RZW EXEC: STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY… RZW Exec partners, good Monday evening! We continue to look at the severe weather risk setting up for Tuesday (tomorrow) across south Alabama and northwest Florida. It appears the greatest risk will happen across INLAND counties, with a lower risk closer to the immediate coast. The main concern on Tuesday will be damaging wind gusts in the stronger storms that will be capable of knocking down trees. Isolated tornadoes and large hail will also be possible in the stronger storms.

Overview: Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday, most likely in the daytime hours, across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Tornadoes will be possible.

Threat Level: Level 2 (out of 5) risk, meaning scattered instances of severe storms will be possible.

Where: Inland areas of south Alabama are involved in the Level 2 (out of 5) risk zone, including all parts of Covington, Escambia (AL), Butler, Crenshaw, Conecuh, Monroe, Clarke, and Washington counties. Our coastal counties are involved in the lower-end Level 1 (out of 5) marginal severe weather risk. This includes Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Mobile, and Baldwin counties.

When: 6AM to 4PM Tuesday, March 31. The core risk will be from 9AM to 3PM.

Risks: A few tornadoes. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph in the stronger storms. Large hail will also be possible in the stronger storms.

I will begin publishing this information publicly in the next few hours. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or have specific decision support needs. Thank you!

Below is the public, long form post that will debut this evening.

DAMAGING WIND GUSTS & TORNADOES POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY… Severe storms will have the potential to produce damaging winds and potentially a few tornadoes on Tuesday as a potent storm system moves through from west to east across our local area. The Storm Prediction Center continues to outlook much of our area in their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid on Tuesday, meaning scattered instances of severe weather will be possible. Let’s be clear: Not everyone will have weather issues on Tuesday, but there could be multiple locales that experience trees down and perhaps more damage IF tornadoes happen. Unfortunately, this system likely will not be a significant rain event for our region. Most spots can expect upwards of one half inch to one inch of rainfall in total. Let’s look at the information you need to know tonight…

HAVE A WAY TO GET URGENT WEATHER WARNINGS TONIGHT… Before you go to sleep, I would encourage you to have at least one (if not multiple) ways to receive urgent weather warnings. You need something like a NOAA Weather Radio that will wake you up if your area goes under a tornado warning or a severe thunderstorm warning. Cell phone apps, including our free RedZone Weather app, are a great choice for alerting options too. Let’s be clear in stating that the core risk will be in the daytime hours of Tuesday (more info on specific timing below), but I can’t completely rule out a few stronger storms over west Alabama as early as 4AM or 5AM. Thus, we want everyone to have a way to get warnings before you go to sleep this evening as a course of least regret.

MAIN CONCERNS TUESDAY – DAMAGING WINDS & TORNADOES… Based on the latest model guidance, it has become increasingly apparent that damaging straight line winds will likely be our greatest risk on Tuesday in the stronger storms. There could be a few tornadoes involved as well, but this may not matter if we have a widespread damaging wind event as straight line winds can sometimes be as bad or worse than tornadoes. Large hail, up to the size of golfballs, will be possible in the strongest of the storms. The overall risk for flash flooding remains very low as overall rain amounts will probably less than one inch in total across the region. Cloud-to-ground lightning will also be a concern.

TIMING – SEVERE WEATHER RISK TUESDAY… 6AM to 4PM on Tuesday remains the ten hour window when strong to severe storms will be most likely to happen across south Alabama and northwest Florida. The core risk will be from 9AM to 3PM. Storms will move from west to east, but we note that there could be a few isolated stronger storms out ahead of the main batch of storms that will progressively move across our region.

The following information has not changed since our previous detailed update this morning.

COVID-19 AND TORNADO WARNING GUIDELINES… We’re in a strange time when the guidelines on what to do during a tornado warning versus what to do regarding social distancing because of COVID-19 may seem to conflict. If you, your family, or your friends use a community underground storm shelter, please take the opportunity to read the recommended guidelines established by our local National Weather Service offices and the state health department. Basically, the tornado warning takes precedence over social distancing when/if necessary as the tornado is the more immediate threat. Here is the post outlining those details.

