MOISTURE INCREASING: Again today in the early June heat some healthy thunderstorms have fired up in the unstable air across Alabama. Most places are not getting wet, but where storms have developed they are packing a punch and are producing some small hail in a few cases. The NWS has issued a few severe thunderstorm warnings for these cells.
TOMORROW AND THURSDAY: Look for a general increase in the number of scattered showers and storms tomorrow as the upper ridge breaks down, and moisture levels continue to increase. Thursday still looks like the day with the best coverage of showers and storms with a surface boundary moving through, with some decent upper air support. The high will drop back into the low to mid 80s Thursday because of the clouds and showers.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The 12Z GFS is back on the idea of drier air moving into Alabama Friday. There might be a lingering shower or two Friday morning, but it looks like the sky should become mostly sunny by afternoon with lower humidity. The weekend looks rain-free with warm afternoons but pleasant nights. Afternoon highs should be in the 87 to 90 degree range Saturday and Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: The weather should stay dry Monday, then things get back to the usual June routine Tuesday through the rest of the week with warm and muggy conditions and the daily risk of scattered, mostly afternoon showers and storms. Looks like highs close to 90 for much of next week. Most be summer in Alabama.
