Dry Tomorrow; Storms Again By Friday
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
RADAR AT MID-AFTERNOON: Very little echoes over the northern counties of Alabama; just a few isolated showers have formed in the general area between Cullman and Decatur. The majority of the showers and storms are over the southern half of the state, south of Montgomery. Drier air will slowly creep into the our state tonight, and the showers will fade away pretty quickly once the sun goes down.
TOMORROW AND THURSDAY: Tomorrow looks dry, with a good supply of sunshine and a high around 90. Most of the day Thursday should be dry as well, with a high in the low 90s and a partly sunny sky. We might consider a slight chance of a shower Thursday afternoon as moisture begins to return.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: We will have to dodge raindrops at times. An upper trough will become established over the eastern U.S. again, with a surface front very slowly approaching from the north. This will mean scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms on these three days… potential for more beneficial rain, and it will also keep temperatures below average thanks to the clouds and showers. The sun might peek out at times, but don’t expect very much this weekend.
NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS brings down drier air into Alabama early next week on Monday and Tuesday; this solution would suggest lower humidity levels and cooler nights along with a good supply of sunshine both days.
AT THE BEACH: You will have a mix of sun and storms every day through the weekend; each day the chance of any one spot getting wet from Panama City to Gulf Shores will run in the 30 to 50 percent range, with about 4 to 6 hours of sun each day. Highs will stay generally in the upper 80s, and the sea water temperatures remain mostly in the mid 80s.
TOPIC: TROPICS: The remnant thunderstorm mass associated with former Tropical Depression 7 will move into Central America tonight. Another disturbance over the Central Atlantic has become better organized, and has the potential to become a tropical depression or storm within the next 48 hours, but it will recurve harmlessly into the open Atlantic and is no threat to land. See the Weather Xtreme video for more details.
