TROPICS: A broad area of low pressure located along the coast of eastern Mexico is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Development is not expected as the low moves farther inland over eastern Mexico during the next day or so.
The system could then re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf of America on Tuesday or Wednesday while interacting with a frontal boundary, but conditions there are expected to be only marginally conducive for development. Chance of development is only 20 percent.
Even though development isn't expected, deep tropical moisture from this disturbance will move across the Deep South late this week enhancing rain potential here.

TODAY: Today will be another very warm, humid day with scattered showers and thunderstorms, mostly this afternoon and tonight. It won't rain everywhere, and the highest coverage of afternoon showers will be over the northern half of the state. The high this afternoon will be close to 90 degrees.
THE WEEK AHEAD: A relatively unsettled pattern is setting up for Alabama and the Deep South with elevated rain chances through the week. Deep tropical moisture will move in from the southwest, and a couple of surface boundaries will be involved as well. Rain amounts of 3-5 inches are likely for much of Alabama during the week, and some flooding issues could be an issue along the way.
Heat levels will be much lower with highs in the low to mid 80s most days.
