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.

STILL SUMMER-LIKE: Our weather just isn’t changing very much, but we do believe the upper ridge will break down enough for some risk of widely scattered showers this afternoon, especially north of I-20. No big deal, but a few spots could pick up a brief passing shower after the lunch hour. Otherwise, the day will be partly sunny and rather humid with a high in the low 80s.

COMING DAYS: No serious change through the weekend. High mostly in the low 80s, partly sunny days, fair nights, and some risk of a brief afternoon shower each day. The best coverage of the showers will be over the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama, and mostly during the afternoon and evening hours.

NEXT WEEK: Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 00Z GFS is back on the idea of a general increase in the number of scattered showers and storms next week with a weakened upper ridge and a weak surface boundary that drifts down here Monday. Still, no sign of any severe weather or really heavy rain event, but hopefully we will pick up a few decent showers next week.

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. Scroll down for the show notes on this week’s new episode.

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.

I will be speaking to a class down at the University of Montevallo early this afternoon after a “lunch with Mr. James” at Mount Laurel Elementary. Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
