Another Cool Night Ahead

An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…

Scroll down for some great energy saving ideas from Dr. Tim… a good read.

TONIGHT: Sure looks like most folks will be somewhere between 50 and 60 degrees early tomorrow; the coldest spots will reach the upper 40s again, much like this morning (scroll down for J.B.’s list of lows). A very welcome break from the summer heat and humidity for Alabama.

TOMORROW AND BEYOND: Tomorrow will be mostly sunny and a little warmer; we reach the upper 80s. The latest model runs (12Z) continue to trend drier for Friday; at this point it sure looks like the best chance of scattered showers and storms will hold off until Saturday when energy rotates through the base of the upper trough over the eastern U.S. We might have a hard time getting out of the low 80s Saturday with clouds and showers.

Drier air moves back in Sunday, and most of the showers will be over the southern half of the state, and that looks to be the story on Monday and Tuesday as well. Afternoon highs will remain in the 86 to 89 degree range.

VOODOO LAND: The upper ridge slowly rebuilds across the Deep South as we head into July, meaning routine summer weather for Alabama. Highs in the upper 80s and lows 90s, and an almost daily risk of an afternoon shower or storm in scattered spots in the June 30 to July 4 time frame.

CODE ORANGE ALERT: A code orange ozone alert is in effect for Jefferson and Shelby Counties tomorrow.Actions you can take on alert days:
· Carpool or take the bus
· Combine errands into one trip – Postpone unnecessary travel
· Limit idling-avoid drive thru’s
· Mow the lawn another day
· Don’t burn leaves or trash
· Don’t fill your gas tank until after 6 p.m.

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.