COOLER, DRIER AIR ARRIVES TUESDAY NIGHT… The reason we have a chance of severe storms on Tuesday is partly because of the forcing caused by the advancing cold front that will be moving into our area on Tuesday evening. This front will bring cooler, drier air into our region by Tuesday night.

BETTER WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY… Nicer, slightly cooler, and drier conditions will be in place for Wednesday and Thursday. High temperatures will drop into the mid-70s by Wednesday with overnight lows falling into the mid- to upper-50s. Mostly sunny skies are likely Wednesday with partly cloudy skies on Thursday.

MORE RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… There could be a few showers ahead of an area of low pressure inching closer to our area on Friday. Rain chances will rise as we go into next weekend with a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday. It is too early to talk specifics on that system, but it is late March and early April (heart of severe weather season!), meaning we need to watch this system closely. I’ll have more details about this once we get through the active weather on Tuesday.

APP ALERTS… redzoneweather.com/app is the link where you can download the free RedZone Weather app. We post brief updates throughout each day in the app, keeping you up-to-date about the latest happenings in weather across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Once you have the free app downloaded to your iOS or Android device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab (lower right corner) then tap the large, yellow Alert Settings button to customize the alerts you would like to receive straight from me.

CARDS FOR THE ELDERLY… Please don’t forget to take advantage of our new RedZone Weather Cards for the Elderly program. We want to be able to safely send as many encouraging cards as possible to our local senior adults in nursing homes. Be sure to visit the link below for all the information. This is an opportunity for students and adults across our region to write encouraging notes to elderly people currently under lockdown in local nursing homes due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Here is the link.

I’ll have more updates overnight and on Tuesday morning in the RedZone Weather app before the next detailed video and text discussion. The video will be posted by 7:15AM tomorrow morning. Have a great evening!

RZW EXEC: STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY… RZW Exec partners, good Saturday evening! I hope all of you remain healthy and well in the midst of this coronavirus situation. We’re looking at a chance of severe weather on Tuesday. Below is the condensed information of what you need to know, followed by the long form text I will push publicly later this evening. Please let me know if you have specific questions or decision support needs. Thank you!

Overview: Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday, most likely in the daytime hours, across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Tornadoes will be possible.

Threat Level: Level 2 (out of 5) risk, meaning scattered instances of severe storms will be possible.

Where: Nearly all of south Alabama and northwest Florida is involved in this Level 2 (out of 5) risk zone. ALL parts of Baldwin, Monroe, Conecuh, Escambia (AL), Covington, Butler, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties are included. In addition, much of Mobile, Clarke, and Washington counties are involved, including the cities of Mobile, Prichard, Saraland, Thomasville, and Jackson.

When: 6AM to 6PM Tuesday, March 31. This timeline may change slightly due to updated model data over the next few days.

Risks: A few tornadoes. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph in the stronger storms.

I will begin publishing this information publicly in the next few hours. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or have specific decision support needs. Thank you!

Below is the public, long form post…

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY… The Storm Prediction Center has added nearly all of south Alabama and all of northwest Florida into their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk zone valid for Tuesday. A few tornadoes and damaging wind gusts will likely be the convective hazards with this event. Timing is still a bit uncertain due to model disagreement, but it appears this will be a daytime event for most of us across the region. The reason we have a severe weather risk setting up Tuesday is because a cold front will be diving southeastward across our region, putting nearly all of us in a warm, unstable sector out ahead of the front that could potentially support the development of strong to severe storms. There are obviously some abnormal considerations we have to look at in terms of the tornado warning sheltering guidelines and COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. Please see the paragraph (and separate linked post in the paragraph) below about that. That is your summary, below are all the details.

