Level 4 (out of 5) severe weather risk over the next few hours for parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Tornado watches are in effect from Oklahoma to Wisconsin.
No severe weather issues today for Alabama or Florida. https://t.co/ZzNCRP2TJg

This is, quite frankly, the best map I have seen in quite some time. ABOVE AVERAGE rain chances coming 8-14 days from now. This would be wonderful IF it verifies.
Hard to trust anything beyond 7-10 days out, but the pattern certainly seems likely to flip toward a wetter one. https://t.co/YPTNsph93k

Rain amounts on Sunday will probably not stack up to very much at all, unfortunately, across much of Alabama and northwest Florida. https://t.co/F4aL6zV81a

Isolated rain showers will be possible Sunday, mainly in the morning hours. Unfortunately, this won’t be a significant rain event for much of the area. Slightly cooler air arrives on Sunday after the passage of a cold front. https://t.co/ZUR1pE7ylj

QUITE WARM TODAY; A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE SUNDAY… We *finally* have a rain chance, albeit a low-end rain chance, setting up for south Alabama and northwest Florida. The potential for rain will exist on Sunday, primarily in the morning hours. Unfortunately, not every community https://t.co/6LGWbcpBt4

Today will probably be the warmest day of 2026 yet in many spots with highs in the upper 80s. Some communities may briefly hit the 90 degree mark.
DENSE FOG is a problem again this morning in many communities across the region. Take it slow! https://t.co/fgap3gexEn

RT @NWSMobile: Another round of patchy dense fog will develop late tonight with lows in the low to mid 60s. https://t.co/p0JrRefj5R
