Summer-like Air for the Next Week

Had a great time yesterday at Do Dah Day and at the community awareness event in Hokes Bluff. I just love getting out and talking with people about my favorite topic, the weather. Got another outing today with a talk at the Alabaster Library plus a visit to Montevallo Elementary School on Monday. My schedule is beginning to look a lot like the one Mr. Spann maintains.

Weather-wise we're going to be in a rather mushed out pattern for the next week. We'll be dealing with a weak boundary for the next couple of days that is lingering around North Alabama and Tennessee. That boundary was the focus for rain and some thunderstorms yesterday and is expected to be the focus again today.

By mid-week that boundary washes out but another one approaches. The main upper level support for the mid-week cold front will be well north of Alabama but with a fairly warm and humid air mass in place, we've begun that redundant forecast of mentioning a small possiblity of showers each day. Looks like the possiblity of showers is a bit higher on Wednesday and Thursday.

Interesting to see reports of tornadoes in the extreme northwest United States. No state in the US is immune from tornadoes, but the western section of the country has many fewer tornadoes that the eastern two-thirds of the country.

Hope your weekend continues to be a good one. Headed off to church and usher duties today.

Has anyone looked in the NW Caribbean this morning? The models may have on to something. Pressures are lowering. Shear is decreasing rapidly.
