THURSDAY Update:  Heat Advisory Continues – More Scattered PM Storms

Good morning!   The Heat Advisory continues for one more day today.  Heat index today will again be in the 105 to110 range.  Expect more Scattered to numerous random storms. A frontal system will enter the state.  The front will stall somewhere in extreme south Alabama.  The risk of scattered storms remains in the forecast this weekend. Temperatures will be a little more reasonable with highs in the 80’s by Sunday through the following Tuesday. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

Heat advisory continues through today.  Heat Alerts still cover a multi-state area.

Heat index today will be in the dangerous 105+ today.  And near 105 Friday.  Expect major improvement starting over the weekend.

FUTURE RADAR:  Scattered PM storms return to the radar today.  Sometimes storms can put on quite a show in this kind of heat.

NEXT FEW DAYS:   Scattered to numerous random storms are back in forecast each day through the weekend.  Expect mid 90’s Friday.  Eventually temperatures will be a little more reasonable with highs in the 80’s next Sunday through the following Tuesday.

Here’s the 10 Day Model Blend Temperature Trend.   Not as hot Sunday through Tuesday will be in the 80’s. 

A frontal system will enter the state. Then, the front stalls somewhere in south Alabama.  So, the risk of scattered storms remains in the forecast this weekend.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK:  NHC is not tracking any systems right now, but the EURO model show multiple areas that need to be monitored.   In fact the model is screaming about future development off the US East Coast.

BEACH OUTLOOK:  A stalled front near the coast will promote scattered showers and storms.  Gulf water temperature is 87.  Moderate Rip current risk.
