An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
DRY AIR MEANS NO RAIN: Not much change in our weather through the weekend. Sunny warm days, clear cool nights. Highs between 80 and 84, early morning lows in the 50s. Still looks like we are headed for the low 50s early tomorrow, with upper 40s for the normally cooler spots across North Alabama.
NEXT WEEK: The GFS continues the idea of a deep upper trough forming over the eastern U.S. by the middle of next week; if this is correct it will bring the coolest air so far this season down into Alabama right as October begins. That should get most of us in the 40s by Thursday or Friday morning of next week, with highs only in the upper 60s or low 70s. Very nice.
EAST COAST: A hybrid low will bring very wet and windy weather to the middle Atlantic coast tomorrow into Friday; tropical storm force winds are likely along the coast from North Carolina north to Delaware. This won’t get a name like a tropical storm, but the impact will be roughly the same.
And, to the south, the tropical system near Hispanolia still does not have its act together due to the interaction with the mountainous island. Models continue to show this moving northward in coming days, with potential for it to develop into Tropical Storm Kyle. Most models have shifted to the right… with the system moving into the Canadian maritimes, or the eastern tip of Maine over the weekend.
Both of these systems should not impact Alabama in any way.
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.
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.
I will have the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
