We are monitoring a broad area of low pressure and associated showers and thunderstorms just offshore of west Florida. There is a medium (60% 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.
High temperatures in the low to mid 90s will combine with humid conditions to produce heat index values near 105 and a moderate to occasionally major heat risk. Daily showers and thunderstorms will be isolated to scattered in coverage.
