Clear Skies Equal Crisp Morning!!!!!!



As most weather geeks have been talking about the past few days we woke up this morning to drier air and to some of the coolest temperatures in some time. I had a reading of 60F at my home in Madison and got a 59F reading in Huntsville. Most areas across North Alabama saw low 60s with some sheltered valleys in the upper 50s. Highs today and tomorrow will be in the 80s, but will be short lived as summer and slim rain chances return by the end of the week. Most areas will remain dry but we will mention an outside chance of a shower as moisture levels begin to rise, all in all a very slow and benign pattern. A quick look at the tropics.



Gert is a strong tropical storm with winds at 60mph and is passing just east of the island of Bermuda and will continue to turn out into the Atlantic. While we have seen many tropical waves in the last few weeks and 6 named storms it looks as if the tropical train will keep its right hand blinker on and keep turning them out into the Atlantic, with no models showing a tropical system threatening the U.S. coast anytime soon.
