SUMMER-LIKE WEEKEND: Not much change in the weather as the upper ridge takes over… sunny warm days and clear nights this weekend with highs well into the 80s. Great weather to go racing this weekend at Talladega, or anything else you want to do.
NEXT WEEK: The ridge will deflect most of the rain producing systems west and north of Alabama for a good part of the week. The latest GFS runs have suggested a weakening surface boundary could bring a shower to the northern third of the state Wednesday afternoon, but now it lifts northward, instead of stalling out here, and the 00Z run shows all of Alabama bone dry Thursday and Friday of next week, and we will probably move the forecast in that drier direction.
VOODOO LAND: Looking all the way out to May 9, we really don’t see a major rain event or severe weather threat here. There could be a few showers along the way, but it sure looks dry for this time of the year. We need a few more really good rain events before we get into the long, hot summer, but they are not showing up for now.
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.
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.
Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
