Showers Hard To Find
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 CHECK: Basically no showers are in progress over the northern half of the state at mid-afternoon… a few widely scattered storms are in progress over the southern counties. These storms will fade away once the sun goes down later this evening.
Temperatures are well below the forecast levels by models; the deep soil moisture is making it hard for us to get into the 90… most spots are in the upper 80s…
REST OF THE WEEK: The upper ridge across the Deep South won’t change much through mid-week, so days will remain mostly sunny through Thursday with only isolated afternoon storms. The chance of any one spot getting wet each day will only in the 10-20 percent range, with most of the isolated showers coming between 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. Highs will be in the 89-92 degree range.
No serious change on Friday, only isolated afternoon showers with a high at or just over 90.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Still some evidence the ridge could be a little weaker, with a slow increase in the number of scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday. But still much of the weekend should be rain-free with a high between 89 and 92.
NEXT WEEK: An approaching surface boundary should bring an increase in the number of showers and storms early next week, with highs dropping back into the 80s. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
AT THE BEACH: Beautiful weather through the weekend from Panama City west to Gulf Shores; mostly sunny days and fair nights with only a few isolated storms along the way. Highs in the upper 80s on the immediate coast, with low 90s inland. Sea water temperatures are mostly in the low 80s.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected this week.
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 tonight at 8:30 CT… you can watch it on “James Spann 24/7” on cable systems around the state, or on the web here.
