An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Looks like we are headed for lows down in the 55 to 60 degree range again tomorrow… scroll down for J.B.’s list of refreshing lows from this morning. You can’t beat this for early July in Alabama. The weather is really not very hot, not humid, and nights are relatively cool. And, the dry air means no significant chance of rain through Thursday.
HOLIDAY WEEKEND: Looks like most of Independence Day on Friday will be dry with just a handful of scattered showers or storms late in the day. Rain should not be a big issue for the fireworks shows Friday night around 9:00 p.m.
Deeper moisture will arrive Saturday and Sunday, and with a stalled surface front just north of here, expect scattered showers and storms both days, possibly numerous at times. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s, and the moist air stays in place through early next week.
AT THE BEACH: Lots of sunshine tomorrow, then a few scattered showers and storms will return on Thursday, Friday, and over the weekend. Highs will stay in the mid to upper 80s along the immediate coast.
TROPICAL ACTION: A good looking tropical wave has emerged off the coast of Africa; see the Weather Xtreme video for the latest satellite images and model output. Looks like this one, if it develops, will stay over open water and recurve well before reaching the Caribbean. This could be a sign that a pulse up is coming across the Atlantic basin; we will be watching closely.
VOODOO LAND: Still no sign of any serious or excessive heat around here through mid-month; looks like near average temperatures with an almost daily risk of scattered, mainly afternoon showers and storms.
AIR QUALITY ALERT: An air quality alert has been issued for Jefferson and Shelby Counties tomorrow by the Jefferson County Department of Health and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Ground level ozone is expected to be the primary issue…
