RAIN & STORMS LIKELY ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT… Most of the daytime hours on this Wednesday will be dry ahead of a widespread rain and storm event tonight. A developing mesoscale convective system (MCS) will move into southwest Alabama from Mississippi this evening after 6PM. This feature will gradually spread eastward across south Alabama and northwest Florida tonight, bringing with it quite a bit of beneficial rain. In addition, a few strong to severe thunderstorms aren’t completely out of the question. The Storm Prediction Center continues to include all of our local area in their low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk zone. Gusty winds and hail will be the main hazard concerns. The tornado risk remains quite low, but not entirely zero. I will have updates posted throughout the evening in the RedZone Weather app.

LOW-END SEVERE WEATHER RISK TONIGHT… All of us across south Alabama and northwest Florida are involved in the low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid this evening into tonight. When a Level 1 (out of 5) risk is in place, it means that widespread, significant severe storms are unlikely. A few, brief strong to severe storms are possible, however. Gusty winds capable of knocking down a few trees will be the main concern in the storms that happen this evening into tonight. Large hail up to quarter size will also be possible in the strongest of the storms. The overall tornado risk remains quite low, but not zero. This means a brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out. We encourage everyone to have multiple ways to hear urgent weather warnings this evening into tonight.

FEW SHOWERS AT TIMES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY… Isolated showers will continue to be possible tomorrow morning, long after the main shield of rain exits to our east. Spotty showers will be possible throughout the day tomorrow and again on Friday, however, I expect MOST communities to remain dry tomorrow and Friday during the daytime hours. High temperatures will be around the 80 degree mark on Thursday and in the mid 70s on Friday.

MORE RAIN AT TIMES ON SATURDAY… Another round of rain and thunderstorms will be possible Friday night into Saturday. This will be yet another beneficial rain event for the local area. While a few thunderstorms seem likely, widespread severe weather (at this point) seems unlikely. This is something that will need to be monitored over the next few days. Let’s get through the storms tonight and then we can start focusing on Saturday.

DRIER WEATHER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY… Mostly sunny skies are likely Sunday into Monday of the upcoming week. Temperatures will be quite pleasant with highs in the 70s on Sunday. Overnight lows will dip into the 40s and low 50s on Sunday night into Monday morning. High temperatures will be closer to the 80 degree mark on Monday.

APP… If you haven’t already downloaded the RedZone Weather app, now is a great time to do that. redzoneweather.com/app is the link to the free download. Once you have the RZW app installed on your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to turn on the specific notifications you’d like to receive. All notifications are handcrafted by me. No automation and we promise not to bug you!

See all the details in your Wednesday RedZone Weather forecast video. My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. I will have updates posted throughout the day, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.

Have a good Wednesday!
