Storms Firing Up

The Friday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Storms continue to develop along the outflow boundary over north and west Alabama, but so far they have remained under severe limits. Would not be shocked if we had a severe thunderstorm warning or two day as the boundary slices into a hot and humid airmass.

The WRF suggests the northern half of the state will indeed be drier tomorrow and Sunday, and it looks like any showers or storms over the northern half of the state will be very isolated. Even in south Alabama afternoon storms will be scattered. Temperatures tomorrow and Sunday will rise into the 90 to 93 degree range, but with slightly lower dewpoints the heat shouldn't feel too bad.

For Monday moisture levels rise and a few scattered afternoon storms are likely, but they should be pretty much over by 9:00 or so when fireworks shows begin.

Will keep an eye on the tropical wave in the Caribbean... something might try to stir up down there over the weekend...

Watch the video for the details today... having to get into the office now to keep an eye on the developing thunderstorms this afternoon.

Have a great holiday weekend... be safe!
