Certainly odd to see an area of concern in the month of April. This little swirl of clouds in the open waters of The Atlantic Ocean has a low (10%) chance of briefly becoming a named storm while remaining well away from land over the next day or so. pic.twitter.com/fHI9KpoZRY

The overall risk of rip currents is set to be HIGH this weekend into early next week. If you're headed to our local beaches and plan on getting into the Gulf, be aware of the higher risk. 🚩 pic.twitter.com/lhJgNbF2Ft

I’ve seen more disorganized systems than this be classified as a named storm! Fortunately, this is over the open ocean and well away from land areas. https://t.co/XGV9DviSHb

It's forecast to weaken by Thursday, but an "interesting" little low right now in the eastern Atlantic. Yet another reminder that we're nearing hurricane season. pic.twitter.com/wD81MmsUbJ

WEATHER RADIOS WORK… In addition to our free RedZone Weather app (redzoneweather.com/app), we encourage everyone to always have more than one way to hear warnings.
NOAA Weather Radio is a great option that doesn’t rely on cell towers! weather.gov/nwr
heavy smoke/fog is present near exit 28 on I-10 and on the escambia bay bridge.
Please use caution! @rzweather— morgan 🌪️ (@jmorgan_wx) April 24, 2024
NICE WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND… Pleasant weather is set to continue on this Wednesday and in the days ahead. Mostly sunny conditions will continue into the weekend.
High temperatures will consistently be in the low- to mid-80s over the next several days.
MOSTLY SUNNY WEDNESDAY; WEEKEND TO BE WARM & NICE… Today will be another day with plenty of sunshine across the region. A few passing clouds are likely, particularly farther inland across southwest Alabama. High temperatures will be in the upper-70s and low-80s this afternoon. A few highly isolated showers will become possible later today to our north. There is a fairly high chance all of the rain action stays well to our north, but there may be just enough moisture around to support one or two areas of sprinkles and showers, mainly in areas north of U.S. Highway 84. Most communities will be dry throughout the day.
SHOWERS POSSIBLE TO OUR NORTH THURSDAY… Tomorrow will feature more in the way of clouds across south Alabama and northwest Florida, making for a partly cloudy day. There still will be a good amount of sunshine in the mix. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-80s on Thursday.
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THIS WEEKEND… Partly cloudy skies are expected on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s with morning lows in the 60s by Saturday morning. No rain is in the forecast on Friday or Saturday and rain chances remain quite low for Sunday as well.
NEXT RAIN CHANCE: NEXT WEEK… Unlike this week, NEXT week will probably feature more in the way of rain and perhaps thunderstorms as well. It remains a bit too early for details to be resolved, but Monday and Tuesday may feature isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms.
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 Wednesday morning RedZone Weather forecast video. Have a great day!
EXCELLENT WEATHER ON THIS WEDNESDAY… More beautiful, blue sky weather is on tap for today!
High temperatures will be in the low-80s this afternoon. Sunset today is at 7:23PM.
Overnight lows will be in the low-50s farther inland with temperatures closer to 60° closer to the coast. Clear skies are expected overnight. 👍 pic.twitter.com/MTpv3TzC7c

ST. DOMINIC CATHOLIC SCHOOL… I am very much looking forward to speaking with the 3rd grade classes at St. Dominic Catholic School in Mobile, AL shortly. Time to discuss severe weather safety!
Beautiful Tuesday across the region! Temperatures have reached the mid-70s in many spots. ☀️

BEWARE OF RIP CURRENTS… Temperatures will warm up over the next several days, meaning more folks will head to the beach. Be aware that rip currents happen at ALL local beaches.
We are flying yellow flags in Orange Beach today – Tuesday, April 23rd. Yellow Flags represent a medium hazard and urge caution to anyone entering the Gulf. Morning view: Romar Beach Public Access. @spann #alwx pic.twitter.com/sw33pZ9DUB

BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY TUESDAY… A gorgeous, sunny day is ahead for south Alabama and northwest Florida. High temperatures will be in the upper-70s. Get outside and enjoy it!!
It is a bit chilly outside for a late April evening. Most spots are already in the 50s as of 10PM. We're headed to the mid- to upper-40s in many spots, particularly across inland areas of southwest Alabama. 🥶 pic.twitter.com/dF5ALOfEcB
