Web Video Map Discussion for Saturday, June 4

Video map discussion should be posted shortly. Morning clouds should give way to a warm and humid day today very much like yesterday. Most people in Alabama will be dry but there is still the outside possibility of an isolated shower or thundershower as we saw yesterday afternoon.

Rain chances will remain slight on Sunday but a short wave moving through the flow should help to enhance chances of showers on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday into Friday we settle back into the summertime pattern of mainly afternoon and evening showers.

The GFS is forecasting a weak low in the Gulf by the end of the week. My confidence in that feature is not very high because the GFS has been advertising features resembling this for some time. Eventually the GFS will hit one correctly. Temperatures in the tropics are indeed warm but so far the upper level winds over the Caribbean have not been favorable. It will be interesting to watch this feature in future model runs.

After that feature goes by, we return to a summer-like pattern of afternoon showers. Average highs for central Alabama are now around 87/88 and I don't see much outside of cloud cover to give us any cool temperatures or especially hot temperatures.

Have a great weekend.
