A WARMER AFTERNOON: Temperatures are mostly in the 78 to 82 degree range at 3:00 this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds across the great state of Alabama. A few widely scattered showers are on radar over East Alabama, but they are few and far between and will fade away once the sun goes down.
REST OF THE WEEK: No real change in our forecast thinking. The weather looks warm and mostly dry tomorrow through Friday, with highs in the mid 80s (maybe upper 80s Thursday), with partly sunny days and fair nights. A shower or two could form each afternoon, but they will be very hard to find, and the chance of any one front yard getting wet is only 10 percent or so. Not really worth mentioning in the forecast.
WEEKEND PREVIEW: Looks like there will be enough moisture for the standard mention of “widely scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”, otherwise the weekend looks warm and mostly dry with highs remaining in the low to mid 80s as our calm weather pattern continues.
AT THE BEACH: Nice weather from Panama City west to Gulf Shores through the weekend with about 10 hours of sun each day; a brief isolated shower is not totally out of the question, but rain won’t be a big issue. Highs will be in the low 80s, and the water temperature this afternoon at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 80 degrees. Very nice weekend for the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores.
LONG RANGE: Still no sign of any severe weather threat for Alabama through the end of May as the primary storm track across North America stays to the north as we continue to slip into our summer pattern. See the Weather Xtreme video for graphics and details.
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. Scroll down for the show notes on this week’s new episode.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
