An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Our weather will remain rather uneventful through Friday; most of the scattered showers will be down over the southern quarter of the state. The chance of any one back yard getting wet Friday afternoon over the northern half of the state is only about one in eight, so most BBQ parties and fireworks shows will go on without rain issues. Afternoon highs will be close to 90 tomorrow and Friday, with humidity levels slowly creeping up.
Looks like pretty routine summer weather for the weekend; moist air will return meaning a chance of scattered, mainly afternoon showers and storms Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the upper 80s along with a mix of sun and clouds.
NEXT WEEK: Not much change for a large part of next week; partly sunny and humid days with an afternoon shower or storm in scattered spots. Afternoon highs will be close to 90 degrees. The 12Z GFS pushes a disturbance in the western Gulf of Mexico up into the Texas coastal plain on this run.
BERTHA? Our tropical wave in the far eastern Atlantic looks pretty good (see the Weather Xtreme video for the satellite images and graphics)… this has a good chance of becoming tropical storm Bertha in coming days. All global models continue the idea of recurving this one into the open Atlantic well before reaching the Caribbean.
