STORM ALERT 2009: Don’t forget our show tonight is in Jasper at the CHS Building at 7:00… we hope to see you there; be sure and come early to get a good seat.
RAIN RETURNING: The latest model runs are a little slower with the next round of rain for Alabama; remember that we will have a difficult time resolving the timing of waves in this fast upper flow across the southern U.S. Clouds will increase during the day tomorrow, and rain moves into the state tomorrow night. Looks like the best chance of rain will be from around 6:00 p.m. tomorrow through 9:00 a.m. Saturday. Some thunderstorms could be involved, but instability values are very marginal, and we don’t expect any serious problems with severe weather.
All of the rain should end in North Alabama by late morning Saturday, and a few peeks of sunshine are possible Saturday afternoon. Still no sign of any cold air; we will rise to near 70 tomorrow, and the high Saturday will be in the 60s.
SUNDAY: It looks like the best chance of rain in Alabama Sunday will be south of Montgomery; around here just a slight risk of a shower. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and models are trending warmer; looks like we might reach the low 60s Sunday after all.
NEXT WEEK: Again, timing is the hard part of the forecast. The 12Z run of the GFS has delayed the next rain producing system until late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Might be a set-up for strong thunderstorms; we will keep an eye on it in coming days.
VOODOO LAND: The GFS brings much colder air down into Alabama late next week following the round of storms Tuesday night and Wednesday. And, I think more cold shots are likely during the last week of the month, but the GFS is very muddy with details, which is what we expect in the land of voodoo.
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.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.
About time to board AirLink 33/40 for our trip up to Jasper… only takes about 15 minutes in the chopper. We hope to see you there tonight… the next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
