THE WEEKLY: May 27 - June 2

Welcome to the Memorial Day week edition of THE WEEKLY where we're going to discuss that Gulf disturbance I talked about last week that has now become super hybrid weird looking Alberto.

Check out Subtropical Alberto, trying his hardest to be a big deal before making landfall in the Florida Panhandle later today:

Tons of dry air wrapping in, but it's still a heavy rain maker for the western Panhandle, and a possible severe threat for the eastern Panhandle and southern Georgia.

So why does this matter for us? Because the remnants of Alberto will roll unimpeded in to the Ohio Valley over the next couple days. As of now the heaviest rain appears to pass west of us, but that doesn't mean we're out of the woods. You notice all of the severe weather is displaced off to the east of the center right now? That'll still be the case once it moves in to Indiana and Illinois by Wednesday:

This will bring unsettled weather Tuesday and Wednesday, with the potential to spark more storms Thursday and Friday as well. This will move north and a little northwest until Wednesday evening when it hits a low pressure coming in from the Dakotas. That's where uncertainty lies. Some models want to retrograde the low back in to the Ohio Valley, while others send it east in to eastern Canada.

In the meantime we'll be in the low 90s for Memorial Day, upper 80s on Tuesday, with variable temps the rest of the week as storms will pulse each day with the Alberto interaction.

Remember when we totally skipped Spring?
