A Few Storms Later Today
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.
SUN AND STORMS: It is that time of the year when weather changes in Alabama tend to be rather subtle.. we will pretty much see the same kind of weather each day through Friday. Days begin mostly sunny… the you see the towering cumulus clouds by late morning, and a handful of slow moving showers and storms show up by afternoon. The storms will be scattered, like recent days, and many neighborhoods won’t get wet. But, if you get under one of the storms, you could see heavy rain due to the slow movement.
Afternoon highs will remain generally in the 90-93 degree range thanks to an upper high across the Deep South.
OUR WEEKEND: No big changes, although the number of afternoon storms could increase a bit Saturday and Sunday as the ridge begins to weaken slowly. Expect a mix of sun and clouds both days with a high near, or just over 90 degrees in most spots. The chance of any specific point getting wet both days is about one in four.
NEXT WEEK: The air aloft should be a bit cooler, meaning the air will be a little more unstable. This, in turn, should mean a slow increase in the number of scattered showers and storms. Heat levels drop a bit, with highs for the first half of the week in the 88-91 degree range. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
VOODOO LAND: The GEFS ensemble hints temperatures could continue to trend downward later this month and into early July…
GULF COAST WEATHER: Still looking great through the weekend; mostly sunny days, fair nights, and just a few widely scattered storms. Highs on the immediate coast will be in the upper 80s, with low 90s inland. The sea water temperature this morning at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is a warm 85 degrees.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet 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.
