**No Weather Xtreme Video this morning due to NO voice!**
If you watched the 10:00 news last night you know it was rather painful. I am not really sick, just have a case of laryngitis.
RIGHT NOW: Scroll down for J.B.’s updates on the thunderstorm complex moving through Northeast Alabama. The disturbance responsible for this will move east of the state by mid-day. We should reach the low 80s later today, and a few showers or storms could develop this afternoon, perhaps on the outflow of the morning storm complex over Central Alabama. Like recent days, they will be scattered.
THE WEEKEND: The warm, humid air will linger over Alabama over the weekend; highs in the 80s, dewpoints in the 60s. This means the chance of scattered showers and storms both days, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. The chance of any one spot getting wet both days is about one in four. The sky will be partly sunny both days; just like a weekend in mid-June.
NEXT WEEK: Another surface boundary will approach early in the week, giving us an enhanced coverage of showers and storms by Monday afternoon into Monday night. The front should stall out somewhere around here Tuesday and dissipate; there could be a decrease in the number of showers Tuesday if the front makes it south of here. I would not count on that considering the strength of the ridge. I think the best forecast for now is to leave in some risk of scattered mainly afternoon showers on a daily basis through the entire week. Temperatures will remain warm with highs in the low to mid 80s.
