WATCHING THE RADAR: Still looks like we will have some chance of scattered showers on a daily basis through early next week. Both the NAM and the GFS are hinting at a convectively induced vorticity max coming through tomorrow morning, with a chance of showers and storms, especially in the 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon time period. We will probably need to roll with this idea in the forecast since both models are showing it, and have been fairly consistent in recent runs.
THE WEEKEND: Warm and humid weather continues on Saturday and Sunday with highs in the mid 80s with partly sunny days and the risk of widely scattered afternoon showers or storms. Again, this weather is more typical of June instead of early May. Looks like the chance of any one spot getting wet over the weekend at any given time is about one in four. For now we see nothing beyond the typical airmass showers during the peak of the daytime heating process.
NEXT WEEK: A surface boundary could give us an increase in the coverage of scattered showers and storms Monday afternoon or Monday night; I figure that front will stall out and dissipate around here Tuesday, although the 12Z GFS shows it pushing all the way down to the Gulf Coast. The primary rain and storm producers should remain north and west of Alabama next week, so we will stay in the warm, humid air with some risk of scattered showers and storms just about daily.
