Late Night Basketball

* Normally at this time, I would have just completed the main weather segment. But, tonight, ABC is carrying Game 4 of the NBA Finals. As I write this, the Pistons are beating the Spurs 76-57. I don't particularly have a favorite; I really can't get into professional basketball.

* Will be heading out to Meridian Community College tomorrow for the "College for Kids" program. I'll be doing a talk on weather safety. While tornadoes and hurricanes get the most publicity, lightning and floods are usually just as, if not more, deadly! So, we'll discuss a wide range of topics tomorrow.

* The weather looks quiet - a little less humidity than normal, but still pretty warm. Highs over the next few days will make it into the upper 80's and lower 90's with plenty of sunshine.

* Father's Day weekend looks fantastic - plenty of sun. The forecast becomes a bit more difficult by early next week. Computer model guidance had been indicating that there would be a "cut-off" upper low moving over the Southeast. This would have cause an increase in rain chances. But, over the past day or two, the model guidance has stopped suggesting this possibility. In fact, the models now suggest a strong ridge building in - meaning dry and warm for us. For now, we'll leave the early part of next week dry.

* All is quiet in the tropics. There are a few clusters of storms out there, but none that show any signs of development.
