The Monday afternoon web update is on the server:
http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb
Temperatures will drop back into the low 50s tonight, with upper 40s possible for the colder spots over the northern half of Alabama. Enjoy it, we won't have too many more of them!
Dry weather along with a warming trend headlines the forecast tomorrow and Wednesday. We will introduce the chance of a shower or storm late Thursday afternoon as moisture begins to return, and the air becomes more unstable. We will have a few passing showers or storms on Friday thanks to an upper air feature that drops southward from near Kansas City to Lake Charles during the latter half of the week. We don't expect an "all day" rain on Friday, but a shower or storm is possible at almost any time.
THE WEEKEND: The upper air system will sit on the western Louisiana coast and weaken, but there should enough moisture on Saturday for a few scattered showers and storms. We will leave Sunday rain-free as drier air slips into the state.
THE LONG RANGE: Looks like we might have a wet period in the May 25-28 time frame as a surface front settles into the deep south and becomes stationary. We will take all the rain we can get.
TROPICAL: The GFS still shows a tropical type low over the eastern part of Cuba late this week, but moves the feature to the northeast before getting into the Gulf of Mexico. A check of the buoy naer the Yucatan channel is showing a sea water temperature of almost 84 degrees this afternoon. Water sure is warm down there.
SPACE WEATHER: Quite a geomagnetic storm over the weekend; lots of aurora displays seen up north. See more on http://www.spaceweather.com .
