Sun And A Few Storms

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.

A FEW STORMS OVER EAST ALABAMA: As expected, storms are pretty isolated across Alabama this afternoon. Most of them are east of I-65, and they are moving very little. And, like yesterday, we have a big downpour just northeast of downtown Birmingham.

Under the stronger storms, some localized flooding issues are possible because of the lack of motion. All of the storms will end soon after the sun goes down.

REST OF THE WEEK: The weather just won’t change very much as the upper ridge stays in place, and slowly weakens through Friday. We will probably see a slow increase in the number of afternoon storms late in the week, but they will still be pretty widely spaced. The sky will remain partly sunny each day with afternoon highs near, or just over 90 degrees. Another words, very classic mid-June weather.

THE WEEKEND: The air aloft should be colder, so scattered showers and storms will be a little more numerous Saturday and Sunday. Still, they will be scattered in nature, and there will be a decent amount of sun both days. Look for highs in the 88-91 degree range. Chance of any one spot getting wet both days will be about one in three.

The trend toward wetter conditions will continue early next week, and highs should drop back into the upper 80s Monday and Tuesday with scattered to numerous showers and storms around. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.

AT THE BEACH: We still expect a good supply of sunshine each day through the weekend for the stretch of coast from Panama City west to Gulf Shores with just a few isolated showers/storms. Highs in the upper 80s along the immediate coast, with low 90s inland. Sea water temperatures are up into the low and mid 80s now.

TROPICS: All remains quiet across the Atlantic basin and tropical storm formation is not expected through the 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.
