Back To Weather As Usual

Tropical Depression Fred continues to move farther away from us. We’re returning to typical August weather conditions going forward. This means lots of sunshine along with pop up afternoon showers and storms. The sunny skies will help send temps into the 90s each afternoon. Those afternoon storms will be capable of brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. We finish…

Fred Bringing Breezy & Wet Condition Northward

Tropical Storm Fred is onshore and moving northeastward into the Florida panhandle. It will track into southeast Alabama tonight through early Tuesday morning. The greatest impacts will be seen across southeast Alabama. Most spots west of I-65 receive very little impacts from this tropical system. Areas to the east will have the potential to pick up 2 to 4 inches…

Hot Weekend Then Wet Early Next Week

This weekend is looking hot with temps managing low to mid 90s for highs. We could even approach the upper 90s in spots. Some areas will see an afternoon shower or storm. Not everyone will them but where they do occur you can expect some cooling relief from the heat. This will be the setup for both Saturday and Sunday….

Daily Repeat Of AM Sun PM Storms!

It continues to be a daily repeat of morning sunshine and then afternoon storms. We see this being the case through the upcoming weekend. That morning sun will help send temps into the lower 90s for highs. The daytime heating along with an ample supply of moisture will fuel showers and storms. Any of the storms that do develop will…

The Heat Goes On!

We’re in the midst of a typical hot and humid weather pattern. Temps continue to reach the lower to mid 90s for highs. We don’t see this changing anytime soon. Fortunately, there’s relief from the heat in the form of showers and storms. These will be common during the late afternoon heating. Storms that do develop will be capable of…

Typical August Heat & Humidity

There’s little change from day to day around here. The setup is mostly sunny early then scattered showers and storms through the afternoon. Temps remain hot with 90s likely until further notice. The heat indices are running 100 to 105 and that can be a danger to some. Just take it easy during the peak heating hours. Relief from the…

Typical Hot & Humid Setup This Week

Another week of typical hot and humid conditions for us! Temps will manage low to mid 90s for highs. It’s going to feel more like 100 to 105 when you factor in the humidity. There will be showers and storms developing each afternoon. These summertime storms will be capable of heavy downpours, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds. Fortunately, the…

Lower To Mid 90s Coming Back!

An old frontal boundary sits along the northern gulf tonight. The better chance of rain and storms will be along and south of that boundary. Any disturbances that do develop along the front will be capable of increasing our rain chances, especially over south Alabama. This will be the case through Saturday. High pressure strengthens over us Sunday into early…

High Temps Below Average For Now

A frontal boundary continues to sit over the northern gulf coast tonight. That’s where we see the better chance for showers and storms the next few days. Around here, it continues warm with those isolated afternoon showers and storms. Not everyone will see them but where they do occur you can expect heavy downpours. High temps remain below average for…

Trending Drier Midweek

We head into midweek with our weather a bit quieter compared to how we started out. A frontal boundary hovers over the northern gulf coast. It continues to be the focal point for new shower/storm development. Disturbances that ride along the boundary will help ignite a few showers or storms across our area at times. Although, rain chances will stay…
