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 has pushed off the New England coastline and another sits over the southeastern part of the nation. Both of these will consolidate this weekend over the western Atlantic Ocean into the familiar “Bermuda-high” type of pattern and this will produce a stretch of 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.
