MOSTLY CLOUDY TUESDAY… Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day on this Tuesday across south Alabama and Northwest Florida. High temperatures will peak in the low 70s.
Isolated showers may become possible this evening into tonight. Rain likely at times Wednesday.
MOSTLY CLOUDY TUESDAY; RAIN POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF COLD FRONT… Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day on this Tuesday. I expect the daytime hours to be dry ahead of a chance of showers after sunset, specifically across parts of west Alabama. Most communities locally will remain dry until tomorrow morning when scattered showers will move in from the northwest. These showers will be moving just ahead of an advancing cold front that will cross our region on Wednesday. Much cooler temperatures arrive Wednesday night into Thursday.
HIGHS IN THE 60s, LOWS IN THE 30s THURSDAY AND FRIDAY… Just in time for Halloween, colder air pushes in from the northwest starting tomorrow night. Overnight lows on Thursday night into Friday morning will be in the 30s across inland communities with low 40s closer to the coast. High temperatures on Thursday and on Friday will be in the 60s.
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THIS WEEKEND… Full sunshine is likely on Saturday and Sunday across south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will be in the low 70s each day with morning lows in the 40s. This will be the nicest weather weekend we have had in several weeks.
HURRICANE MELISSA NEAR JAMAICA… Hurricane Melissa continues to cause major problems in Jamaica this morning where catastrophic damage will be possible due to the intense storm. Melissa will move across eastern Cuba tomorrow ahead of churning through the Turks and Caicos islands. The storm may be a problem for Bermuda in a few days as well. Melissa will never be a direct threat to Alabama or northwest Florida.

Quick comparison of Melissa's structure from TDR now vs. 12 hours ago – while the inner core has barely changed with a similar peak wind speed & RMW, its hurricane-force wind field has slightly expanded. This is not a good development as it approaches Jamaica. pic.twitter.com/WxtvsFwHc9

Satellite imagery presentation of a hurricane does not get more textbook than this.
