š¾ #HeatSafety Advice: Test sidewalks with your hand. Asphalt gets VERY HOT during the day, which can burn your petās paw pads. Make sure to walk your dog on the grass and keep walks to a minimum during the afternoon. If itās too hot for you, then itās too hot for your pets!š¶ pic.twitter.com/6Iwfqs4peN

LOW (NOT ZERO) RAIN CHANCES THROUGH WEEKEND… We certainly could use some rain across the region but the overall rain chances today and tomorrow remain rather low. Early next week will feature dry and warm conditions.
Rain will be possible toward the end of next week.
SHOWERS TO REMAIN HIGHLY ISOLATED TODAY AND INTO WEEKEND; WARM TEMPS… Our weather pattern will essentially be “on repeat” today, tomorrow, and on Sunday. While rain chances remain quite low for any given spot across the region, there is a low (<10%) chance of a few showers through Sunday each day. Widespread severe storms are not expected locally this weekend. Our next significant rain chance looks to happen in about one week on Friday, May 10. ONE OR TWO SHOWERS POSSIBLE EACH DAY… Today, tomorrow, and Sunday will be dry for nearly all communities across south Alabama and northwest Florida. There will be a few, select “lucky locations” that receive a brief shower or two before the end of the day, but again, keep in mind that MOST of us across the region will be dry for the duration of the weekend. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s with morning lows in the mid-60s.
HOT TEMPERATURES COMING NEXT WEEK… Increasingly warm temperatures are expected as we get into the middle and latter parts of the upcoming week. High temperatures through Monday and Tuesday will be in the upper-80s and near 90Ā°. Wednesday, however, will feature low-90s with mid-90s being possible on Thursday and Friday of the upcoming week. Overnight lows will be closer to the 70 degree mark by Thursday morning, making it really feel like summer across the region.
HURRICANE SEASON KICKS OFF IN JUST A FEW WEEKS… The official start of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season happens on Saturday, June 1. I will begin posting daily tropical updates in each morning forecast discussion beginning on May 15. For now, the tropics remain quiet with no tropical storms expected to develop over the weekend or into next week.

ISOLATED STORMS TODAY AND TOMORROW… Skies will continue to be partly cloudy throughout the day on this Friday. A few highly isolated showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be possible, particularly this evening. MOST communities, however, will remain dry today.
Warm temps again today! Highs in the upper-80s.
You may hear a few raindrops on the roof over the next several hours as a few isolated showers move east. No severe weather threat locally across south Alabama or northwest Florida. pic.twitter.com/esSR2JtGjM

ISOLATED SHOWERS… Widely scattered showers are happening in west Alabama this evening, specifically near Coffeeville, Zimco, Salitpa, and Butler in parts of Clarke and Choctaw counties.
These showers will gradually fade away over the next hour or so.
Most communities will remain dry this evening into tonight.
Rain chances in any given community across the region remain very low, however a few very isolated showers have developed after 5PM. These showers are near Libertyville, Rabun, Lottie, and Wagerville. pic.twitter.com/DOSKKlkiI4

What stands out about this season is steering. Last spring the models clearly projected a recurving storm track for peak hurricane season. That ended up being correct. This year thereās a robust model consensus that the average storm track will be into the Caribbean. 1/ https://t.co/jWcA3tNMC6 pic.twitter.com/lUv5hN9Dr8

FEW SHOWERS AROUND THIS WEEKEND… Low rain chances are expected as we get into the weekend. Certainly won’t be an “all day washout” on Saturday or on Sunday, but there may be a few showers around at times.
Next week will feature increasingly warmer temperatures with highs in the low- to mid-90s late in the week.
PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY; FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Passing cumulus clouds will happen again on this Thursday with high temperatures set to reach the 90 degree mark in several communities this afternoon. If your specific community does not hit the 90 degree mark, you can almost certainly expect upper-80s for afternoon highs. More passing clouds (mixed with a good bit of sunshine) are expected into the weekend. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s over the next several days. No severe weather issues are expected to happen locally for the foreseeable future with the chances of rain remaining quite low for the next 7-10 days.
WARM DAYS AHEAD… High temperatures will be in the 80s this weekend ahead of even warmer temperatures as we get into the middle part of the upcoming week. An upper ridge of high pressure is expected to build in across the Deep South, paving the way for low- to mid-90s by Wednesday and Thursday of the upcoming week.
LOW RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND… Isolated showers may become possible on Saturday and Sunday, particularly in the afternoon and evening hours. This won’t be a deal where every local community has rain (far from it, actually) but it does look like a few highly isolated showers will be possible on both Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s this weekend with morning lows in the mid-60s.

NICE, WARM THURSDAY… Skies will remain mostly sunny this morning with more in the way of clouds forming this afternoon. A few showers will be possible tonight, particularly across west Alabama.
High temperatures will be in the upper-80s and near the 90 degree mark today.
The probability of fog development increases overnight mainly over the southern half of the local area. Visibility may lower to less than a half mile at times. Be prepared to slow driving speeds and use low beam headlights in the case dense fog is encountered.
