STORMS OFFSHORE… Scattered thunderstorms are happening near and just offshore from the northwest Florida coast at midday. Some of these showers and storms may move toward coastal areas over the next hour or so. Widespread severe weather is not expected today.
NICE, MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS THRU WEEKEND… High temperatures will consistently be in the upper-80s over the next several days. Next real chance of rain happens next week.
FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE NEAR COAST TODAY; DRY WEEKEND AHEAD… Mostly sunny skies are expected across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Wednesday. A few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two may happen in coastal counties, particularly in zones south of the Interstate 10 corridor. High temperatures will be in the upper-90s. Mostly sunny, nice conditions are expected across the region over the next several days.
TROPICS: TROPICAL STORM MAY FORM EAST OF GEORGIA AND CAROLINA COAST… The National Hurricane Center continues to indicate an area of low pressure is expected to form just east of the Georgia and South Carolina coast later this week. This system may acquire some tropical characteristics this weekend as it moves north or northeast. Odds of the system becoming a tropical storm are in the 30-40% chance range. No direct local impacts are expected due to this system in south Alabama or northwest Florida regardless of if formal development happens.
TROPICS: HURRICANE NIGEL EAST OF BERMUDA… Hurricane Nigel is about 600 miles east of Bermuda on this Wednesday in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Nigel is expected to remain well away from land areas in the days ahead as the system continues moving north. No direct land impacts are expected because of Nigel in the next 3-5 days and the system will likely remain well away from the USA.
TROPICS: TROPICAL WAVE NEAR WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA… A tropical wave is moving off of the western African coast this morning. The tropical wave has a 70-80% chance of becoming a named tropical storm while moving westward across the open waters of the central Atlantic Ocean later this week and into the weekend. Environmental conditions are expected to support a strengthening storm. Global models vary considerably as to where the system will ultimately end up, thus it is too early to speculate with any accuracy whether the storm could be a threat for the Caribbean, Gulf, or Atlantic. We will continue to monitor this system carefully and bring you updates in the RedZone Weather app.
TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN QUIET… The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea remain quiet with no new tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days. Hurricane season runs through November 30.

NICE WEDNESDAY; FEW COASTAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE… Mostly sunny skies are likely across the region on this Wednesday. A few showers may happen, particularly closer to the northwest Florida beaches, later today. High temperatures will again be in the upper-80s.
Have a nice day!

Area of low pressure still forecast to develop off the Carolinas. By Friday morning, it will have a well defined center and gusty winds. However, it may not be classified as a tropical system by NHC (30% chance) due to its frontal nature.
Regardless, coastal conditions will⦠pic.twitter.com/WVlbaScVCO

NICE, SUNNY DAYS AHEAD… Next rain chance happens early next week. Before we get there, several days of sunny, nice days!
SUNNY TUESDAY; NEXT RAIN CHANCE HAPPENS NEXT WEEK… Plenty of sunshine is expected on this Tuesday. Most communities started in the upper-50s and near 60 inland this morning with mid-60s closer to the coast. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s today with a fully supply of sunshine. More sunny, nice days are ahead through the weekend. Our next rain chance happens on Monday into Tuesday of the upcoming week as we trend toward a wetter pattern.
TROPICS: LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO FORM OFF CAROLINA COAST… The National Hurricane Center indicates an area of low pressure is expected to form just east of the Georgia and South Carolina coast later this week. This system may acquire some tropical characteristics this weekend as it moves north or northeast. Odds of the system becoming a tropical storm are in the 30-40% chance range. No direct local impacts are expected due to this system in south Alabama or northwest Florida regardless of if formal development happens.

TROPICS: TROPICAL WAVE MOVING OFF AFRICAN COAST… A tropical wave will move off of the western African coast late tonight or tomorrow. The tropical wave has a 70-80% chance of becoming a named tropical storm while moving westward across the open waters of the central Atlantic Ocean later this week and into the weekend. It is entirely too early to know where this system will ultimately end up.
TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN QUIET… The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are quiet with no new tropical storms expected to form over the next 5-7 days. Hurricane season runs through November 30.
