An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.

SUMMER PREVIEW CONTINUES: Weather like this makes the job pretty easy… unseasonably warm weather continues into early next week, with afternoon highs well into the 80s along with a good supply of sunshine each day. The warm air aloft associated with the upper ridge will mean little chance of rain through Tuesday. Great weather for Stadiumfest at Samford tomorrow, and all of the activities at the Talladega Superspeedway.

NEXT WEEK: A weakening front will drift down into North Alabama Wednesday, and will bring some risk of scattered showers to the northern half of the state. No big rain event, and no severe weather with no upper support. Then, the front lifts northward and we go back into a dry pattern on Thursday and Friday… we have removed the chance of rain for both of those days. Temperatures will remain above average with the upper ridge in control.

VOODOO LAND: Still no sign of the primary Polar jet dipping down into the Deep South anytime soon, meaning no signs of any serious weather issues involving heavy rain or severe storms through at least May 10. Nice and quiet days in the weather office…

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.

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.

I hope you have a great weekend… Brian Peters will have the video updates tomorrow and Sunday; my next Weather Xtreme video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. Monday.
