SUMMARY: Today will be breezy with wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph and temperatures reaching the low 70s in Peach Country and close to 80 degrees in Clanton. While some eastern areas may not warm up beyond the mid-70s due to clouds, western locations like Tuscaloosa are expected to hit 81. Spotty showers are possible on Tuesday and Wednesday, with more rain likely depending on an uncertain tropical system developing in the Caribbean that may approach the Gulf. The seven-day forecast shows mild temperatures near 80 throughout the week, along with limited rain chances.

Breezy and warm for Alabama as we watch for what could be Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf later this week.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center has issued advisories for Potential Tropical Cyclone 18, currently located in the southwestern Caribbean Sea with winds at 35 mph. It may develop into a tropical storm by midnight and is expected to strengthen as it moves northeast, impacting Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba with heavy rain and potential mudslides. It could reach Category 1 hurricane status as it approaches the Gulf of Mexico, but will likely weaken due to dry air and shear. Forecast models show varying landfall predictions, with uncertainty about its final path. Local weather remains calm with temperatures dropping tonight.

SUMMARY: The weather forecast indicates some subtle changes with breezy conditions today due to increasing southeast winds. Rain is expected next week, primarily from Tuesday onward, with spotty showers likely. A tropical system in the Caribbean, currently disorganized, is being monitored as it moves northward, potentially impacting the Gulf of Mexico. The Hurricane Hunters are set to investigate this system, which may become a depression soon. While it could bring rain to parts of Florida and Alabama by late next week, it’s not expected to be a major storm. Tuesday’s forecast calls for muggy conditions and partly cloudy skies.

Tropical weather could impact Alabama’s forecast as Invest 97L may become Tropical Storm Rafael next week.
