Afternoon Web Video Map Discussion, June 20

Video map discussion for Monday afternoon, June 20th, should be available at: http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb

I start the video with a beautiful image of a waterspout over Mobile Bay taken last Friday by Sandy Santoli. Great picture!!

Not much change in the weather pattern as the big high to our west inches closer and overpowers the pattern across the southeastern United States. So we stay essentially dry for much of the next seven days. Sure glad we got some rain from Arlene. Grass watering looks to be in my future! And temperatures keep climbing with highs in the lower 90s by the latter part of the week.

The east coast trough pulls out to the northeast according to the GFS. However, the GFS leaves a small remnant behind that can be identified in the GFS forecasts all the way out beyond a week. It will be interesting to see if the GFS is correct with that feature. I must admit that it seems a little strange to be able to identify that feature that far into the future, but stranger things have happened.

Hope you've had a good Monday. I'm still recovering from a great City Stages weekend. The weather sure was spectacular for the festival.
