A few showers or storms could creep in here late today, but still looks like most of the rain arrives after dark.
We are still projecting a wet period for Alabama tonight and tomorrow as an upper air storm drops southward from Minneapolis to near Muscle Shoals. Hopefully we can get some beneficial rain in here; the NAM shows 1.15", while the GFS has 0.98".
SPC has a slight severe weather risk over much of Alabama tomorrow. Here are some of the severe weather parameters for tomorrow:
Surface Based CAPE 1128
Lifted Index -2.9
0-3 km Helicity 207
SWEAT Index 241
850 Wind Speed 24 kts
Needless to say, those numbers are not very exciting and I really don't expect a big severe weather issue.
THE WEEKEND: Sure looks like we can completely take out all chance of rain for Saturday as dry air moves into the state. Lots of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday with temperatures peaking in the low 80s. Great weather for the final rounds of the Bruno's Memorial Classic.
NEXT WEEK: A cold front moves through Monday, but the latest GFS is very dry and basically shows no rain with the front. Then, pleasant weather for the middle of next week with sunny days, clear cool nights, and low humidity values. An upper trough will be on the Atlantic seaboard with a northerly flow aloft in place here.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Just too early to be specific. Looks like a front tries to drift down to the Alabama/Tennessee border as we begin the weekend, but there is little upper air support. I get the idea the weather will be warm and humid with a few scattered showers and storms, but no wash-out.
AT THE BEACH: You will probably see a few scattered showers and storms on the coast this weekend, but some decent intervals of sunshine as well. Next week the showers become more widely scattered with increasing amounts of sunshine. The sea water temperature is up to 80 degrees now along the Alabama coast.
ADRIAN: Yo... this odd early season Eastern Pacific tropical storm will move into Central America today... winds are 60 mph now, but the main issue will come from flooding. The mountains will tear up the low level circulation; whatever is left will come out into the Caribbean tomorrow. This will not affect the Gulf coast at all, but it will be interesting to watch.
