SUMMARY: Tropical storm Gordon is moving west in the Atlantic but does not threaten the Gulf Coast. Another non-tropical low near Georgia may develop subtropical characteristics, posing a medium chance for heavy rain and gusty winds along the East Coast. The remnants of tropical storm Francine will bring isolated flash flooding risks to parts of the region, especially northern areas. Tomorrow, a 40% chance of showers and storms is expected, leading to cooler temperatures in the mid-80s. Rain chances will persist into early next week before drier air arrives, raising temperatures again toward the week’s end.

Isolated showers will be possible into this evening, and brief showers will be possible overnight. Lows will sit at around 70 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Sunday will stay with morning isolated showers, and they will become a bit more scattered into the afternoon and evening. Thanks to extra clouds and shower chances, highs will only reach into the mid-80’s for most spots. This is thanks to an area of low pressure that was Francine and an associated boundary diving south closer to the News 5 area. They will bring higher rain chances for Monday and more scattered showers and a few brief storms for Tuesday as well. Rain chances will slowly drop late Tuesday and into Thursday as the front moves offshore. Highs will sit in the low- to mid-80’s through Wednesday before warming back to more seasonable temperatures by the weekend. In the tropics, we continue to track Gordon and one other area. Gordon is a tropical storm and is several hundred miles east of the Windward and Leeward Islands. It will see fluctuations in strength and will eventually move north. It does not pose a threat to our area. The other area to watch is off the coast of GA and the Carolinas. It could form subtropical characteristics or become a depression before pushing inland, but regardless it will bring windy conditions to that area as well as rough surf and downpours. It also does not pose a threat.

SUMMARY: This Sunday, temperatures in Alabama are expected to reach around 90°F, significantly warmer than usual for this time of year. The region, which recently experienced heavy rain, is drying out quickly. Skies are mostly clear, allowing temperatures to rise into the upper 80s. A potential weather system in the Caribbean carries a 30% chance of development, with models showing varying predictions, including possible storms approaching Alabama in the coming days. In the short term, expect hot afternoons, making it a good time for outdoor activities, but don’t forget sunscreen. Cooler conditions may arrive next weekend.
