Good morning!  It’s still hot, and gradually it’s getting more humid. We’ll be in the low to mid 90’s for the next few days. Combined with dewpoints in the mid and upper 60’s it will feel rather steamy, right on through the last official weekend of Summer and beyond.  There were a few spotty showers on the radar yesterday, and again today and for the next few days, isolated showers are not out of the question. But, each day the rain chance will be generally 20% or less.  Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Mostly sunny & hot.  Still Tolerable humidity.  High in the low to mid 90’s.  Isolated showers can’t be ruled out, but the rain chance is only 20% or less.  Partly cloudy tonight.  Low in the upper 60’s.

FUTURE RADAR:   Like yesterday, there could be some spotty showers on the radar…but here’s two hi-res models at 3:00PM.  You get the idea.  NOT MUCH.  Rain chance generally under 20%.

NEXT FEW DAYS:   It’s still hot and getting more uncomfortable. We’ll be in the low to mid 90’s for the next few days. Combined with dewpoints in the mid and upper 60’s it will feel steamy, through the last official weekend of Summer.  Rain chance are not zero, but generally 20% or less each day through early nest week.

DROUGHT MONITOR: A big escalation in the dryness on the new drought monitor map just released. No 91% of the state has some degree of dryness that’s up from 49% last week. 28% of the state is in a moderate drought. And there’s even a tiny amount of severe drought in West Alabama.. the rain prospects are still not great. Generally 20% or less most of the next several days as far as probabilities.

Here’s the projected rainfall through the next 7 days.  Obviously, not much.  The new Drought Monitor Map comes out tomorrow.

Here’s the 10 Day Temperature Trend.  Fall may begin Monday, but summer warmth will hang on.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK:  50 mph Tropical storm Gabrielle is likely to become a hurricane over the weekend in the central Atlantic. Generally Gabrielle will be a “fish storm”.

There’s an Area to Watch in the far east Tropical Atlantic as a tropical wave moves west if the far east Tropical Atlantic.  It has a low  20% chance of development in the next 7 days.  

Here’s the EURO Ensemble Member Lows  outlook through the next 10 days.  Right now, the central Atlantic looks like a hot bed.  We also notice The Bahamas and the Gulf, too.    

FALL COUUNTDOWN:  The Autumnal Equinox is now just 4 days away. The first official day of Fall:  Mon, Sep 22, 2025, 1:19 PM
