WARM AND HUMID: Our weather will look and feel more like June for the next five to seven days, with temperatures above average, and some risk of an afternoon shower just about on a daily basis.
Afternoon highs will remain in the 80 to 85 degree range through early next week, and there will be sufficient moisture for some risk of showers each afternoon, but like today, they will be widely separated. In this regime, it is difficult to determine exactly which day will feature a better coverage of showers, just be aware that a “pop-up” shower or storm could happen during the afternoon and evening hours, and the best coverage should be over the northern third of the state, with hardly any south of Montgomery. Exactly the kind of weather you expect around here in June.
NEXT WEEK: Watch the Weather Xtreme video; you will see the 12Z GFS hints at a fairly decent surface boundary moving in here Wednesday of next week with some enhanced risk of showers and storms, but we will believe that when we see it. Blocking upper ridge patterns like this are usually slow in breaking down. Bottom line is that next week looks much like this week; warm and muggy with just a few scattered showers around each afternoon.
