Looks like it is time to write my annual piece here about summer weather forecasting in Alabama. Looks like a summer pattern is setting up a little early as the primary storm track has shifted well to the north.. so the words "scattered afternoon thunderstorms" will come into play from time to time. The words "warm and humid" will be around for a while, and of course will evolve into "hot and humid" from June through early September. I warned you to enjoy those cool nights and low dewpoints we enjoyed a week ago!
NEXT 48 HOURS: A short wave will pass north of Alabama, and the trailing front will bring the chance of a few passing showers or storms tonight and tomorrow. I don't think the rain will be very widespread, and there really isn't much chance of any organized severe weather. But, a few places might see up to one-half inch of rain. A few showers or storms could creep into west Alabama this afernoon.
REST OF THE WEEK: An upper ridge means warm and humid weather Wednesday through Friday with just a small chance of any one place getting an afternoon shower or storm. Temperatures will rise well into the 80s.
WEEKEND PEEK: Another wave will pass well to the north of Alabama, but the trailing cold front might trigger a few showers or storms Friday night and Saturday... much like the setup tonight and tomorrow. No wash out, probably no organized severe weather. The ridge rebuilds Sunday and into the first of next week.
LONG RANGE: Still no sign of stronger upper winds in here for the next 10 to 15 days... so the weather looks warmer and drier than normal during the mid-month period.
Headed out to see the kids at Minor Community School... be back in the studio later today for the afternoon update. Just a handful of school programs left... almost time for summer vacation!
