**No Weather Xtreme video today due to travel schedule**
MEMORIAL DAY SHOWERS: A moist, tropical airmass continues to have over Alabama this morning. There a couple of showers on radar this morning over East Alabama, but for now the rest of the state is dry. But, later today, with the daytime heating process look for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Some spots could see heavy rain from the stronger storms, much like yesterday. Temperatures should rise into the low 80s before the clouds and showers cool things down a bit.
REST OF THE WEEK: Not much change through mid-week; a mix of sun and clouds each day with scattered to numerous showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 80s, and due to the tropical nature of the air some communities will see heavy amounts of rain.
WEEKEND PEEK: The GFS and the ECMWF continue the idea of drier air slipping into the state late in the week, and at this point it looks like much of the coming weekend will be rain-free with lower humidity levels.
