Blanket Of Moist Air Hangs Around

| May 28, 2015 @ 6:19 am

AT DAYBREAK: All is quiet across Alabama this morning; the sky is cloudy and temperatures are between 65 and 70 degrees at most places. There is some light rain around Huntsville, otherwise the rest of the state is dry as the day begins.

Another round of showers and storms is a good possibility this afternoon; not sure the rain will be as widespread as yesterday, but no doubt at least scattered showers and storms will form this afternoon in the moist environment across the state. The best chance of showers and storms will come in the 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. time frame, and while a strong storm is certainly possible, organized severe weather isn’t expected. The high today should be in the low 80s in most spots.

TOMORROW THROUGH SUNDAY: The overall pattern just won’t change much. Warm, humid days with a mix of sun and clouds, and each day the risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms, most likely during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will be in the mid 80s, right at average values for the end of May. Showers and storms will tend to be pretty random; the chance of any one spot getting wet each day is around one in three.

And, that kind of weather will continue through much of next week as meteorological summer begins. Very routine for early June in Alabama. If you are new to our state, you might want to read this essay I wrote about summer weather forecasts here.

TROPICS: The Atlantic hurricane season begins Monday of next week, and the GFS is showing some hints of tropical mischief in the eastern Gulf of Mexico in about a week… see the Weather Xtreme video for maps and details.

GULF COAST WEATHER: About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine each day along the coast from Panama City west to Gulf Shores through early next week, with the daily risk of widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs on the immediate coast will stay in the low 80s, and the sea water temperature early this morning at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 79 degrees.
