We are monitoring a broad area of low pressure and associated showers and thunderstorms just offshore of west Florida. There is a medium (40% chance) of gradual development over the next few days as the system drifts toward the northwest. Significant impacts to central Alabama are not forecast at this time. Check back daily for updates.
Temperatures will be on the rise as we head into the weekend into early next week. Look for high temperatures in the mid 90s, and heat index values above 100 degrees by next Tuesday. This will lead to a moderate to major heat risk across the region. Stay cool!
