WARMER TEMPS TODAY & FRIDAY; SLIGHTLY COOLER FOR THE WEEKEND… High temperatures will be in the mid 80s today and Friday with slightly cooler temperatures expected for the weekend after the passage of a cold front. Unfortunately, this frontal boundary probably won’t bring any meaningful rain to the local area. Fog and clouds around this morning will give way to mostly sunny skies this afternoon into this evening. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s today in communities north of Interstate 10. Places closer to the Alabama and northwest Florida beaches will be in the upper 70s for afternoon highs.

SLIGHTLY WARMER TOMORROW… High temperatures will surge into the mid 80s with some communities briefly hitting the upper 80s by 4PM tomorrow. Partly cloudy skies are expected on Friday. Rain showers will be possible in areas to our north across parts of Tennessee, north Mississippi, and north Alabama.

A BIT COOLER FOR THE WEEKEND… Mostly sunny skies are likely on both Saturday and Sunday with afternoon highs likely to be in the mid 70s each day. Overnight lows will be in the low 50s with upper 40s possible north of U.S. Highway 84.

MORE SUNSHINE EARLY NEXT WEEK… Temperatures rebound into the low 80s in the afternoon hours of Monday and Tuesday of the upcoming week. Mostly sunny skies are expected on Monday and Tuesday.

SIGNS OF RAIN TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK?… Big question marks exist regarding the setup toward the end of the upcoming week. There are early indications we may have a few rain showers around but it is impossible to know specific details this far out. Hopefully we will get some beneficial rainfall around that time as drought conditions continue to worsen across the region.

BECOMING MOSTLY SUNNY THIS AFTERNOON; DROUGHT WORSENS… Clouds and a few areas of fog this morning will clear out as we get into the midday and afternoon hours, meaning mostly sunny skies are likely this afternoon into the evening. Temperatures will peak in the low 80s in many spots across the region on this Wednesday. One or two highly isolated, brief rain showers will be possible this evening between 6PM and 9PM. Most communities will miss the rain and remain completely dry. Mostly clear skies are likely in the overnight hours extending into Tuesday morning. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 50s by 6AM Thursday morning. We have a streak of nice, sunny days coming up through the weekend. Great weather, but unfortunately, that means worsening drought conditions.

DROUGHT UPDATE… The latest guidance from the U.S. Drought Monitor continues to indicate that drought conditions are worsening across south Alabama and northwest Florida. The worst drought conditions locally are in an “extreme drought” zone, Level 3 out of 4 drought. This is highly uncommon for the local area. Much of northern Monroe, Butler, Conecuh, and eastern Escambia (AL) counties are involved in this drought zone. A large chunk of Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Covington, Butler, western Escambia (AL), and southern Monroe counties are involved in the Level 2 out of 4 drought zone, “severe drought.” Locations to the west in Baldwin, Clarke, Washington, and Mobile counties are mostly in the moderate drought zone. Regardless of which zone your community is involved with, we all desperately need rain. Unfortunately, very little rain is in the forecast.

NO RAIN IN SIGHT; BEAUTIFUL, SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND… While we do not have considerable drought relief in the forecast, we do have beautiful, sunny weather upcoming for the remainder of the week and into this weekend. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s on Thursday with upper 80s likely for many communities on Friday. The weekend will feature cooler temperatures with highs in the 70s on Saturday and Sunday. Overnight will be in the low 50s. Dry weather will persist into early next week.