WHO IS INVOLVED IN LEVEL 2 RISK… Nearly all of us in south Alabama and northwest Florida are involved. Basically a line from Columbus (Georgia) to Montgomery to Selma to Chatom and points south to the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches are included. ALL parts of these counties are included in the risk zone: Monroe, Baldwin, Escambia (AL), Conecuh, Butler, Wilcox, Covington, Crenshaw, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, in addition to all counties in southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. In addition, parts of Mobile, Clarke, and Washington counties in west Alabama are included in the risk zone, including the cities of Mobile, Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Jackson, Grove Hill, and Thomasville.

MAIN HAZARDS: A FEW TORNADOES & DAMAGING WIND GUSTS… The main concerns in the storms that can ramp up to strong and severe levels on Tuesday will be the potential for a few tornadoes and damaging straight line winds that could knock down trees across our region. It is too early to be specific on where potential specific threats may set up. That is something we’ll be trying to nail down on a more specific level in the days ahead.

SEVERE WEATHER TIMING – TUESDAY… 6AM to 6PM on Tuesday, March 31 is the 12 hour window when severe weather appears to be most likely to happen across south Alabama and northwest Florida. We will be able to get a more specific, focused timeline over the next few days as more model data firms up the details. Please have a way to receive urgent weather warnings in place BEFORE this event.

LEVEL 2 (OUT OF 5) RISK FOR LOCAL AREA… When a Level 2 (out of 5) risk is in place, that means that scattered instances of severe thunderstorms are possible, including the potential for isolated intense thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes. MOST times when we have a Level 2 (out of 5) slight risk in place, we simply do not have major issues. There have been times, however, when big issues have happened on Level 2-type days. Take the Century-Flomaton EF3 tornado that happened on February 15, 2016. That was a Level 2 risk day. That is certainly not the NORM for a Level 2 risk day, but it just goes to show that intense thunderstorms CAN happen.

COVID-19 AND TORNADO WARNING GUIDELINES… We’re in a strange time when the guidelines on what to do during a tornado warning versus what to do regarding social distancing because of COVID-19 may seem to conflict. If you, your family, or your friends use a community underground storm shelter, please take the opportunity to read the recommended guidelines established by our local National Weather Service offices and the state health department. Basically, the tornado warning takes precedence over social distancing when/if necessary as the tornado is the more immediate threat. Here is the post outlining all of that.

SET UP APP ALERTS… Now is the time, long before we get to this severe weather potential, to set up the RedZone Weather app on your smartphone! redzoneweather.com/app is the link where you can download the iOS or Android version of the app. Once you have the app downloaded to your device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab (lower right corner of the app), then tap the large, yellow Alert Settings button to customize the alerts you would like to receive straight from me.

NEXT UPDATE… My next detailed video update and long form text discussion will be posted on Sunday no later than 3PM. I hope you’ll tune in and join us for that. In the meantime, I’ll have quite a few updates this evening into tonight and Sunday morning in the RedZone Weather app. Let me know if you have any weather-related questions.

Have a great Saturday evening!

RZW EXEC: FEW STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY… RZW Exec partners, good Thursday afternoon! I hope all of you are healthy and well in the midst of this coronavirus situation. We have been fortunate not to have active weather in the middle of this national/international crisis but it looks like we now have a SMALL chance of a few stronger storms happening on Friday (tomorrow). Let me be clear in that the main concern will be gusty winds and hail. The overall risk of tornadoes remains VERY LOW.

Overview: A few strong storms are possible across much of west and central Alabama Friday afternoon and early evening.

Where: This low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) risk zone includes parts of Monroe, Clarke, Washington, Choctaw, Wilcox, Marengo, and Butler counties.

When: 11AM to 9PM.

Risks: Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph in the isolated stronger storms. Up to quarter size hail in the stronger storms. The tornado risk remains very low.

I will begin pushing this information publicly in the next few hours. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or have specific decision support needs. Thank you!

