**No video updates today; they will resume tomorrow**
A quick peek at weather on this Memorial Day reveals clouds and some light rain across Alabama. We will continue to highlight rain and a few storms through tomorrow. No severe weather, but the rain might be heavy at times. Latest model extraction looks like this:
NAM 3.72" (through 84 hours)
GFS 3.84" (through 60 hours)
The total yesterday at the Birmingham Airport was 2.62", which knocked our rain deficit for the year down to 3.49". SO... if the NAM and GFS are correct, then we will actually wind up with a rain surplus for the year by mid-week. That would be quite a turn around.
The rain will diminish greatly by Wednesday, as the pattern shifts to the more typical "scattered afternoon showers and storms" during the latter half of the week...
Down south a band of severe storms is moving along the Gulf coast; a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for southeast Louisiana. Those storms will make for a wet day down at Gulf Shores today...
