/uQDzp2Kxbr

HEAT ADVISORY MONDAY; HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 110-115° EXPECTED… Tomorrow (Monday) will be even hotter and even more humid than previous days with heat index values likely to be in the 110-115° range in some communities. A Heat Advisory will be necessary across much of the region. Take it easy tomorrow if you’re going to be outside for a long while. The good news is we probably will have scattered thunderstorms around in the P.M. hours to cool things off, albeit briefly in most cases.
I will have a detailed look at your extended forecast in the next regularly scheduled forecast video that will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. Join me then for the latest information. Have a nice Sunday evening!
