.DISCUSSION...

LET THE HOT AND HAZY DAYS OF SUMMER BEGIN

BIG BUBBLE NO TROUBLE? WELL...THATS USUALLY THE CASE. BUT BECAUSE
OF THAT BIG BUBBLE (RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST) TEMPS WILL CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 80S OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AGAIN...SOME
LOCALES MAY SEE 90. THOSE TEMPS COMBINED WITH MODEST LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL PROBABLY SPARK SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS...AS
IS THIS CASE WITH ONGOING CONVECTION NOW.

TEMPS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE AND POPS ON THE RISE BY WEEKS END
AND TO THE WEEKEND AS THE NEXT UPPER-TROF BEGINS TO PUSH THE RIDGE
OUT OF THE WAY. NOT THINKING THE WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE A
WASH...BUT THERE WILL BE SOME STORMS AROUND.

AFTER A FRONT SLIDES THROUGH SOMETIME IN THE SUNDAY TIME-
FRAME...THINGS SHOULD DRY OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS FAR EAST CENTRAL ALABAMA
