An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
STORMS FEWER BUT STRONGER: As I write this update Greene County in West Alabama is under a severe thunderstorm warning. Storms today are not as numerous as recent days, but with stronger daytime heating and better instability (surface based CAPE values nearing 3,000 j/kg), they are stronger. Look for more storms to develop over the next 4 to 6 hours… some of them will pack a punch with lots of lightning and a chance of strong winds over small areas.
TOMORROW: Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see that SPC has parts of Central Alabama in a slight risk of severe weather tomorrow in advance of the long awaited push of drier air. Like today, strong storms tomorrow afternoon will be scattered, but they could grow to severe limits in a few cases. Otherwise, tomorrow will be warm and muggy with a high in the mid 80s.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Any showers or storms on Friday should be very isolated as drier air takes over, and the weekend should be rain free, with sunny warm days, clear cooler nights, and low humidity levels. The cooler spots should be in the 50s at daybreak Saturday and Sunday morning. The dry weather should last into Monday.
LONG RANGE: We will bring back the risk of widely scattered afternoon showers on Tuesday, and the rest of next week looks like standard early June weather, with partly sunny, warm, and humid days with some risk of a passing afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the 80s.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes.
