**No Weather Xtreme video this morning due to travel schedule**

CALM WEATHER CONTINUES: High clouds have increased across Alabama during the night thanks to a short wave to the west… but the low levels remain relatively dry. A guess an isolated shower is not out of the question today, but most places will stay dry.

That is pretty much the story for the weekend… a mix of sun and clouds tomorrow and Sunday with only a small risk of a shower, and high around 80 degrees both days. The deeper moisture will remain over the southern half of the state.

NEXT WEEK: A benign weather pattern continues next week with no major rain events in sight. Highs mostly in the low 80s, lows in the low 60s.

TROPICS: A tropical wave is moving into the Caribbean this morning… the shear analysis chart suggests upper air winds might be a little more favorable for development in coming days; we will keep an eye on that. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet for now.

TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.

I hope I am back in time for a Weather Xtreme video this afternoon by 3:30 or so… I had a great time last night speaking to the Little Rock Media Fellowship here in Arkansas. Gotta head to the airport… enjoy the day!
