MOSTLY SUNNY WEDNESDAY; HIGHER RAIN CHANCES IN DAYS AHEAD… Mostly sunny skies are expected across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Wednesday. Hot and humid conditions will persist with high temperatures in the low 90s across the region. Most communities will remain dry, especially inland, although a few showers and thunderstorms may develop closer to the coast and across northwest Florida this afternoon into this evening. Any storm that develops may produce a localized downpour and cloud-to-ground lightning. Widespread severe storms are not expected today. Rain chances will increase quite a bit across the region tomorrow and Friday.

INCREASED CHANCES OF P.M. POP-UP STORMS TOMORROW & FRIDAY… Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will become possible on Thursday and Friday as an upper-level trough approaches, the ridge weakens, and deeper moisture moves into our region. Most storms will happen during the P.M. hours. It will not rain all day, but considerably more communities will have rain compared to today. Heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds will be possible in the stronger storms. Isolated nuisance-type flooding cannot be ruled out where storms repeatedly move over the same areas. No formal severe weather risk is in place for tomorrow. High temperatures will generally range from the upper 80s to mid 90s.

P.M. STORMS WILL BE THE NORM THIS WEEKEND… Saturday could be wet at times in the evening hours with scattered to numerous P.M. showers and thunderstorms being possible. Keep in mind, it won’t rain all day and there is a good chance some communities will remain completely dry. Scattered storms will remain possible Sunday, although rain coverage should be somewhat lower compared to Saturday. Neither day is expected to be a complete washout. I do not advise cancelling weekend plans, but be ready to check the radar and move inside if a storm approaches. High temperatures will generally be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

NEXT WEEK: MORE HEAT, HUMIDITY, & P.M. STORMS… Daily chances of P.M. showers and thunderstorms will continue Monday and Tuesday. Storm coverage will vary from one community to another, but the overall pattern will remain hot and humid. High temperatures will generally be in the upper 80s to low and mid 90s.

TROPICS: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET AT CLIMATOLOGICAL PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON… The National Hurricane Center is not highlighting any tropical disturbances across the Atlantic Basin, including in the Gulf and Caribbean Sea. Tropical development is not expected during the next 5-7 days. The climatological peak of hurricane season happens over the next couple days. It is remarkable that September has been so quiet, so far. This is likely due to the strengthening El Nino pattern across the globe. El Nino generally makes the Pacific Basin quite active while making conditions hostile for tropical development in the Atlantic Basin. That is exactly what we have seen so far through this hurricane season.
