Front Stalls Nearby

A frontal boundary will remain across the area through midweek. This boundary will be the focal point for showers and t-storms each day. We expect it to fizzle out and allow a drier air mass to move over us late week. In the mean time, scat’d showers and t-storms will pass through here. The main threats will be brief heavy…

Tropical Moisture Lingers

Gordon continues to weaken off to our west while the rain keeps coming here. The circulation around the tropical system is funneling gulf moisture into the state. This will lead to additional showers and t-storms Thursday. Looks like anything left of Gordon gets pulled farther away from us over the weekend. We begin to see fewer storms but there’s no…

Gordon Approaching Coast

Tropical Storm Gordon will make landfall somewhere along the Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana coast later tonight. Tropical outer bands to the east of the storm will have a greater impact on our southern and western areas. The main threats will be quick spin up tornadoes, strong wind gust, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning strikes. Everyone north and east can expect…

Summer Continues On

August will be finishing up hot and humid but there’s no big changes weatherwise ahead for the start of September. Over the next several days, temps will continue to climb into the 90s for highs. The higher humidity levels will make it feel more 100 degrees at times. The chance for scattered showers and t-storms remains fairly decent through Friday…

The Heat Is On !

You can continue to expect temps to reach the lower 90s for highs but when you factor in the humidity it will feel more like one hundred. Atlantic and some Gulf…

There will be a little relief at times with those late afternoon pop up showers and t-storms. Most miss out on them but where do occur you can expect brief heavy downpours,…

Temps will manage the lower 90s for highs while overnight its lower 70s. The rain activity will come as result of daytime heating. There could even be…

Chance for rain returns

High pressure continues to keep it dry and slightly milder around here but changes are coming our way soon. We have another fairly mild night ahead with temps dropping into the mid to upper 60s. This should feel nice as you head out the door Friday morning. The ridge of high pressure will be sliding more east of us and…

Dry For Now

High pressure becomes the main weather feature over the deep south for the next several days. Mostly sunny and dry conditions hold on through Thursday but moisture does come back and showers are possible by Friday. The dry air in place now will it feel rather nice in the morning hours. Both Thursday and Friday start out in the mid…