RZW EXEC: SEVERE WEATHER RISK A BIT HIGHER FOR WEDNESDAY… RZW Exec partners, good Tuesday evening! Below is a detailed breakdown of the latest info concerning our severe weather setup on Wednesday. The overall risk has increased slightly, especially for inland areas considering we have previously advertised a higher tornado risk closer to the coast. The entirety of south Alabama and northwest Florida is now involved in a Level 2 (out of 5) risk zone, meaning scattered severe storms will be possible. This risk extends westward into southern Mississippi and eastern Louisiana as well. There is hardly any doubt that we will have heavy rain at times across the region on Wednesday. The overall chance of severe weather (tornadoes/damaging winds) will be conditional on just how far north a warm front moves tomorrow in the late morning and early afternoon hours. If the warm front lifts to the northern part of our area as expected, it would put many of us in a volatile, somewhat unstable warm sector capable of supporting more in the way of severe storms. If the warm front stays near the coast or does not make it onshore (less likely scenario), then our area would have more in the way of heavy rain with lower chances of severe weather. Regardless of which scenario happens, I’ll be with you every step of the way in the RedZone Weather app tomorrow.

Please let me know if you have any questions or decision support needs. I’m here to help you with these questions! Below is the info that will debut publicly tonight with my next detailed post.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK INCREASES SLIGHTLY FOR WEDNESDAY… The overall risk of tornadoes and damaging winds has increased somewhat for Wednesday. The entire local area in south Alabama and northwest Florida is now involved in a Level 2 (out of 5) slight severe weather risk, meaning scattered severe storms will be possible, including the potential for a few tornadoes. In addition to the tornado risk, there also is a risk of damaging wind gusts, hail, and flash flooding. This means that all modes of severe weather will be possible on Wednesday.

LEVEL 2 (OUT OF 5) RISK FOR ALL OF LOCAL AREA… All locales in south Alabama and northwest Florida are now involved in the Level 2 (out of 5), slight severe weather risk valid for Wednesday. This means that scattered instances of strong to severe storms will be possible. Tornadoes, damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding are all concerns. This risk is in place south of a line from Butler to Camden to Fort Deposit to Eufaula. Some of the communities involved in this include: Mobile, Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Fairhope, Daphne, Orange Beach, Brewton, Atmore, Flomaton, Poarch, Monroeville, Uriah, Frisco City, Excel, Mexia, Beatrice, Tunnel Springs, Evergreen, Castleberry, Repton, Range, Lenox, Owassa, Brooklyn, Johnsonville, Forest Home, Greenville, Georgiana, McKenzie, Red Level, Andalusia, Opp, Florala, Pleasant Home, Straughn, Rose Hill, Thomasville, Grove Hill, Jackson, Coffeeville, Whatley, Gilbertown, Millry, Chatom, Wilmer, Prichard, Citronelle, Theodore, Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, Foley, Loxley, Spanish Fort, Bay Minette, Walnut Hill, Molino, Myrtle Grove, Perdido Key, Gulf Breeze, Milton, Pace, Chumuckla, Jay, Berrydale, Navarre, Bagdad, Crestview, Baker, Milligan, Holt, Harold, Laurel Hill, Niceville, Troy, Elba, Enterprise, Dothan, Geneva, Abbeville, and Samson.

TIMING – SEVERE STORMS LIKELY IN EVENING… While heavy rain will be possible intermittently thoughout the day on Wednesday, the core risk of strong to severe storms is likely to happen between 2PM and 10PM. That is the eight hour window when severe storms will be MOST likely to happen across our region. The storm mode on Wednesday may be “messy” with numerous areas of rain with storms mixed in.

TORNADO RISK GREATEST NEAR COAST… There will be at least some risk of a tornado or two across our entire region, but clearly the greatest risk will happen across coastal counties where the airmass will be potentially a bit more unstable. This means if you are in any part of Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, or Walton counties, your tornado risk will be a just a bit higher compared to communities farther inland.

DAMAGING WINDS & HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE… Gusty winds that could down a few trees will also be possible across the region. Unlike the last few severe weather events we have had since January, Wednesday will be a day when we may have large (up to golfball size, in the most extreme cases) hail. We encourage everyone to please take severe thunderstorm warnings seriously and get sheltered if one is required for your specific location.

