To borrow a line: All’s Quiet on the Western Front. Right now the forecast doesn’t include any major weather moving into the area during the next few days. We will eventually get back into a shot for showers and storms, but we have a few days to get there.
The rest of this week looks nice and the weekend looks equally pleasant. I think we may see a few wayward showers or storms on Sunday. Not enough of a potential, though, to cancel any outdoor plans. Just maybe have a backup plan to duck inside for 20-30 minutes while any shower may pass.
Then Monday I think we finally get another shot for rain as an MCS slides through the area, diving toward the Gulf. The cluster of storms will be falling apart as it does so, so there is a good shot that a handful of us (closer to the coast and into Alabama) don’t actually see any rain at all from this thing – but I think there is a good enough shot for the rest of us that it warrants attention.
Looking at the NQLBOT-assisted data, it look slike the severe potential on Monday afternoon is pretty low.
That said, storms may be rather rowdy as it cruises toward the coast with heavy rain, lightning, wind gusts up to 50mph, and some small hail. The tornado threat should be quite low.
