Well here it is my much anticipated quarterly seasonal forecast...this one is for the summer (June-August). I expect drought conditions to continue and to worsen in June into July as high pressure remains over the southeastern states. This hot and dry air mass will DOMINATE the weather for much of the summer over the southeast. The first 3 weeks of June could turn out to be very very dry and hot! Afternoon thunderstorms could offer some relief in the mid to late summer period as the southeastern high drifts to the east allowing more gulf moisture to move into the area. The added moisture will help "kickoff" heat of the day storms offering some much needed rainy days in July and August. Keep in mind though, if the high does not move east, hot and dry weather will continue.

In all....hotter than average and drier than average for the summer of 2007.
Look for updated summer forecast in the future.

I will have my tropical weather outlook for you Friday.
