FREEZING TEMPERATURES COMING EARLY NEXT WEEK… Confidence is now very high that the first freeze of the season will happen across south Alabama and northwest Florida on Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Freezing temperatures are likely as far south as Interstate 10 with temperatures as low as 31° possible as far south as the beaches and bays. Inland communities will start the day on Tuesday in the upper 20s. Wind chill values will be in the mid 20s across the region Tuesday morning.

UPDATE ON THE LOW-END SEVERE WEATHER RISK TONIGHT… While a few spotty showers and thunderstorms have happened over the last few hours, the overall threat of severe storms tonight remains exceedingly LOW across the entire region. The risk is not technically zero, but it’s in the lower of the low-end risks we have ever had for sure. Spotty showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be possible over the next few hours near the northwest Florida coast. Most places across the region are done with rain for the evening.

WHAT TO EXPECT – SATURDAY… The Storm Prediction Center has taken out the low-end risk zone valid for Saturday, leaving in its place a “general thunderstorms” zone. This is good news. I expect most locales to remain completely dry on Saturday with only a handful of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy skies will persist all day on Saturday but there will probably be a few areas that have some sunshine. High temperatures will make a run at 80 degrees again tomorrow.

COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING… Showers will be possible Sunday morning ahead of clearing skies in the P.M. hours. Temperatures on Sunday will peak in the 70s ahead of a temperature nosedive slated to happen Sunday night after a cold front moves through our local area. Overnight lows by 6AM Monday will be in the 30s and low 40s with highs on Monday struggling to get to the low 50s. Monday will be a cold, blustery, winter-feeling day across the region. That will set the stage for the temperatures you see in the map attached on Tuesday morning.

COLD BLAST WILL BE BRIEF; NO SNOW… No chance of snow or mixed precipitation anytime soon. Just a cold blast of air that will last on Monday and Tuesday. Warmer temperatures will happen later in the week with highs projected to be back into the upper 70s by Thursday.

SPOTTY STORMS FRIDAY P.M. MAY BECOME STRONG OR SEVERE; STORMS TO BE WIDELY SCATTERED… Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will become possible on Friday in the evening hours across south Alabama and northwest Florida. This will be a unique severe weather setup in that thunderstorms will probably remain quite isolated in nature. That means there is a real chance some communities across the region will have NO rain tomorrow into tomorrow night. Where storms do fire up, however, large hail, gusty winds, and even a tornado or two may become possible. We have nearly all of the local area involved in a low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk zone valid for Friday into Friday night. Separately, another low-end severe weather risk will set up on Saturday evening ahead of sharply colder and drier temperatures coming behind an advancing cold front on Sunday evening.

SEVERE WEATHER TIMING – FRIDAY… While isolated strong storms will be possible on both Friday and Saturday, it’s important we look at these events separately as we probably will have a lull in between the activity tomorrow night and the storms that develop on Saturday in the evening hours. 2PM Friday to 2AM Saturday is the twelve hour window for the first round of storms with 4PM to 11PM Friday being the main seven hour window. Thunderstorms are very likely to be highly isolated in nature, meaning it will NOT rain in every, single community across the region. Another round of spotty thunderstorms may develop on Saturday afternoon and evening with at least some potential for a few strong to severe storms across inland areas of southwest Alabama.

EXPLAINING A LOW-END, LEVEL 1 (OUT OF 5) RISK… November and December usually see an uptick in severe weather activity across the Deep South and this year is proving to be no exception already. The severe weather risk zone we are involved in valid for Friday is a low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) risk. It’s the “lowest level risk,” but it’s a risk nonetheless. These risk zones are derived from the Storm Prediction Center convective outlook, issued multiple times daily. A Level 1 risk zone means that widespread, significant severe storms are not expected, but a few stronger storms cannot completely be ruled out. Can tornadoes happen on a low-end risk day? Yes, absolutely possible, but certainly not a guarantee! Anytime there is a risk in place for our region, I encourage everyone to have multiple ways to hear urgent weather warnings, just in case your specific location goes under a tornado warning.

ANOTHER LOW-END RISK ON SATURDAY… Our local weather pattern on Saturday will probably be quite similar to what happens on Friday. Another round of highly isolated thunderstorms will be possible, including at least some risk of a few stronger storms. This second batch of storms will probably happen on Saturday evening locally. It won’t rain in every community but there may be a few highly isolated stronger storms around.

SHARPLY COLDER AIR ON THE WAY… The coldest air of the season so far is slated to arrive on Sunday evening. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 80s with highs in the 70s on Sunday. Temperatures nosedive Sunday night and we’re headed to overnight lows in the mid 30s at 6AM on Monday. Highs on Monday will struggle to get to the mid 50s (!) with overnight lows on Tuesday morning in the 20s in many communities.
