REFRESHING MORNING: As advertised for days, drier air has arrived, and it sure feels good this morning. Our Skywatcher at Black Creek, northeast of Gadsden, has checked in with 58 degrees. It is 59 at Cullman, Valley Head, Crossville, and Meridianville. Most other spots are in the low to mid 60s with a clear sky.
DRY WEEK: We are pretty much looking at no rain through Friday, with sunny days and fair nights. The coolest morning will come early tomorrow, when the cooler spots over Northeast Alabama should reach the mid 50s. Today’s high should be only in the mid 80s, followed by upper 80s tomorrow, and low 90s Wednesday through Friday. A very benign weather pattern.
WEEKEND PEEK: The weather won’t change much Saturday and Sunday… I guess we might consider mentioning a slight risk of a shower with increasing low level moisture, but it still looks generally dry with highs in the low 90s.
TROPICS: Tropical Storm Gert is passing east of Bermuda this morning with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet for now, but we note the GFS advertises a significant tropical system in the Atlantic in the August 26-30 time frame; the model shows this one on a recurvature path just off the East Coast of the U.S. Sure looks like this might be the season for most of the tropical systems to stay over in the Atlantic.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. We will record this week’s episode tonight at 8:30 CDT…
