HOT MONDAY; P.M. STORMS RETURN STARTING TUESDAY… Heat and humidity are the weather headlines across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Monday. Afternoon high temperatures will climb to the 94-97° range in many communities with heat index values as high as 108° being possible this afternoon. Rain chances remain low today (not zero, but quite low) ahead of higher rain chances set to happen tomorrow into Wednesday. Spotty thunderstorms will be possible in the days ahead, mostly in the afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will continue to be in the 90s each day this week, including into the upcoming Independence Day holiday on Saturday.
P.M. POP-UP STORMS LIKELY TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY… Scattered thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage across the region on Tuesday as a ridge of high pressure that has been in control of our weather pattern over the last couple of days begins to shift away. Most of the thunderstorms that pop up tomorrow are expected to be below severe limits, however, a few strong to severe thunderstorms can’t completely be ruled out. Any thunderstorms that become severe will be capable of producing gusty winds. The overall tornado risk in the days ahead remains very, very low.
HEAT AND HUMIDITY PERSIST INTO THE 4TH OF JULY… Independence Day on Saturday will be hot and humid with a chance of rain and storms in the afternoon and evening hours. That is pretty much exactly what you would expect, climatologically speaking, for early July. High temperatures on Saturday will be in the low to mid 90s.
TROPICS: DISTURBANCE IN SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC… An area of low pressure developing in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean will gradually move toward the Georgia and South Carolina coast today, tomorrow, and into Wednesday. This feature could briefly become a named tropical storm before landfall. No significant impacts are expected in Alabama or northwest Florida due to this system, regardless of if formal development happens.
TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN QUIET, FOR NOW… Other than the disturbance approaching the Georgia coast in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean discussed above, the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea remain quiet with no new tropical storms expected to develop this week. The main development region of the Atlantic Ocean between the Lesser Antilles and the west coast of Africa also remains quiet. The climatological peak of hurricane season happens in mid-September. The 2026 hurricane season will end on November 30.
