Delightful Memorial Day Weekend Ahead
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
TRANQUIL WEATHER: We begin the day with some patchy dense fog… once that burns off the sky will be partly sunny, and most places will see a high in the mid 80s this afternoon. A cold front will pass through the state later today, but it sure looks like it will blow through here, generally speaking, in dry fashion. I guess there might be a blip or two on radar late this afternoon, but the chance of any one spot getting wet has now dropped to 5-10 percent, and it really isn’t worth the mention in the forecast. School with outdoor graduations tonight should be in good shape, and great weather for the SEC baseball tournament in Hoover.
REFRESHING DAY TOMORROW: What a great day in late May. Sunshine in full supply, a fresh north breeze, cooler temperatures, and lower humidity. The high will be only in the mid 70s, about ten degrees below average. A very good chance we reach the upper 40s early Saturday, and colder pockets could see low to mid 40s. Next time we see numbers like this should be in October.
MARVELOUS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Look for sunny warm days and clear cool nights Saturday through Monday. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s, with lows in the 50s early Sunday and Monday morning. Doesn’t get much better.
And, it looks like we stay dry next week with highs mostly in the 80s with just a very slow day to day warming trend. Humidity levels will slowly return to the higher seasonal averages.
AT THE BEACH: Look for mostly sunny days and clear nights from Panama City west to Gulf Shores through the first half of next week. Highs on the immediate coast will be around 80 degrees, and sea water temperatures are running in the 75-80 degree range.
ALMOST TIME: The Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico hurricane season kicks off June 1. Remember, the more significant tropical systems usually come later in the season… usually in August and September when the water is warmest. The first set of names for this year… Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, and Karen.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 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.
