SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports that a tropical system is likely to develop in the Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico this week, with potential impacts for the Gulf Coast. While other systems in the Atlantic pose no threat, the one being monitored (invest 97L) shows a medium chance of development within 48 hours. Organizing thunderstorms are forming over the Caribbean, and data from Air Force and NOAA flights will provide more information soon. Potential impacts could affect areas along the Alabama coastline and the Florida Panhandle, particularly around Appalachicola and Panama City. Updates will be provided as the situation evolves.

In the tropics we are tracking two areas. One of them is in the central tropical Atlantic and will likely develop over the next several days as it has a medium chance for formation. It does not pose a threat to the News 5 area. Another is in the northwestern Caribbean and in the southern Gulf. A broad area of low pressure has developed in part of the northwestern Caribbean and will move into the southern Gulf by the early/middle part of this week. It is still uncertain where exactly the more defined area low pressure will develop, how strong it will get, and the exact track. Once the center of circulation begins to develop, we will have a better idea of where this system will move. For now, make sure you have a tropical plan and stay updated with all the latest here on WKRG.

SUMMARY: Alabama faces a very dry September with hot afternoons continuing through the last week of summer before the autumnal equinox. Sunday begins comfortably cool in the 60s, warming to low 90s by mid-afternoon under mostly sunny skies. A weak wave may bring a few showers tonight, mainly to northwest Alabama, but widespread rain is unlikely. Temperatures will remain above average, hitting mid-90s Tuesday and Wednesday. By next weekend, a trough and front may increase cloud cover and rain chances slightly, potentially lowering temperatures closer to average. Overall, the forecast calls for persistent dry and warm conditions into next week.
