**Note there will not be an afternoon web video today; I will be taking the day off from the TV shift. John Oldshue will be filling in for me on ABC 33/40 News tonight**
Dry weather continues through tomorrow with a gradual warming trend. The main forecast issues involve the Memorial Day weekend.
The 00Z run of the GFS is back to the look we have seen much of this week. A few showers possible on Saturday with a surface boundary drifting in here. Then, on Sunday, the best chance of showers shifting down into south Alabama as the front moves down to near U.S. 80.
Memorial Day looks very wet again, with the model developing a 1004 mb low over southern Arkansas in response to a short wave moving in from Texas. This would suggest wet and potentially stormy weather on Monday; NCEP is buying this as they now show a 3 inch bullseye over the next five days over central Alabama. That would sure help to knock out the rain deficit.
The latest GFS then moves the surface low to West Virginia, with drier air slipping in here on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Then, another trough approaches with rain opportunities on the way up for Thursday and Friday, June 2-3.
J.B. Elliott is back in the saddle today, he will be writing the forecast packages this afternoon and tomorrow... will be interesting to see how the weekend scenario unfolds!
