Anyone remember this song from the 70s?
"Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart"
Today won't feel like a heat wave, it IS a heat wave. Sure looks like most spots will go into the 95 to 100 degree range today with lots of sun and very little soil moisture. I have 94 in the forecast package for today right now, and that needs to be raised. The heat will probably be just as intense tomorrow. And, the chance of a cooling shower in the afternoon for any one spot is tiny.
SEARCHING FOR RAIN: A few widely scattered afternoon showers or storms could show up by Thursday and Friday, and the heat should back off a few degrees. Perhaps the best chance of an afternoon shower or storms will come late in the weekend on Suinday as a weak surface boundary drifts down toward the Tennessee Valley. But, the showers will be scattered.
NEXT WEEK: The GFS develops a trough over the Great Lakes early next week with a general weakness in the upper ridge below that here across the Deep South. So, at least there will be some chance of scattered afternoon showers and storms. With the weakness, highs should be closer to 90 next week.
LONG RANGE: Pretty much a routine looking pattern; the GFS suggests the most intense heat will be over the southwest U.S.... around here as we begin July we are looking at partly sunny hot days and fair humid nights; each afternoon a shower or storms might pop up. Of course, day to day weather changes in the summer here are mostly based on mesoscale features you won't see more than a few days in advance.
TROPICS: We have a little flare up of convection this morning over the central and southern Bahamas, but nothing organized. And, our wave over the eastern Caribbean seems to be fizzling out on us. The Atlantic basin is generally quiet.
ABC 33/40 SKYWATCHERS: We continue to look for volunteer severe storm spotters for a new citizen reporting network we are building. We are looking for people who have been through basic SKYWARN training, or who have a good grasp on thunderstorm structure, and are willing to report weather to use via an Instant Message network. We also will be asking for digital still pictures or video if possible. And, our main need now is for people in rural counties, where there are no reporting stations. Interested? Send me an e-mail and tell me about yourself: jspann@abc3340.com
I will have the next map discussion video here by 3:30 this afternoon!
