Plenty of rain for everyone during the past 24 hours... an excellent, widespread, and beneficial rain for the state. We don't get them like this in early June all that often; no severe weather and no flooding to deal with. J.B. Elliott posted a comprehensive list of rainfall reports on the blog below this post... and the numbers are still going up in many places.
RIGHT NOW: A broad surface low is near the Alabama/Mississippi border, and is no hurry to move anywhere. The WRF has it over northwest Alabama at midday tomorrow, so we still expect lots of clouds and occasional passing showers and storms tonight and tomorrow. The most numerous showers could very well be east of I-65.
FRIDAY: The upper trough axis will be east of Alabama, and with sinking air behind the wave we figure Friday will be the driest day of the week. We can't totally rule out the chance of a few widely scattered showers, but most places should be dry. Temperatures will recover into the 80s as some sunshine finally returns.
THE WEEKEND: Lots of low level moisture will mean the risk of scattered afternoon showers or storms on Saturday. Those showers might be a little more numerous on Sunday, but there will be some good intervals of sunshine both days with temperatures peaking in the mid 80s.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: Very moist air will stay in place, and upper heights won't be excessively high. This means no really hot weather, lots of humidity, and the daily opportunity of at least scattered showers and storms. Looks like the summer of 2005 will begin with relatively mild and wet weather.
HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS: The Atlantic basin is pretty quiet right now, but water temperatures are warm and we will be watching for any sign of early season development in the Gulf over the coming weeks.
