MOSTLY SUNNY & DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND… Skies will remain mostly sunny today, on Friday, and into the upcoming weekend. High temperatures will be in the low 90s today. Dry conditions are expected to persist through the weekend and into early next week. Unfortunately, temperatures will trend toward the mid 90s as we get into Monday and Tuesday of the upcoming week. Drought conditions are expected to worsen across all of south Alabama and northwest Florida in the weeks ahead.

TROPICS: 20-30% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT IN ATLANTIC… A tropical wave, currently moving westward over central Africa, has a 20-30% chance of becoming a named tropical storm once the system moves off of the western coast of Africa into the eastern Atlantic Ocean. This system is 12+ days from any direct North America impacts and there is no guarantee it will make it all the way across the Atlantic. Most of the early model guidance shows the system recurving northward into the Atlantic. Too early to know exactly where this system will end up.

TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN REMAIN QUIET… The Gulf and Caribbean Sea remain quiet with no new tropical storms expected to develop over the next 5-7 days. The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season will end on November 30.

REMEMBERING THOSE WE LOST ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001… Today we pause and remember all of the people we lost 24 years ago on September 11, 2001 in the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history. I was a 4th grader at Brewton Elementary School and will never forget that day. Our prayers are with all of the families affected by the attacks on that day – 24 years ago today.

See all the details in your Thursday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. My next forecast video will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. I will have updates posted throughout the day, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.

Have a good Thursday!

NICE, SEASONAL THURSDAY… A beautiful Thursday is on tap for south Alabama and northwest Florida. Ample sunshine is expected throughout the day. High temperatures will be in the low 90s across the region today.

Hope it’s a good day for you!

This is a good way to put it. AI isn’t replacing meteorologists but it IS another source of potentially significantly helpful info in forecasting. Good video by NHC! https://t.co/1aV4ApkYFB

We knew the lull in activity probably wouldn't last! The National Hurricane Center has posted a 20% chance of development zone for much of the central Atlantic Ocean due to a tropical wave expected to move off the western coast of Africa later this week. pic.twitter.com/BHimRMM9sd

HOTTER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK… Temperatures will trend a bit higher as we get into early next week with highs set to be in the mid 90s by Monday and Tuesday.

Nice weekend coming up before we get there. Mostly sunny skies are expected on both Saturday and Sunday.

MOSTLY SUNNY, DRY WEDNESDAY; NICE, DRY WEEKEND COMING UP… If you missed rainfall over the last couple of days (most of us, not all, did), you’re going to have to wait for quite some time for the next opportunity for significant rainfall. South Alabama and northwest Florida have an extended streak of dry weather in store with increasingly warm temperatures as we get into next week. High temperatures on this Wednesday will be in the upper 80s and near the 90 degree mark. Looking ahead, drought conditions will likely worsen. The good news is we have no tropical trouble brewing in the Gulf or Caribbean anytime soon.

NICE WEATHER DAYS AHEAD… Quiet, dry weather is set to continue tomorrow, Friday, and into the upcoming weekend. High temperatures will creep into the low 90s in the days ahead with morning lows in the mid to upper 60s. No rain is expected tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. We should have a full supply of sunshine each day with a limited amount of cloud cover.

DROUGHT CONDITIONS DEVELOPING… The U.S. Drought Monitor already has included much of our local area in their “abnormally dry” category. We’ll get an update tomorrow midday showing the latest drought conditions. I expect much of the region to be upgraded into the Level 1 (out of 4) drought delineation. Unfortunately, I do not see any signs of significant rainfall over the next 10-14 days.

TROPICS QUIET… Today and tomorrow are the peak of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Remarkably, the entire Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf and Caribbean, are quiet with no tropical storms expected to form in the next 5-7 days.
