Hot June Weekend Ahead
**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today; I am live at the Steel City Jazz Festival in Linn Park in downtown Birmingham on ABC 33/40**
RADAR CHECK: Another quiet afternoon across Alabama this afternoon, although we do note a few showers up in the Tennessee Valley close to Huntsville.
These small showers will dissipate soon after dark.
HEATING UP: We still project a high around 90 degrees tomorrow and Sunday; the sky will be partly to mostly sunny both days. While a few small, isolated afternoon showers are possible during the afternoon and evening hours, the chance of any one spot getting wet is only about one in eight both days. Pretty much the same same situation Monday.
NEXT WEEK: We expect an increase in the coverage of afternoon and evening showers and storms Tuesday through Friday as moisture levels rise, and the air aloft becomes a bit colder. Highs drop back into the 80s due to cloudy periods and the scattered showers.
THE LAND OF VOODOO: The GFS continues to advertise a tropical low in the Southwest Gulf of Mexico at mid-month…
There has been good run to run consistency in this feature, and it is a favored area for early season development. We will keep watching model trends.
The Atlantic basin today is quiet, and over in the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Blanca will move up toward the southern tip of Baja California this weekend while weakening rapidly.
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.
