Perhaps a Little Relief

Perhaps there is a little relief from the heat on the way. Today is going to be another scorcher and tomorrow will be, too. But a weak front is expected to move through North and Central Alabama on Sunday afternoon and evening which should knock temperatures down to around 90. And with a corresponding drop of about 4 to 5 degrees in dew point, we should feel a little less cooked!

The main weather feature in the upper atmosphere will be a strong closed low which will move through the Great Lakes over the next several days, dragging a trough across the Southeast. After the trough passes and gets to our east by Monday, we should remain mostly dry through much of the upcoming week. Though an isolated shower could still occur. We’ll have to watch the timing on the movement of this weak front.

Also with the trough to our east, we will be under a northwesterly flow, so we’ll have to watch for development of large thunderstorm clusters off to our northwest. The GFS hints at this toward the latter part of the week.

In the long term, the ridge builds back into the Southeast, but the GFS gets an interesting look that could mean some wetter weather around the 11th or 12th.

Don’t forget to listen to our weekly 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. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
