Good morning! Expect a wet day today.  Widespread rain and thunderstorms.  Some storms could be strong, with damaging wind gusts.  Another Marginal Severe Risk from SPC. Changes are on the way.  A cool Front will sweep across the state Friday.  More showers and storms  are likely on Friday ahead of then front.  Behind the front, we are in for a nice treat. The weekend looks very nice indeed with lower humidity, comfortable days and cooler nights.  Here’s my brief video forecast discussion. 

TODAY:  Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 4pm. High near 81. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 mph in the afternoon.  Low tonight 68. 

Once again today we are in a Level 1 Marginal Severe Risk from SPC. 

FUTURE RADAR:  Rain and thunderstorms will be much more numerous today than yesterday. 

NEXT FEW DAYS:  Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through Friday.  Some storms will be strong.  Highs mostly in the 80’s.   Low at night near 70.  Cold Front will sweep through the state by Friday. That will set the stage for nice, nearly perfect weather the weekend.  Comfortable.

The Storm Prediction Center will keep us in a Severe Risk through Friday. A Level 2 Risk covers much of southeast Alabama ahead of the approaching cool front.

Here’s the additional rainfall potential through Friday.    

BEACH FORECAST:    Wet and stormy Friday.  Very nice weekend ahead.  Gulf water 82.
