SUMMARY: The Storm Team forecast indicates two hurricanes in the central Atlantic and another system off the West African coast, though none pose a threat to the News 5 area. A Gulf system is expected to impact the Florida Peninsula, potentially developing into a tropical depression or storm by Monday. In local weather, temperatures are around 73°F in Downtown Mobile, with scattered cloud cover and mild conditions. A slight chance of brief showers exists along the coast today, with afternoon highs in the mid-80s. A frontal change by next week will bring drier, cooler weather and lower humidity.

After a wet day Friday, we will keep the cloud cover today but have limited rain chances this weekend. We start this morning with temperatures at around 70°, and we will warm into the mid-80’s by the afternoon. A few showers are possible mainly in our coastal spots, and we will keep mostly cloudy skies. Tonight, we will drop back to around 70° with scattered cover continuing. Sunday will bring more of the same besides more breaks in the clouds by the second half of the day. Once a cold front can dive south and through the area by Monday evening, we will see drier conditions for much of next week with highs in the low-80’s and lows dropping to around 60°. That front will keep any tropical activity to the south of the News 5 area. In the tropics, we are tracking Kirk and Leslie which are both hurricanes in the central Atlantic, but these do not pose a threat to our area. There is a new area off the west coast of Africa that has a low chance of formation, and it also does not pose a threat. The last area is in the Gulf of Mexico, and there is a high chance that a tropical system will form in the next week. A frontal boundary over northern portions of the Gulf will keep this on an easterly track towards the Florida peninsula.
