...Another Hot Afternoon...

Get ready for another hot day in late May. Most communities will reach the
90 degree mark this afternoon, and like the past couple of days a few small,
isolated showers or storms will probably fire up during the peak of the
daytime heat. The best coverage of showers and storms should be to the north
of here, near the Tennessee border.

A surface front will drift southward tomorrow through Tennessee, and should
mean a slight increase in the coverage of afternoon showers and storms
tomorrow, but they will remain scattered, and the weather will stay hot and
humid.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: No big change through the holiday weekend. An upper
air ridge over the southeast U.S. should mean that the surface front
dissipates, leaving us in a hot and muggy weather pattern. Afternoon storms
will be possible Saturday through Monday, but they will be widely scattered.
And, afternoon temperatures will peak somewhere around 90 degrees for most
Alabama communities.

AT THE BEACH: Nice weather for folks that are beach-bound; about 7 to 9
hours of sunshine day with just a few widely scattered showers or storms.
Highs will remain in the 83 to 87 degree range, and the sea water
temperatures are in the upper 70s just off the Alabama and Northwest Florida
coast.

WATCHING FOR ALBERTO: The 2006 hurricane season begins in about one week;
the first named storms of the season will be Alberto, Beryl, Chris, and
Debby.
Most of the major hurricanes hold off until August and September.

HEATING UP: Alabama's hottest spot yesterday (among the official reporting
stations) was Dothan with 95 degrees. The nation's hot spot was Wink, Texas
with an amazing 110 degrees.
