...Unsettled Weather Continues...

KEEP THE RAIN GEAR HANDY: Our weather pattern will remain fairly wet
through Saturday, thanks to a deep upper trough over the eastern half
of the nation, and a deep layer of moisture that is locked in place
across Alabama and the Deep South. We will continue to forecast
occasional showers and thunderstorms through Saturday, with potential
for an additional three inches of rain statewide. For now the chance
of severe weather still looks small, but we would not be shocked to
see a few flash flood warnings along the way due to the heavier
downpours. And, like recent days, temperatures will remain below
average, with highs in the mid 80s for most places.

THE WEEKEND: While showers and storms remain likely Saturday, they
should begin to thin out a bit Sunday and Monday as an upper air ridge
begins to rebuild across the southern U.S. Looks like afternoon highs
next week will be close to 90 degrees with some risk of scattered,
mostly afternoon and evening showers and storms on a daily basis.

GULF COAST WEATHER: You will have to dodge a few passing showers and
thunderstorms each day through Sunday, but there will be around 3 to 5
hours of sunshine each day. Afternoon highs will be in the mid to
upper 80s along the immediate coast, and the sea water temperature
last night at the Dauphin Island Lea Lab was 85 degrees. And, once
again, the tropical Atlantic basin is very quiet and you won't have to
worry about tropical storms or hurricanes in coming days.

WEDNESDAY'S RAIN: Some of the heavier rain totals around Alabama
yesterday included 2.80" at Clanton (ABC 33/40 Skycam location), 2.60"
at Moundville, 2.17" at Plantersville, 1.45" at Alexander City, 1.13"
at Auburn, 1.07" at the Shelby County Airport in Calera, and 1.03" at
Mobile.

SEATTLE HEAT: Temperatures soared into three digits around Western
Washington yesterday afternoon, hitting a record 102 degrees at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport between 2 and 3 p.m. Other
Weather Service readings included 102 in Kenmore and Puyallup, 101 in
Bellevue and Seattle's University District and 100 degrees in Renton
and Lake Forest Park. It was the hottest day on record at Seattle.

WEATHER CALL: Weather call is our new system that provides you and
your family a great way of receiving severe weather watches and
warnings. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you
will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist James Spann, 24
hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed
map of the threat area. You may also use any of the email addresses to
set up the warning to be delivered by SMS text messaging to your cell
phone. Sign up on the web at abc3340.com.
