Cool Nights, Pleasant Days

**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today due to travel**

THIS AFTERNOON: As expected, the sky has cleared over much of North and Central Alabama this afternoon after the rain has shifted to the south and drier air takes over.

We note the morning storms near the coast produced a number of waterspouts, like these over Mobile Bay…

DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER: Look for sunshine in full supply tomorrow and Friday, with low humidity and cool nights. Early morning lows will be around 50, but the cooler spots will easily visit the 40s. The high tomorrow will be in the upper 70s, and close to 80 on Friday.

MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND: The 12Z GFS is a little more aggressive with moisture return on Saturday; we will need to mention a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms by afternoon; those showers and storms should be a little more numerous on Sunday as the impulse now south of Texas gets closer. The weekend won’t be a wash-out, but we will have to dodge some rain at times. Looks like highs will be in the 75 to 80 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: We will need to maintain the chance of scattered showers and storms for the first half of next week as an upper low tries to cut-off over the Southeast U.S. Highs will be generally in the upper 70s. See the morning Weather Xtreme video for more details.

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.
