One More Nice Day

THIS AFTERNOON: What a delightful day across Alabama. A bright sunny sky, low humidity, and comfortable temperatures, mostly in the mid 70s.
Look for another cool night tonight… by daybreak tomorrow we expect low in the 50-54 degree range, but the colder spots will reach the 40s again.
Tomorrow will be dry with a good supply of sunshine and a high in the low 80s. Some high cirrus clouds could reach West Alabama tomorrow afternoon, blowing away from storms that will be in progress to the west.
WEEKEND FORECAST: The disturbance responsible for severe storms over South Texas this afternoon will weaken and approach slowly from the west. This, along with a marked increase in precipitable water, will bring the chance of showers and storms back to Alabama over the weekend. Both the 12Z NAM and GFS have come in wetter for Saturday, and we will need to mention scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms both days, with very little sun. While we don’t expect any significant severe weather risk, the rain will be pretty significant and beneficial. The guys at HPC (the Hyrdometeorological Prediction Center) have upped their rain forecast for Alabama, suggesting the state will see 2 to 4 inches of rain Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of next week. Afternoon temperatures, most likely, won’t get out of the 70s due to the clouds and rain.
NEXT WEEK: The weakness aloft remains over Alabama for the first half of next week while slowly dissipating. This means a continued risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday through Wednesday, with coverage slowly decreasing each day. See the Weather Xtreme video for details and all of the graphics that go along with this discussion.
