An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Unfortunately, there will be more misses than hits in coming days; but at least a few neighborhoods will see a brief shower or storm during the afternoon and evening hours in coming days. You can scroll down for J.B.’s updates on the current thunderstorm situation.
Unfortunately, the storms might be even fewer in number tomorrow as warmer air aloft caps off the atmosphere. While we remain in a drought, a major severe weather threat is possible tomorrow and Thursday from the northern plains eastward to the Great Lakes. The primary dynamics from this big storm will remain well to the north of Alabama, which is what we expect in June around here.
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Sure looks like classic summer weather for Alabama. I still think the model MOS numbers are a little low due to the lack of soil moisture; low 90s seem likely through the period, with a few spots, especially over West Alabama, reaching the mid 90s. Each afternoon there will be a few widely scattered showers and storms around, much like what you see on the radar today.
LONG RANGE: Still no sign of any really major rain event for Alabama during the next 15 days. The tropics seem to stay quiet, and most of the mid-latitude rain producers will remain well to the north.
WEATHER BRAINS: We have a brand new episode on the web and on iTunes; scroll down for David Black’s show notes.
