Discussion
High pressure continues to dominate the scene around here and is leading to an extended stretch of hot weather across the northern part of Alabama. One high pressure center is now positioned over the northeastern US and another sits over the southeastern part of the nation. Both of these will consolidate over the western Atlantic this weekend into the familiar “Bermuda-high” type of pattern and this will produce extended hot and humid conditions in much of the eastern US. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Basin tropical scene continues to be quiet partly as a result of some dry, desert air that has pushed to the west from northern Africa; however, there are signs that the “African-wave train” may get quite active later this month.
