Again today producing the video a little early due to a busy schedule.
THE WEEKEND: 12Z model data still suggests the best chance of scattered afternoon showers and storms will be over the western half of Alabama. So, the best of getting a little rain for the front yard tomorrow and Sunday should be along and west of U.S. 43, or west of a line from Florence to Fayette to Tuscaloosa to Demopolis. A few showers are possible to the east, but they will probably be widely scattered. Much of East Alabama most likely will be dry tomorrow and Sunday. High temperatures for the weekend should be in the 87 to 91 degree range, not too bad for mid-June in Alabama.
The really good rain will come west of Alabama, for places like Shreveport and Tulsa, closer to the upper trough over Texas.
NEXT WEEK: A weak front approaching from the north might trigger a few scattered afternoon storms during the first half of the week, but it looks like the best chance might be over the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama. Still no sign of any really widespread, beneficial rain for the state.
TROPICS: Very quiet in the Atlantic basin; tropical storm formation is not expected through early next week. Remember, the core of the hurricane season usually comes in August, September, and early October. We are very early in the season now.
Have a great weekend; Brian Peters will have the map discussion video tomorrow and Sunday... my next video will be bright and early Monday morning!
