Posting a little early today; the 12Z is in the house and I have a break here at my "second" job working children's ministry at Hunter Street during Summer Quest. Thanks to our church techincal staff for the great wi-fi coverage on the campus!
I know I have been pushing the idea of relatively dry weather for the rest of June, and I think that is still generally the case. But, the GFS continues to trend a little wetter for the weekend and early next week. That is a good thing; we need some rain. Understand I am not talking about some kind of widespread, all-day rain, but scattered showers and storms seem more likely by Saturday and Sunday.
SHORT TERM: Lots of sunshine tomorrow and Friday with afternoon temperatures reaching the low 90s.
WEEKEND: A rather stong upper trough for early June continues to look better on model output, and should being some very welcome and beneficial rain to the I-35 corridor from Dallas/Fort Worth north to Oklahoma City and Wichita. Around here, low level moisture will increase with southerly winds, and the upper trough approaching from the west will mean a chance of scattered, mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms on Saturday and Sunday. The most numerous showers and storms should be over the western half of the state, closer to the upper trough. Looks high temperatures over the weekend will be near or a little above 90 degrees for most communities.
NEXT WEEK: With the lingering upper trough to the west and a weak surface front to the north, scattered showers and storms will remain possible Monday and Tuesday, but the ridge rebuilds by Wednesday and Thursday.
ALBERTO: NHC has issued the final advisory on Alberto since the system has lost tropical characteristics, but the weather will still be windy and wet around Baltimore and Washington, D.C. this afternoon as the system moves northeast. Interesting to note the NHC track takes the remmant storm all the way to Scotland early next week!

And, I am looking for volunteers to join our new Skywatcher program ESPECIALLY in these counties:
Pickens, Lamar, Sumter, Greene, Marengo, Hale, Bibb, Winston, Walker, Blount, Cherokee, Cleburne, Randolph, Clay, Coosa, Chilton, Perry, and Tallapoosa. It would also be nice to have some on with us in far Eastern Mississippi. Our new Skywatcher team communicates with us via an Instant Message conference in real time; this is a very exciting concept in getting YOU involved in our weather operation. See this post for more information:

Is this not an oxymoron?
"an ocean of children and a ton of fun! "
