Good Morning!  This current very warm pattern with only isolated showers continues. There has been very little day to day change. It’s a forecast which resembles an early summer preview. Spotty random showers and a few thundershowers will be widely scattered, and most prominent in the afternoon and evening hours today and through the weekend. Highs will reach the upper 80’s today through Sunday.  We may flirt with 90 Monday through Wednesday.  Total expected rainfall in the next 7 days is rather scant. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Continued very warm.  Mostly cloudy with a few sunbreaks. High 87.  Light wind.  Random, scattered showers and storms will be around, in spots, Late this afternoon & tonight. Very mild tonight.  Low 64. (Normal hi/lo 81/55)

Future Radar favors this evening for the best chance of random showers and storms.  Good luck.  It has now been 14 days since the last measurable rain in Montgomery and MGM. 

NEXT FEW DAYS:  Little day to day change.  Spotty random showers/storms are possible through Sunday, with the probability relatively small at each location.  Monday through Wednesday looks mostly dry, with the rain chance under 20%, but not zero.

Here’s the expected rainfall for the next 7 days. Time to get out the garden hose.  Not much rain is expected for central and south Alabama. 

Here’s the 10 day model blend temperature trend. 

BEACH OUTLOOK:  It’s a great forecast and it looks dry. Warm and nice.  Unfortunately a high rip current risk continues, especially from Destin to about Panama City.  Moderate elsewhere.  The Gulf Water temperature has warmed to 76.
