This has been one of those days... seems like I have been running behind since 4:52 a.m. this morning!
BEACH TRIP: I have completed the annual "Spann's Best Way To The Bama Beaches" post... I will bump it up ahead of this one shortly.
AT THE BEACH: If you are headed down that way, look for lots of sunshine through the Memorial Day weekend; highs in the mid 80s and only a few isolated showers or storms. The water temperature along the immediate coast remains in the upper 70s.
AROUND HERE: Severe storms have blown up along the surface boundary well to the north of here; there is a moderate risk of severe storms this evening across parts of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. A slight risk extends down into extreme North Alabama; some storms could drift down toward the Alabama/Tennessee border later tonight.
Around here the radar is quiet, and seems like the capping inversion has things under control. Any showers this evening should be isolated.
TOMORROW: The surface front will hang up somewhere around I-40; it might be close enough for a slight increase in the coveage of afternoon storms, especially over the northern third of the state. Otherwise, another very warm (hot
and humid day with highs between 88 and 92.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: The surface front washes out; we will have hot and humid weather through Monday with a few widely scattered afternoon showers or storms possible each day. Highs stay between 88 and 92. Welcome to summer.
LONG RANGE: The "GFS bogus tropical storm of the day" is showing up south of Mobile around June 6, in the Gulf of Mexico. It moves into the western Florida panhandle the following day. Don't worry about it, it will probably be gone on the 00Z run.
The GFS also builds a nice upper trough over the eastern U.S. around June 9-11; I will believe that when I see it. If by chance it is correct, it means cooler air here.
I had a wonderful time out at Jeff State Community College today... a big crowd and a great lunch from the culinary school.
I will have the next map discussion video posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
