An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
How about this one from the Jamies…
“It’s summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime summertime…
Well shut them books and throw ’em away
And say goodbye to dull school days
Look alive and change your ways
It’s summertime…”
That song was a little before my time as a teenage rock and roll radio superstar (I think it was released in 1960 or so). I think I would even write a song like that.
ANOTHER DAY OF HEAT: A quick check of temperatures at 2:00…
Birmingham 99
Tuscaloosa 99
Anniston 99
Calera 96
Montgomery 100
No real change this afternoon… and unfortunately the 12Z GFS run is coming in a tad hotter for the weekend and early next week. Not good. The MOS is now holding highs between 98 and 102 all the way through Sunday with the upper ridge persisting over the state. It still looks like next week won’t be as hot, with highs back in the low 90s. And, all along, the chance of showers is looking small due to the warm air aloft associated with the upper ridge. The good ole cap.
TROPICS: I noticed this after I produced the Weather Xtreme video… the Canadian GEMS develops a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico next week! I am not saying this will happen, but if by chance something does blow up down there most likely it will head west, underneath the ridge, toward the Texas or Mexico coast. The Canadian, like our GFS, has been known for bogus tropical systems in the medium range period. Still, it is interesting to note. For now the Atlantic basin is quiet.
DON’T FORGET THE PETS: This note from our marketing director here at ABC 33/40, Shirley Harden:
“Hi, whatever you could do to remind everyone to take extra precautions with
their pets…
in this horrible heat that it can kill an animal. (people too)
But, pets can’t speak for themselves.
Bring the pets inside…make sure they always have cool water….
Remember, they are wearing a fur coat…and can die very easily.
Thanks…
From,
Shirley & Wolfee (My German Shepard)”
