SUNNY TODAY; RAIN AT TIMES SAT. NIGHT INTO SUNDAY… We’ve had a string of beautiful, sunny days across the region and today will continue that trend. Tomorrow, however, clouds start to move in ahead of rain and storms becoming possible Saturday night into Sunday.
For now, no formal risk of severe weather for any part of the Deep South on Sunday.
Scattered severe storms will be possible on Saturday across all of Arkansas and parts of western Mississippi and Tennessee. The Storm Prediction Center has a Level 2 (out of 5) risk zone in… pic.twitter.com/X1RN9PRFt9

Great day at Marcus Pointe Christian School in Pensacola! I was thrilled to be able to spend some time with the 6th graders discussing broadcast meteorology and severe weather safety.

Tropical Storm Lorenzo, located well away from any land areas in the open waters of the central Atlantic Ocean, won't last much longer as a tropical storm.
The system will probably degenerate into a remnant low tonight or tomorrow.

SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Warm days and cool nights will continue through Saturday ahead of a chance of a few showers and thunderstorms late Saturday night into Sunday.
Unfortunately, there is a real chance some communities may not get any rain as storms will likely be scattered in nature.
SUNNY, NICE WEDNESDAY; SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY… High temperatures will be in the upper 80s this afternoon with a full supply of sunshine expected throughout the day across south Alabama and northwest Florida on this Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be dry days locally ahead of our next rain chance setting up late Saturday night into Sunday as a cold front approaches from the northwest. For now, the overall threat of any severe storms locally remains low, however, a few strong to severe storms may be possible during the daytime hours of Saturday to our northwest.
WARM DAYS, COOL NIGHTS THROUGH SATURDAY… Cool temperatures with overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s are expected on Thursday and Friday mornings. Afternoon highs today, tomorrow, and Friday will be in the mid to upper 80s. Some communities may briefly hit the 90 degree mark each afternoon through Saturday.
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TO OUR NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY… The Storm Prediction Center has added a Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk for all of Arkansas valid for Saturday into Saturday night. In addition, parts of eastern Oklahoma, northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, northwest Mississippi, western parts of Tennessee and Kentucky, southern Illinois, eastern Oklahoma, and much of the southern half of Missouri are also involved in this Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk. Damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes will be possible in these zones on Saturday into Saturday night.
SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE LOCALLY SUNDAY… The same cold front responsible for the severe weather risk to our northwest on Saturday moves our way on Saturday night into Sunday. For now, the overall parameters do not look particularly supportive for a significant severe weather setup locally, but a few strong to severe storms may be possible. I suspect the Storm Prediction Center will add a Level 1 (out of 5) low-end severe weather risk for our local area on Sunday to account for this possibility. Unfortunately, not every community across the local area will have rain with this event as storms will be scattered in nature.
NICER WEATHER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK… Monday and Tuesday of the upcoming week will be partly cloudy with high temperatures in the low 80s. Overnight lows will be in the 50s early next week.
TROPICS: LORENZO STRUGGLING IN CENTRAL ATLANTIC… Tropical Storm Lorenzo, centered about 1,400 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands in the central Atlantic Ocean, continues to be a weak, rather disorganized system. Lorenzo will remain well away from land areas over the next few days as the system drifts north in the open waters of the Atlantic.
TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN QUIET… The Gulf and Caribbean remain quiet with no new tropical storms expected to develop over the next 5-7 days. The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season will end on Sunday, November 30.
