Cooler, Less Humid Today
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
BREATH OF FRESH AIR: Usually weather here for the Memorial Day weekend is hot and humid, but not this year. A continental airmass rolls into our state today with a fresh north breeze; the high will be in the mid to upper 70s with lower humidity. Look for blue sky and sunshine all day… just doesn’t get any better.
ONE MORE VISIT TO THE 40s: We project a low in the 46-50 degree range for most places early tomorrow, with potential for low 40s across the colder valleys of North and Central Alabama. Birmingham’s record low for May 25 is 45 set in 1979… we will be close to that level. Next time we see 40s on a widespread basis, most likely, will be in October.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Sunny warm days, clear cool nights through Monday. Look for low 80s tomorrow, followed by mid 80s Sunday and Monday. Humidity levels begin to creep up a bit Sunday and Monday, but still amazingly comfortable for late May in Alabama.
And, we should stay dry basically all of next week with mostly sunny days. Highs will be mostly in the upper 80s, and humidity levels rise back to average levels. An upper ridge will keep rain producers well to the north and west, and the warmer air aloft should prevent afternoon showers from forming.
AT THE BEACH: Same story. Lots of sunshine each day through the weekend and next week. Highs on the immediate coast will be in the low 80s, and the sea water temperature early this morning at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 81 degrees.
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.

We are going on a holiday schedule… so with a nice quiet pattern we will produce just one video per day through Monday. Brian Peters will have the video updates tomorrow and Sunday… I will be back in the saddle on Memorial Day. Enjoy the weekend!
