7 AM ET 6/1 - We're not expecting widespread showers & storms today like we've seen over the last few days. This will allow afternoon temps to remain hot, increasing our heat risk with minor to moderate impacts likely. Take precautions to prevent heat-related illness. ☀️

5:30 AM ET 5/28: A messy, unsettled pattern continues through early next week. Keep the umbrellas and raincoats handy as rain chances remain very high into early next week. Some heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds are possible in the stronger storms. #ALwx #FLwx #GAwx

👀 See someone caught in a #RipCurrent?

📞 Instead - Call 911 and throw them a flotation device

4/24/26, 6 am ET. Although some rain is returning to the forecast this weekend, the forecast amounts are generally under an inch. This will do very little to alleviate our ongoing significant drought, although the rain will be welcome in areas that see it. #FLwx #GAwx #ALwx
