An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
A strong upper ridge will bring more warm, dry weather to Alabama for the rest of the week. Daily highs will be in the 80 to 83 degree range, and we won’t mention any chance of rain thorough Thursday. A weak impulse might trigger a shower or two Friday, but many places will remain dry.
THE WEEKEND: A weak front will stall out north of Alabama and dissipate; we will mention the risk of a few widely scattered showers over the weekend, but no heavy rain, no wash-out, and no severe weather. There will be some sun at times, and temperatures will remain very comfortable with highs remaining in the low 80s. For race fans, we can’t rule out a shower around the Talladega Superspeedway on both days, but rain should be not be a big problem.
NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS is coming in with a different solution; it brings a well defined, closer upper low into the Deep South by mid-week with an increasing chance of rain and storms. Lets watch a few more model runs before we jump on this idea, since it was absent from the 00Z run.
PINPOINT DOPPLER RADAR UPDATE: We are waiting on a crew from Denver to come in and get us back online; they are scheduled to be here late in the week. Looks like no rain between now and then anyway, thank goodness!
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 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. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left. We will record this week’s show tomorrow night.
I had a great time seeing all of the kids today at the Church at Brook Hills Early Learning Center; be watching for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News! My program for the 1st grade at Oak Mountain Elementary never happened; the school had to close early in the day due to a water main break. The next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow….