HEAVY RAIN & FLASH FLOODING LIKELY… There is some chance that heavy rain and flash flooding could become the lead hazard on Wednesday. NWS Mobile has just placed the entirety of our local area under a Flash Flood Watch, as 3 to 5 inches of rain is in the forecast just for Wednesday. This rainfall will amass on already saturated soil that will quickly lead to flash flooding. We lose WAY too many people each year across America due to folks attempting to drive over water-covered roadways. The phrase is, “Turn around, don’t drown.” That will almost certainly apply at times on Wednesday.

FLASH FLOOD WATCH ON WEDNESDAY… The National Weather Service has placed ALL of our local area in a Flash Flood Watch valid until 11PM on Wednesday night. This Flash Flood Watch is in effect as we could have 3 to 5 inches of rain in total Wednesday with isolated higher amounts being possible. From NWS Mobile: “Soils remain saturated in the Flash Flood Watch area. Heavy rainfall rates in a short period of time from storms that are likely to move repeatedly over the same areas sets up an increased favorability for onset of flooding of urban and low-lying areas. Additional river rises may also worsen lingering ongoing river flooding [across west Alabama].”

HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS TO GET WARNINGS WEDNESDAY… We had a massive cellular and data outage over the last few days across parts of Escambia (AL) and Conecuh counties. This underscores the need to have redundancy in your severe weather plan. Please have more than one way to get urgent weather warnings, both for this potential event today and as we go into the heart of severe weather season later this month and into April. NOAA Weather Radio is a great backup to cell phone apps and vice versa. Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are also critical during severe weather events. You can visit your notification settings on your smartphone to make sure you have WEAs turned ON. These are sometimes labeled as “emergency alerts.”

TORNADO WARNING COVERAGE REMINDER… Any time there is an active tornado warning in effect for southwest Alabama or northwest Florida, we provide uninterrupted, live video coverage on Facebook Live and in the RedZone Weather app. Our detailed coverage commitment is outlined at redzoneweather.com/coverage. We are proud to cover all parts of Escambia (AL), Covington, Monroe, Conecuh, Baldwin, Mobile, Clarke, Washington, Butler, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties. If you live in any locale in those counties, be sure to tune into our coverage whenever there is an active tornado warning!

RAIN & STORMS THURSDAY MORNING… Rain will continue Wednesday night into Thursday morning. There could be a few thunderstorms around as late as Thursday morning, but the severe weather risk should be over by late Wednesday night. Model guidance has been consistent in suggesting rain will taper off midday on Thursday from west to east.

NICE WEATHER RETURNS FRIDAY… Sunshine finally returns on Friday into Saturday and Sunday! High temperatures each day will be in the mid- to upper-60s with morning lows around 40 degrees. Unfortunately, it appears this dry streak will be short-lived as more rain is in the forecast as we go into Monday of the upcoming week.

APP ALERTS… Many updates will be posted throughout the day in the RedZone Weather app. redzoneweather.com/app is the link for the free download. Be sure to visit the Alerts tab (bottom right corner) and tap the large, yellow “Alert Settings” button to customize the alerts you’d like to receive from me. If you like a lot of info, be sure to toggle ON Low-Level Alerts.

MULTIPLE WAVES OF ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD… RZW Exec partners, good Monday afternoon! We have multiple periods of active weather coming up over the next 48-72 hours. The first round of storms will happen Tuesday evening. For most spots, Tuesday will feature rain at times with the potential for heavy rain. There could, however, be a brief tornado or two across inland counties. The second, potentially more potent, round of storms will happen on Wednesday. The southern half of our local area is involved in a Level 2 (out of 5) slight severe weather risk zone on Wednesday, meaning scattered severe storms will be possible. Perhaps the biggest question on everyone’s mind is when will the rain and storms come to an end? The answer to that is Thursday, most likely midday when rain will clear out to the east of our area. If we happen to have tornado warnings at any point over the next 72 hours, be sure to join me on Facebook Live or in the Live tab in the RedZone Weather app. If you have specific decision support needs, please let me know. More details are below.

