How about this one from Chad and Jeremy?
“Trees swayin’ in the summer breeze
Showin’ off their silver leaves
As we walked by
Soft kisses on a summer’s day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I
Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky
They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don’t you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn’t have to go
No no no no
And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I’ll think of summer days again
And dream of you”
That one was before my radio days… sometime back in the 60s. Not a bad little “feel good” radio song, however.
OUR WEEKEND: Not much change through Sunday; generally hot and dry with lots of sunshine each day and highs in the 90 to 95 degree range. The dreaded “594 circle” (heights of 5940 meters) shows up today and tomorrow on the 500 mb chart over Alabama, so the chance of any one spot catching an afternoon is so small it really isn’t worth a mention in the forecast. We had a handful of small showers that popped up yesterday afternoon, and that is always possible on a hot June afternoon, but most communities will remain dry.
WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Fantastic summer weather will continue along the Gulf Coast through early next week with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Showers will be few and far between; expect daily highs in the mid 80s along the immediate coast, with low 90s inland. The sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was 84 degrees. We should also note the tropical weather scene is very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected across the Atlantic basin through Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: Looks like we will probably need to mention at least a chance of widely scattered afternoon showers or storms most days next week, but the rain won’t be widespread as the storm track remains well to the north. Looks like we will peak in the 89 to 92 degree range most afternoons.
VOODOO LAND: The GFS beats the ridge down in the June 16-18 time frame and brings a weakening front down this way, which should offer some increase in the number of scattered showers and storms. Then, the ridge rebuilds, and that ole nasty 594 circle shows up again around June 21.
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.
Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
