WEDNESDAY UPDATE:  Nice Break Between Storms – Friday Night Storm System

Good morning!  We get to enjoy a nice break between storm systems today and Thursday, before that next big storm system Friday.  Our day today starts off cloudy with some improvement by afternoon.  Temperatures will be very comfortable today and Thursday. The next significant storm system will arrive by Friday Night. Periods of rain and thunderstorms will drench the Gulf south. Rainfall amounts could be heavy in spots. Most of us are in a Marginal Severe Risk. Much of southwest Alabama is in a Level 2 risk.  The risk of showers and thunderstorms continues until Saturday AM. It will turn quite a bit cooler Sunday as sunshine returns. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

TODAY:    Cloudy through much of the morning.  Limited sunshine by afternoon.  High 74.  Partly cloudy tonight.  Low 53.
