Sun and 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.
SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS: Again today the classic case of “scattered afternoon thunderstorms” on a summer day in Alabama. The storms are moving slowly to the southeast, and they will fizzle out as soon as the sun goes down later this evening.
TOMORROW AND SUNDAY: No major changes… we will forecast a mix of sun and clouds both days, with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. While the best chance of a shower will come during the afternoon and evening hours, we can’t totally rule out the risk of a morning shower, especially tomorrow. Showers and storms could be a little fewer in number Sunday over North and East Alabama thanks to a temporary intrusion of drier air. Highs over the weekend will be at or just over 90 degrees in most spots.
NEXT WEEK: The upper high will move well to the west of Alabama, which will open the door for increased shower/thunderstorm activity across the state Monday through Friday. We will have some decent intervals of sunshine along the way, but it looks like just about every day we will deal with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. And, with the increased clouds and showers, highs will drop back into the mid to upper 80s on most days. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
AT THE BEACH: About 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each day through Monday from Panama City to Gulf Shores with a few scattered showers and storms around. Showers and storms will become a little more numerous by the middle of next week. Highs along the immediate coast will be in the upper 80s, with low 90s inland. The sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab this afternoon is a toasty 89.6 degrees (F).
TROPICS: All remains quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected across the Atlantic basin through next 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.
