**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**
A few quick forecast highlights…
*Looks like we will have a pretty decent coverage of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow; the high will be close to 90, and where storms form early in the day some neighborhoods will stay under 90.
*Showers and storms thin out greatly Sunday as the upper ridge noses in from the west.
*Next week looks pretty hot; we will need to adjust the highs upward into the upper 90s as 500 mb heights rise above 5880 meters. And, the associated warm air aloft should mean generally dry conditions. Any afternoon showers and storms should be pretty isolated.
*Heat levels should slowly come down during the latter half of next week as the ridge retrogrades to the west, and afternoon storms should slowly increase at the same time.
*The tropics look quiet for the next five days, and the GFS is showing no significant tropical activity through 15 days.
Headed out to Alabama Adventure for a live shot at 5:00 and 6:00… down to Camp Booth for the Hunter Street Kids Camp, and then back to the ABC 33/40 studio for the 10:00 News. No dull moments around here… Brian Peters will have the Weather Xtreme video updates over the weekend, and my next one will be up by Monday morning at 7:00. Enjoy the weekend!
