A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON; DRY, HOT WEEKEND… There is a low-end chance of a few widely scattered showers this afternoon into this evening across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Any isolated sprinkles and showers that develop this evening will be drifting south this evening. Most of the high school football games happening this evening across the region will likely be dry. Temperatures will peak in the low 90s for afternoon highs today. We’ll be around 83° at 7PM, falling into the upper 70s by 9-10PM. It will be a nice evening to get out and attend a football game or have dinner out on the town tonight.
HOT TEMPS THIS WEEKEND… High temperatures will be in the low 90s on both Saturday and Sunday. The consolation prize is temperatures will be in the low 60s each morning. It will feel like fall from 4-7AM before we return to summer temperatures in the afternoon and evening hours. Rain chances remain quite low (near 0%) on both Saturday and Sunday.
DRY PATTERN INTO NEXT WEEK… Mostly sunny days with high temperatures in the low 90s are expected as we get into the early part of the upcoming week. No rain is in the forecast for Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday across south Alabama and northwest Florida.
TROPICS: CARIBBEAN TROPICAL MISCHIEF POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK… While uncertainty remains quite high surrounding what will happen next week in the western Caribbean Sea, some model guidance has alluded to the possibility of a tropical depression or tropical storm developing and moving north. For now, the National Hurricane Center does not have any official guidance posted in the Tropical Weather Outlook. I will be monitoring model trends over the weekend and bring you the latest in the RedZone Weather app.
TROPICS: GROWING CHANCE OF TROPICAL STORM DEVELOPING IN ATLANTIC… A tropical wave set to move off of the western coast of Africa has an increasing (30-40%) chance of becoming a named tropical storm next week as the system moves westward. Too early to know if this system will be a potential direct issue for North America OR if the system will recurve harmlessly into the open waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. This is something we will be monitoring in the days ahead.
See all the details in your Friday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15AM Monday morning. I will have updates posted throughout the day, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.
Have a great weekend!
