...Very Pleasant Weather...

Picture perfect weather will headline our forecast package for today. Maximum available sunshine, low humidity, excellent visibility, and cooler than normal temperatures. Most places will see a high in the 77 to 81 degree range today with a gentle breeze out of the north.

The dry air stays in place for the rest of the week, so we should remain rain-free through Friday with a gradual day to day warming trend.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: We should begin the holiday weekend with dry and warm weather on Saturday, but a weather system in southeast Texas could trigger a few showers by Sunday afternoon. Showers and storms will be more likely on Memorial Day as the system moves eastward along the Gulf coast.

There are indications that a fairly deep pool of moist air will hang over Alabama much of next week, meaning relatively wet weather in the May 30-June 3 time frame.

AT THE BEACH: Lots of sunshine in the days ahead along the Gulf coast. A few scattered showers and storms will show up over the weekend, with rain most likely late Sunday and Monday. Daytime temperatures will rise into the low to mid 80s, and the sea water temperature was up to 81 degrees at Pensacola late yesterday.

A HOT DAY IN MAY: A dry north wind helped push temperatures well into the 90s over southwest Alabama yesterday, Mobile soared to 97 degrees. Other highs included 93 at Evergreen, 94 in Dothan, 93 in Montgomery, and 91 in Tuscaloosa. In contrast, the high yesterday at Desoto State Park, atop Lookout Mountain in northeast Alabama, was only 78. The national hot spot yesterday was Death Valley, CA with 111. The high in Las Vegas was 103.
