RADAR CHECK: A classic case of “isolated showers and storms” across Alabama this afternoon…
Most places are dry, and the weather is warm and hazy with temperatures in the 80s at mid-afternoon.
TOMORROW/THURSDAY: An upper low, now near Wichita Falls, Texas, will get closer to Alabama, and should bring a general increase in the number of showers and storms on these two days, especially over the western half of Alabama. The sky will be occasionally cloudy, and highs will be in the 80s. The best chance of showers and storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours, but we can’t rule out a late night or morning shower due to the upper low being close.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The upper feature west of the state will lift northeast and dampen out, and Alabama will remain in a warm, moist airmass. We will forecast routine late May and early June weather on these three days; mixed sun and clouds with the risk of a few scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs over the weekend should be in the 87 to 90 degree range.
No real change early next week.
AT THE BEACH: About 3 to 5 hours of sunshine tomorrow through Friday from Panama City to Gulf Shores, and there will be an increase in the number of showers and storms. The showers thin out this weekend with increasing amounts of sun. Highs on the immediate coast will be in the 80s, and sea water temperatures are close to 80 degrees now.
VOODOO LAND: The 12Z run of the GFS continues to hint at a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico in the June 5-8 range… this is still pure speculation at this point, but model consistency has been good. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. We will produce this week’s show Thursday night at 8:30 CT.
