Showery, Unsettled Weather
**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today due to travel**
RADAR CHECK: Showers and storms continue to move northeast across Alabama this afternoon…
The overall weather pattern won’t change much through tomorrow; mostly cloudy with occasional showers and thunderstorms. Severe weather is not expected, but heavy downpours are a good possibility from time to time in the tropical air over Alabama. The sky will stay generally cloudy, and the high tomorrow will be in the 80s.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Unsettled weather continues, but showers and storms will gradually become more scattered in nature, and there should be a few decent intervals of sunshine, especially over the weekend. Still, understand it will rain at times, and a few strong storms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will be close to 90 Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
NEXT WEEK: The weather will trend drier and hotter next week; highs will be at or just over 90 degrees, and showers and storms will be more widely spaced, and mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Models have hinted at cooler continental air trying to drop in here by Tuesday, but I have my doubts that will happen.
AT THE BEACH: About 3 to 5 hours of sunshine daily through Friday, and 6 to 8 hours of sunshine over the weekend from Panama City Beach over to Gulf Shores. Expect a few passing storms, and highs will be generally in the mid to upper 80s on the immediate coast, with low 90s inland. Sea water temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 80s.

TD 4: Tropical Depression Four is expected to become Tropical Storm Danny over the next 24 hours in the Atlantic, between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles…
The forecast from the National Hurricane Center brings it to hurricane strength by Friday…
It remains to be seen if this will survive and impact the Gulf of Mexico of the U.S. We will keep an eye on it in coming days; the rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.
