An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.

RAIN VERY HARD TO FIND: Looking at weather maps, sure looks like the rest of September will be relatively dry for much of Alabama and the Deep South. We will have a day or two with showers around, but the prospect of a major, soaking rain event isn’t look good.

REST OF THE WEEK: Mostly sunny warm days and fair pleasant nights will continue through Thursday. Friday, a passing front might set off a shower or two, but moisture will be extremely limited, and the chance of rain looks so small at this point that it doesn’t really make sense to include in the forecast. Highs will be at or just over 90, with lows generally in the 60s.

THE WEEKEND: No change. Lots of sunshine Saturday and Sunday with a high around 90. Lows remain in the 60s. And, this will be the story early next week as well. We are having a hard time finding any big chance of rain.

TROPICS: Hurricanes Igor and Julia will recurve east of the U.S… Igor could be close to Bermuda this weekend, but it should be in a weakening phase by then due to cooler water and shear. The wave in the Caribbean most likely will be upgraded to a tropical depression within the next few hours, then becoming Tropical Storm Karl as it moves into the Yucatan Peninsula. Then, Karl will emerge into the Bay of Campeche, with the next landfall along the Mexican coast well south of Brownsville, Texas. Igor, Julia, and Karl are no threat to the Central Gulf Coast. See the Weather Xtreme video for details.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 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. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
