MOSTLY CLOUDY AGAIN TODAY; RAIN & STORMS SUNDAY… Skies will remain cloudy for much of the day on this Thursday. Just like yesterday, a sprinkle or two cannot completely be ruled out, but the vast majority of the local area will be dry. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-80s today. Most locales will warm into the mid- to upper-80s tomorrow as we will have more sunshine in the mix compared to today. Our next considerable chance of rain, and perhaps a few thunderstorms, will happen Saturday evening into Sunday. Multiple rounds of rain will be possible this weekend.
PATCHY FOG TO FADE LATER THIS MORNING… Heads up if you’re on the road this morning: There may be patchy areas of dense fog across the region until 9-10AM. Take it slow if you’re headed out early this morning. Fog will be possible again tomorrow morning as well.
PARTLY CLOUDY FRIDAY; RAIN POSSIBLE SATURDAY… Tomorrow will feature less in the way of cloud coverage across south Alabama and northwest Florida. More peeks of sunshine are likely throughout the day. High temperatures will be at the warmest values of the week with most spots peaking in the upper-80s by 3PM. Some communities closer to the immediate coast will peak in the mid- to upper-70s. Cloud cover increases again on Saturday ahead of rain becoming possible Saturday evening.
RAIN & STORMS LIKELY ON SUNDAY… Scattered showers and thunderstorms are becoming more likely on Sunday. Multiple disturbances will move across our area this weekend, prompting multiple rounds of rain and storms. While some of the rain will happen late Saturday evening, it looks like the majority of the rain will happen on Sunday. If you have outdoor plans on Sunday midday, afternoon, and in the evening hours, have an indoor backup plan. The good news is I do not see parameters supporting widespread severe weather with this event, although general (non-severe) thunderstorms are likely at times in the afternoon hours.
FEW LINGERING SHOWERS EARLY MONDAY; CLEARING LATER IN DAY… Monday will feature clearing skies throughout the day. I cannot completely rule out a few showers early in the morning hours, but much of the day on Monday should be dry. High temperatures on Monday will be in the mid-70s.
MAINLY SUNNY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY… Sunshine is set to return on Tuesday of the upcoming week with more sunshine in store for Wednesday as well. High temperatures will be in the low-80s on Tuesday with mid-80s likely on Wednesday. Overnight lows will be in the mid-50s.

MAINLY CLOUDY TODAY; FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE… Today will be quite similar to yesterday in that we will have mostly cloudy skies throughout the day with a low-end (not zero!) chance of a few sprinkles and showers around.
High temperatures will be in the mid-80s.
Have a nice Thursday!

STORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY… Isolated sprinkles and light rain will be possible throughout the day on this Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the 80s today and over the next several days.
Storms will be possible Sunday. Won’t be an “all day washout,” but isolated storms are likely.
MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY; FEW SPRINKLES POSSIBLE… Skies will remain mostly cloudy for much of the day on this Wednesday. High temperatures will continue to be quite warm for mid-April with most spots peaking in the mid-80s by 3PM. A few areas of sprinkles or light rain may become possible today but MOST locales will remain dry. Tomorrow will essentially be a “carbon copy repeat” of today with cloudy skies, warm temperatures, and low rain chances. Thunderstorms are not expected locally today. Our next significant chance of rain and thunderstorms is slated to happen on Sunday.
LOW-END SEVERE WEATHER RISK TO OUR NORTH… The northern half of Alabama, along with much of Tennessee and Kentucky, is involved in a low-end, Level 1 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid for today into tonight. The hazards of concern will be gusty winds and hail. There is no organized, significant tornado risk across north Alabama today. Strong to severe storms will also be possible to the north across parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky today.
CLOUDS TO PERSIST INTO THURSDAY… Mostly cloudy skies are likely to continue into Thursday. High temperatures will once again be in the low- to mid-80s tomorrow. Rain chances will continue to be quite low, but perhaps not completely zero with a few sprinkles and light rain being possible.
WARM TEMPS INTO THE WEEKEND… High temperatures will be in the 80s again on Friday and Saturday. Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy each day. Rain chances remain near zero on Friday and quite low on Saturday.
RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY… Our next round of more active weather is slated to happen on Sunday as rain and thunderstorms become likely across south Alabama and northwest Florida. For now, the overall risk of severe weather on Sunday remains quite low, but loud thunderstorms will be possible at times.

MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY… Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day on this Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-80s.
Sprinkles and areas of light rain may be possible throughout the day, but I expect MOST communities across our region to remain dry.
Have a nice Wednesday!

Beautiful afternoon is in progress across south Alabama and northwest Florida. Temperatures are in the upper-70s and near 80°.

WARM TEMPS THROUGH SATURDAY… Warm temperatures are here to stay, at least until Sunday. Highs will be in the 80s through Saturday. Rain and storms will be possible on Sunday.
INCREASING CLOUDINESS TODAY; RAIN RETURNS SUNDAY… Skies will gradually shift from mostly sunny to mostly cloudy later today as clouds stream in from the southwest. Take it easy if you’re driving this morning as there are several communities with dense fog in place. Patchy areas of dense fog this morning will burn off by 9-10AM. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s in most communities this afternoon. Skies will generally remain mostly cloudy tomorrow and Thursday but I am not expecting rain until the weekend.
SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY… Friday and Saturday will likely be dry ahead of increasing chances of rain on Saturday night into Sunday. Thunderstorms will be possible ahead of an advancing cold front that will knock down temperatures from the mid-80s on Saturday to the mid- to upper-70s on Sunday. Highs on Monday of the upcoming week may very well only be near the 70 degree mark. For now, the overall risk of any severe storms on Sunday continues to seem rather low.

WARM, NICE WEATHER WEEK… Other than passing clouds in the days ahead, our weather pattern across south Alabama & NW Florida is likely to be dry as an upper ridge of high pressure diverts most of the impactful weather north & west of the Deep South.
Temperatures will be in the 80s each day this week.
MOSTLY SUNNY, NICE MONDAY; DRY WEATHER TILL WEEKEND… Mostly sunny skies are expected across the region on this Monday. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-80s in most locales with the exception of places right along the beaches and bays that will be in the upper-70s this afternoon. No rain is in the forecast anywhere close by today, tomorrow, or on Wednesday. We will have passing clouds at times each day this week, but no impactful weather is likely other than areas of dense fog being possible in the morning hours. This morning, observations show fog being quite dense in some communities across the region. Dense fog should burn off by 9-10AM.
NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN: SUNDAY INTO MONDAY… Scattered showers and perhaps a few thundursrtoms will become possible on Sunday into Monday, one week from today. It is a bit too early for specifics but right now, parameters seem rather unsupportive of any significant severe weather potential. We are in the peak of our severe weather season, so any system that rolls through our region must be watched carefully. I would imagine we will have some changes in the forecast in 5-7 days so be sure to check back for updates as we get closer to our next chance of rain and thunderstorms.