LOW-END SEVERE WEATHER RISK INLAND TUESDAY… There is a low-end chance that some of the storms that fire up later Tuesday evening into the overnight hours of Wednesday morning could briefly become strong or severe. That is why the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has included much of the northern half of our region in their low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) marginal severe weather risk valid for Tuesday afternoon into the evening hours. The concern is that we may have a brief tornado or two in addition to damaging wind gusts in the stronger storms.

HAZARD PLACEMENT TUESDAY: INLAND… SPC maintains a Level 1 (out of 5) low-end severe weather risk for inland parts of south Alabama valid Tuesday. If you’re in Monroe, Conecuh, Escambia (AL), Covington, Butler, Clarke, Washington, Choctaw, Wilcox, or Crenshaw counties, you are involved in this low-end risk. This includes Monroeville, Beatrice, Uriah, Frisco City, Excel, Repton, Range, Lenox, Owassa, Evergreen, Castleberry, Johnsonville, Brooklyn, Brewton, East Brewton, Flomaton, Atmore, Poarch, Huxford, Chatom, Fruitdale, McIntosh, Wagerville, Leroy, Gilbertown, Toxey, Silas, Butler, Thomasville, Jackson, Grove Hill, Coffeeville, Whatley, Greenville, Georgiana, Forest Home, McKenzie, Red Level, Andalusia, River Falls, Opp, Straughn, and surrounding areas.

WHAT TO EXPECT TUESDAY – STORMS AT TIMES… Intermittent showers and thunderstorms will be possible throughout the day on Tuesday. I expect the coverage of showers and storms to ramp up as we get into the afternoon and evening hours when storms have more instability in place.

STORMS FADE AWAY OVERNIGHT… Storms may linger into the evening hours, but I expect an overall lull in storms overnight into the early part of Wednesday morning. Rain and storm coverage will increase as we move toward dawn on Wednesday. As a course of least regret, I would have a way to receive urgent weather warnings Tuesday night before you go to sleep just in case we have a rogue storm or two ramp up, but I certainly am not expecting widespread issues in the overnight hours.

SLIGHTLY HIGHER SEVERE WEATHER RISK WEDNESDAY… Coastal areas in Alabama and northwest Florida are involved in a Level 2 (out of 5) slight severe weather risk valid for Wednesday, March 4 in the latest SPC convective outlook. There is a concern that a warm front may lift far enough inland/northward that part of our area near the immediate coast may be in the warm sector. This would allow strong to severe storms to happen, primarily in areas near the coast. Inland areas are involved in a low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) risk zone on Wednesday due to a chance of hail in the stronger storms.

TORNADO RISK NEAR THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY… The tornado risk on Wednesday will be conditional upon a warm front lifting northward into our area. There is still a chance, based on some model guidance, that the warm front may remain offshore, thus limiting the overall chance of severe weather. If you are in Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia (FL), Santa Rosa, or Okaloosa counties, you are involved in this slightly higher Level 2 risk area valid for Wednesday. This includes areas near Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Elberta, Magnolia Springs, Bay Minette, Loxley, Stapleton, Stockton, Mobile, Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Theodore, Dauphin Island, Wilmer, Mt. Vernon, Citronelle, Creola, Pensacola, Century, Molino, Walnut Hill, Warrington, Myrtle Grove, Milton, Pace, Jay, Chumuckla, Navarre, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Baker, and surrounding areas.

HEAVY RAIN & ALL DAY WASHOUT ON WEDNESDAY… Regardless of if your particular location has severe weather issues on Wednesday, there is a VERY high chance of rain across our area. It is pretty uncommon for me to say a day has a chance to be an “all day washout,” but Wednesday fits the qualifications for that. Heavy rain will be possible throughout the day. Flash flooding will be a concern, especially for inland areas of south Alabama. I expect temperatures to be stuck in the mid-60s all day Wednesday, except in areas near the coast that may be south of the warm front. Beach communities may have temperatures as high as the mid-70s Wednesday afternoon. Below are the projected rainfall totals through Thursday across our region.
