Good morning!  On this last day of April, we are briefly in between storm systems, but there are more precious raindrops in our future.  There could be a few leftover showers today.

  Another Gulf coast storm system will deliver yet another round of rain and storms Friday night into Saturday.  Much cooler air is on the way.  Highs Friday and Saturday will likely only be in the 60’s.  Very chilly Jacket Weather nights are expected Saturday and Sunday nights with lows in the middle 40’s. A big change. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Chance of few leftover showers.  Cooler.  High 76

 (Normal hi/lo 82/56) 

TONIGHT:  Mostly cloudy. Dry though the evening.  Chance of some late night showers, pre-dawn Friday.  Low 56.

NEXT FEW DAYS:   The next Storm system will bring the next round of showers and storms by Friday night into Saturday, as low pressure tracks along the Gulf Coast.  Expect a major late season cool-down.  Highs Friday and Saturday only in the 60’s.  Mid 40s are likely Saturday and Sunday night. 

EXPECTED RAINFALL:.  Fingers crossed.  That Gulf storm system will bring another round of rain late Friday/Friday night/Saturday AM.  South Alabama could see 1-3” additional rain totals.

The 10 Day model Blend Temperature Trend. Expect a major late season cool-down.  Highs Friday and Saturday only in the 60’s.  Mid 40s are likely Saturday and Sunday night. 

BEACH FORECAST:  Have a plan B.  The probability of showers and storms with heavy downpours is highest from Friday through Saturday. Sunday looks better. HIGH Rip current risk Saturday and Sunday.
