CLEARING SKIES TODAY; NICE WEEKEND; ANOTHER COLD SNAP COMING EARLY NEXT WEEK… Rain and thunderstorms continue to rapidly move east and away from south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Thursday morning. Skies will become mostly sunny by the afternoon hours with clear skies likely this evening. Afternoon high temperatures will be about twenty degrees cooler than yesterday. Most spots will peak in the low to mid 60s today. We have beautiful weather upcoming for the weekend ahead of rain being possible on Monday. Get ready for another cold snap early next week!

NICE WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND… Sunny skies are expected across the region on Friday and Saturday. Afternoon highs will be in the low 70s tomorrow with upper 70s likely on Saturday. It will be perfect weather for outdoor activities tomorrow and Saturday. Sunday may feature just a few widely scattered showers in the evening hours, but most spots across the area will remain dry. Highs on Sunday will be around the 80 degree mark.

RAIN POSSIBLE MONDAY AS COLD AIR MOVES IN; CHILLY TUESDAY… Isolated rain showers will be possible on Monday as a cold front comes through the region. Highs on Monday will be in the 60s with overnight lows likely to be in the mid 30s on Monday night into Tuesday. There is a risk that some communities may have near freezing temperatures by 6AM Tuesday morning. Highs on Tuesday will only be in the 50s ahead of another night with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Some spots may dip just below freezing Wednesday morning of the upcoming week.

4:33AM: ALL CLEAR; DAMAGING WIND & TORNADO RISK ENDS… The risk of tornadoes and damaging wind gusts has now dropped to zero as a line of strong to severe storms moves to our east. The severe weather risk has ended for communities near and WEST of Opp, Crestview, and Destin. All clear for southwest Alabama and northwest Florida. Rain and thunder will continue to be possible over the next several hours. The morning commute may be wet for some across the region as intermittent showers continue. The threat of hazardous weather, however, has come to an end.

RISK CONTINUES TO OUR EAST… At the time I am writing this at 4:32AM, three tornado warnings are in progress in parts of Henry and Houston counties in southeast Alabama with multiple confirmed tornadoes in progress. Tornado Warnings are also happening in parts of Georgia this morning. The line of storms will continue moving east over the next several hours.

NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TREES DOWN IN SOUTHEAST MS & WEST AL… Numerous reports of trees down have come in to the Storm Prediction Center over the last number of hours. Multiple trees have been reported down in parts of Clarke and Choctaw counties. At least some of the damage in parts of western Clarke County will be investigated as possible tornado track, most likely. We covered the tornado warning that happened at West Bend and Coffeeville. At least one Tornadic Debris Signature was observed in Mobile County near Semmes as well.

THANKS FOR WATCHING… Thank you to everyone who watched our coverage overnight and thank you to our RedZone Weather sponsors for empowering us to bring you weather coverage every, single day. We could not do what we do, in terms of coverage, if it weren’t for our RedZone Weather sponsors. Make sure you support them! redzoneweather.com/sponsors lists every one of them!

I will have a new forecast video worked up by 7:15AM. Join me then for a look at the upcoming pattern. Colder temps today and tonight ahead of another, more significant cold snap coming early next week!
