AFTERNOON STORMS: Look for temperatures levels to come down, and rain chance to go up during the next 48 hours as the upper air ridge begins to break down across the Southeast U.S. Look for warm and muggy conditions today, and scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. We will flirt with 90 degrees before the showers and storms form. The chance of any one spot getting wet today is about one in three.
Showers and storms will be widespread across Alabama tomorrow as a surface boundary approaches from the west, supported by a nice upper trough. The high will drop into the low 80s, and rain amounts of one-half to one inch are likely. A few strong storms are possible, but a widespread severe weather problem is not expected.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Drier air moves into Alabama Friday; there could be a few lingering morning showers, especially over East Alabama, but I think most of the day will be dry with the sky becoming mostly sunny by afternoon with lower dewpoints. The weekend looks warm and dry, with a good supply of sunshine Saturday and Sunday along with highs in the 87 to 90 degree range.
NEXT WEEK: Monday should stay dry, but we will bring back the chance of scattered showers and storms Tuesday, and the rest of the week looks warm and humid with a chance of scattered showers and storms on a daily basis. No sign of any early season heat wave setting up through mid-June.
