Hot Weekend Ahead...
* This weekend sure looks HOT! Temperatures tomorrow in most communities will easily reach the upper 90's, and a 100 degree reading or two is not out of the question. Throw in the humidity, and it will feel every bit of 100 degrees across all of our area. Sunday will be hot as well, with more middle to upper 90's.* TROPICS: An area of disturbed weather continues to get better organized in the far western Caribbean Sea. This will likely become a tropical depression in the next 12 to 24 hours, and could be come a tropical storm over the weekend.
* If it does become a tropical storm, it will be named Alberto. While the forecast is still a bit murky, our best effort is that this will track north into the southern Gulf of Mexico, then curve northeast towards central Florida...making landfall somewhere between Apalachicola and Tampa. Shear increases over the northern Gulf, so anything moving in that direction will likely weaken a bit as it approaches land.
* BOTTOM LINE: A tropical storm may form in the western Caribbean Sea. It's very unlikely that this will become an intense hurricane, and it appears at this point that it will pass well to our east. But, expect the unexpected when dealing with tropical weather. We'll keep a close eye on things over the weekend and will update this space frequently.

It's that time of year my friend. If history has anything to say, this will become a "strong tropical A-named storm" that hits Pensacola bringing rain and gusty winds of 25 miles per hour. Perfect weather for a night at McGuires. "Kiss the moose"
