TONIGHT: Looks fairly wet for Alabama tonight, with periods of rain and a few thunderstorms. The most unstable air this afternoon is over on the western side of the state, but severe weather parameters are not exactly overwhelming, and while a few strong storms are likely, we don’t expect any serious severe weather issues. Additional rain amounts of around 1/2 inch are likely.
TOMORROW: A few lingering morning showers are possible, mainly over East Alabama, but most of Alabama should be back in sunshine by tomorrow afternoon as dry air moves into the state and dewpoints drop. Both the GFS and the NAM are printing a high of only 77 tomorrow.
THE WEEKEND: The weekend still looks dry for the northern half of Alabama, with mostly sunny warm days and clear nights. The high Saturday should be in the mid 80s, and we will be approaching 90 by Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: Moisture slowly returns, and it looks like some risk of scattered, mostly afternoon showers and storms on a daily basis next week. Seems like the most organized showers and storms could come on Wednesday or Thursday thanks to another passing upper trough.
VOODOO STORM: The GFS (the 12Z run) is showing a tropical storm lifting northward from the Caribbean during the middle of next week, moving across Cuba and the Bahamas, and then north/northeast parallel to the U.S. East Coast. We all know that could be bogus, but the idea is on the table.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.

Another great morning at Double Oak Community Church with Crocodile Dock… one more day tomorrow, which is also “water fun” day. Something tells me I am going to get soaked. Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
