**No Weather Xtreme Video this morning… going to try for some voice rest this morning**
UNSTABLE AIR: The thunderstorms that moved through this morning should put down a small scale boundary, that should serve as a focus for additional storm development later today as the daytime heating process begins. Here is the SPC Day One convective outlook:
You can see the best severe weather threat today should be a little south of here, near that boundary, somewhere over the southern half of the state. But, we can’t rule out a few storms up this way as well. They should be rather scattered, but they could pack a punch. Otherwise, the day should be partly sunny with a high well up in the 80s. It will feel like summer.
TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: It sure looks like any storms tomorrow and Saturday will be very isolated, and the warmest temperatures so far this year can be expected with highs in the upper 80s, with low 90s possible over parts of West Alabama. Very much like summer. Another boundary will have the potential to bring more storms into Alabama Sunday and Monday. The GFS hints that highs will drop back into the 70s on those days with the increase in clouds and rain; we will wait for the 12Z run before making major adjustments to the forecast for now. Would not be surprised to see some strong storms around on those days.
LONG RANGE: Still no evidence of any intrusion of dry, continental air, so it looks like warm and humid conditions will be the story through mid-month with some risk of showers and storms at times in the unstable air.
