DRIER AIR MOVING INTO ALABAMA: Showers and storms this afternoon and early tonight should be mostly along and east of I-65, where SPC maintains a slight severe weather risk. Wind fields are light, so tornado activity is not expected; the main threat will come from hail and small areas of straight line wind damage (microbursts). As I write this the NWS has just issued their first severe thunderstorm warning of the day for Lee County in East Alabama.
A low level westerly flow continues over West Alabama, and most places west of I-65 will remain dry tonight.
DRY DAYS: All of Alabama will enjoy dry weather tomorrow and over the weekend. Expect sunny warm days, clear pleasant nights, and lower humidity levels. Expect a high in the low 80s tomorrow, mid 80s Saturday, followed by upper 80s Sunday. The dry weather should last through Monday of next week.
TOPIC: TROPICS: An early season tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic off the east coast of the U.S… see the Weather Xtreme video for the graphics and details. While this is expected to become tropical storm Ana tonight, it will remain at sea and will weaken later over the cooler water of the North Atlantic. The system is no threat to land.
