NICE TODAY; STORMS RETURNS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… We get a break today and during the daytime hours tomorrow ahead of more active weather returning Friday and into the weekend. High temperatures will consistently be in the 80s over the next several days with morning lows in the 60s.
NICE WEDNESDAY; STORMS RETURN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY… Skies will gradually become mostly sunny on this Wednesday as clouds continue to clear to the east of south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-80s today. Our next significant chance of rain and thunderstorms will happen on Friday and Saturday.
RAIN & STORMS LIKELY AT TIMES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY… Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are likely on Friday and Saturday. There is a chance for a few strong to severe storms on Friday and perhaps on Saturday as well. The Storm Prediction Center has included parts of Louisiana and southern Mississippi in their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid on Friday. We will see if there is an expansion of the risk zone into our area on Friday or Saturday. That is a possibility.
FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS INLAND FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY… In addition to the possibility of a few strong to severe storms later this week and into the weekend, widespread rain totals of 1-2″ of rain are likely with isolated higher amounts. The soil across our region is now fairly saturated after multiple rounds of rain and storms over the last several days. This means that the potential exists for flash flooding across the region. Be aware of the potential for flash flooding as we go into the weekend.

MAINLY SUNNY TODAY… Skies become mostly sunny on this Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s today.
Let’s enjoy this nice, quiet weather while we can! We have more rain on the way for Friday and Saturday along with a chance of a few strong storms.
âś… All clear. The low-end risk of any severe storms across south Alabama and northwest Florida simply did not materialize this afternoon. Great news!
Isolated storms may be possible across the region over the next couple of hours but severe weather is not expected.

Storms have developed this evening near Eliska and Chrysler in southern Monroe County. These storms will move toward Mexia and Monroeville over the next 30 minutes. We'll see if storms hold together as storms have, so far, had a tough time developing. Good news! pic.twitter.com/I2oyWo6wOQ

ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING EAST… Small showers continue to develop across the region this afternoon. So far, we haven’t had thunderstorms develop but I do expect a few storms to pop up over the next several hours. Temperatures are peaking this afternoon in the low-80s.
Showers are becoming more numerous this afternoon in parts of Conecuh, Baldwin, Escambia (FL), and Santa Rosa counties. Some of these showers will inevitably become thunderstorms over the next few hours. pic.twitter.com/GsEfWa3FR9

Spotty thunderstorms are expected to pop up across parts of south Alabama and northwest Florida over the next several hours. Some of these storms may briefly become strong or severe. Main concerns are gusty winds and hail. Tornado risk remains quite low. Not zero, but quite low. pic.twitter.com/3e0zoOyBpy

MORE STORMS COMING THIS WEEKEND… Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and this evening before a break tomorrow into Thursday.
More active weather likely on Friday into Saturday.
SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON; DRIER WEATHER WEDNESDAY… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely pop up this afternoon across parts of south Alabama and northwest Florida. After heavy rain at times overnight and numerous, loud thunderstorms, today we get a break from the more organized masses of storms that we have endured twice in the last 2 days. Pop-up, scattered storms will be most likely to develop later this morning and into the afternoon hours. Isolated storms may develop in the evening as well. All of this activity is expected to ultimately fade away after sunset. The overall risk of any of the stronger storms becoming severe is LOW, but not entirely zero. I will have updates posted later today, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.
DRIER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING… Tomorrow is expected to be mostly sunny with high temperatures in the upper-80s. No rain is expected on Wednesday. Thursday morning is also likely to be dry. Our next rain chance (after today) happens on Thursday, primarily in the late evening hours, ahead of high rain chances on Friday.
HEAVY RAIN & STORMS AT TIMES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY… Our next organized round of potentially heavy rain and thunderstorms will happen on Friday into Saturday. It looks like the greatest risk of strong to severe storms AND heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding will happen across inland areas of southwest Alabama. I will be monitoring details on this next round of active weather and bring you the latest in the RedZone Weather app. High temperatures on Friday and into the weekend will be in the 80s with morning lows in the 60s.
APP… If you haven’t already, be sure to download the free RedZone Weather app to keep up with all the latest information on the world of weather in south Alabama and northwest Florida. redzoneweather.com/app is the link for the free download. Once you have the app downloaded to your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab (lower right corner) and tap the Alert Settings button to customize the alerts you would like to receive straight from me.
See all the details in your Tuesday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. Have a nice day!
MORE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON… Isolated pop-up storms may develop this afternoon into this evening and move east. Greatest rain chance along and east of I-65. Drier weather returns tomorrow!
Gusty winds of 30-40 mph will be possible over the next several hours as rain gradually comes to an end.
A wake low is developing behind the mass of rain that will bring gusty winds to much of the area.

Thunderstorms are quite noisy across the region, but the good news is these are simply general thunderstorms that remain well under severe limits. Beneficial rain! pic.twitter.com/x0vAgZA1iS

Good news! Strong storms moving toward our area are weakening. The overall severe weather risk, even closer to the coast, will probably remain quite low overnight. Risk is not zero, but it is low. Storms will be LOUD & rowdy at times overnight. ⚡️
