Good morning! Radar will be rather active again today. Scattered random storms. Sunshine will be limited at times. Highs will be in the low to mid 90’s. Over the weekend the number of storms will start to thin out and become widely scattered. That massive Heat Dome Upper High centered near the SE coast today will migrate westward to right over Alabama. This will promote the highest temperatures of the summer so far and the most dangerous heat indices so far. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. High near 93. Heat index100+. Random Scattered PM showers & Storms. Low tonight 75.
The center of the massive Heat Dome remains is briefly shifting eastward through the weekend. It will migrate westward again early next week.

NEXT FEW DAYS. Expect low to mid 90’s through Sunday, and upper 90’s to near 100 Monday through Wednesday. Low at night in the muggy mid 70’s. Very little day to day change. Scattered random mostly afternoon and evening storms. Storms will become very isolated Sunday through Tuesday.
