SCATTERED STORMS TODAY, TONIGHT, INTO FRIDAY MORNING… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will bring beneficial rain to south Alabama and northwest Florida today, tonight, into Friday morning. While I am not expecting rain all day in any given community, we will have intermittent rain and storms at times in the hours ahead. There is a low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk in place across the entire local area today, primarily driven by a low-end chance of gusty winds in the strongest of the storms. The overall tornado risk today remains very low. High temperatures on this Thursday will be in the mid 80s. Rain will likely clear out by Friday evening, paving the way for a nice weekend with high temperatures in the 80s. We’re tracking newly designated Tropical Storm Humberto along with another tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean today. Details are below.

STORM TIMING – TODAY INTO TONIGHT… There is not a specific window for severe thunderstorms to be more intense with this passing system. Instead, we’re looking at intermittent, hit or miss showers and thunderstorms over the next 24 hours. Rain and thunderstorms will be possible today, this evening, and into tonight. I will have updates posted throughout the day and into this evening, as needed, in the RedZone Weather app.

TOTAL RAIN AMOUNTS – NEAR 1 INCH FOR MOST COMMUNITIES… Some communities will get much less and some may get up to 2″, but MOST communities across the region will pick up around 1 inch of total rainfall over the next 24-36 hours. Nuisance-type flooding may become possible IF storms train over the same areas, but because most spots have been so dry over the last number of weeks, widespread, intense flash flooding is not expected with this event.

A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS TOMORROW; CLEARING IN EVENING… Showers and a few thunderstorms may be possible tomorrow (Friday) morning and into the early afternoon hours. Most, if not all, of the rain should be to our east by 4-5PM on Friday, meaning most of the high school football games across the region tomorrow evening should be dry.

BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND COMING UP… Mostly sunny skies are expected on both Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s each day with morning lows in the low 60s. We will have a really nice weekend across south Alabama and northwest Florida – perfect for any outdoor activities!

TROPICS: TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO & TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IN ATLANTIC… We have a complex setup coming together in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean due to not one, but two tropical systems. One tropical wave is located near Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. This disturbance has an 80% chance of becoming a named tropical storm near The Bahamas. We are also now tracking Tropical Storm Humberto, located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles. The forecast for either or both of these systems could get murky in a hurry due to just how close each system is to the other. One system may become dominant and cause the other to fade out OR both systems may develop and interact with one another. The Fujiwhara Effect happens when two tropical storms or hurricanes get close to one another and start interacting, sometimes in a circular motion. We’ll see if a Fujiwhara interaction happens or if one system develops and causes the other to fade. Interests along the East Coast of the U.S. (particularly the Carolinas) and Bermuda should closely monitor the progress of both developing systems. Humberto and the tropical wave probably will never be a direct threat to Alabama or northwest Florida.

TROPICS: GULF & CARIBBEAN TO REMAIN QUIET OVER THE WEEKEND… The Gulf and Caribbean Sea remain quiet with no tropical storms expected to form today, tomorrow, or this weekend. Great news!

TROPICS: HURRICANE GABRIELLE PROMPTS HURRICANE WARNING FOR AZORES… Hurricane Gabrielle, now rapidly moving ENE at 25 mph across the northern Atlantic Ocean, has prompted a Hurricane Warning for the Azores islands in the eastern Atlantic. This is because the decaying core of Gabrielle will pass through the Azores later today into tonight. Tropical storm conditions are likely through the Azores and there is a chance some of the islands may have hurricane force winds. Gabrielle will weaken and become an extratropical storm before bringing rain to parts of Portugal and Spain this weekend.
