SUMMER-LIKE: Weather maps look more like June this afternoon… we will be a in a warm, humid weather regime through next week with the primary storm track holding west and north of Alabama. This means no serious weather changes in the days ahead; afternoon highs will remain in the 80 to 85 degree range each day.
A FEW SHOWERS: The upper ridge will weaken a bit in coming days, and that cooling aloft, along with increased low level moisture, will mean some risk of scattered showers just about every day through the weekend. Generally speaking, the showers should be widely spaced, and mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Much like summer in Alabama. There could be an increase in the number of showers by Sunday and Monday with a weak front drifting down into our state, but there will be little upper support, and it looks like the front will wash out, so still no sign of a major, organized rain event. We have slipped into a slight rain deficiency for the year, so hopefully we will catch one or two decent showers in coming days.
THE LAND OF VOODOO: Still no sign of any serious rain or storm events through mid-month looking at the GFS out to 16 days. The most organized rain remains west and north of Alabama. We sure need to pick up a few good rounds of rain and storms before the long hot summer sets in here.
AT THE BEACH: Mostly sunny days and clear nights through the weekend; any showers will be very isolated. Highs along the immediate coast will be in the mid to upper 70s, with mid 80s inland. The sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab this afternoon is 74 degrees (F).
