Don't forget we are offering podcasts twice daily... these are audio forecasts in MP3 format that can be played on your computer or portable MP3 player. They are automatically downloaded to your computer through free software like IPodder, and the feed you need is here:

You can use that same RSS feed to let you know the moment we make updates to this blog.
The upper wave is exiting this morning, with a few isolated showers over northeast Alabama as I write this at a very early hour. We still think most places will be dry today for a change, but again we stress we are NOT leaving out the chance of rain, we are just saying any showers today should be very widely scattered. With the increasing amount of sunshine, temperatures should rise into the low to mid 80s today. Pretty much the same story tomorrow as we start the weekend.
SUNDAY/MONDAY: The air aloft looks a tad colder on Sunday; the 500 mb temp here is expected to drop from -7.2 to -8.2, so afternoon showers or storms night be a little more numerous on Sunday and Monday.
Hard to define any specific features that will bring a better coverage of showers for any day over the latter half of next week, so we will broad brush the forecast all of next week with warm and humid days along with scattered showers and storms. Welcome to summer in Alabama.
TROPICAL: The GFS still depicts a nervous Gulf of Mexico at mid-month. Would not be surprised to see some kind of depression or storm down there, but way to early to be specific....
