...Not Much Sun; Wet at Times...

A new day, but really an old forecast. Lots of tropical moisture and
occasional waves aloft will bring lots of clouds to the deep south today
along with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures
will remain well below normal for late June in Alabama, with highs only in
the low 80s again today (the normal high for today is 89 degrees).
The weather will remain generally unsettled through the coming holiday
weekend. We will see a few decent intervals of sunshine along the way, but
the overall weather pattern certainly doesn't seem to change much for the
next five to seven days. Another surface cold front will approach, and then
stall out to the north of Alabama by Saturday which could enhance shower and
storm formation early in the weekend.

WET AND COOL: So far during "meteorological summer" (since June 1), the
weather here has indeed been rather soggy and not very hot. The warmest
temperature so far in Birmingham is only 92 degrees, and we have reached or
exceeded 90 degrees on only five of the 28 days so far in June. Rain has
fallen on 18 of those 28 days, and Birmingham's total for the month is now
at 6.79". We need about one inch of additional rain for this month to make
the top ten list of wet Junes in Birmingham.

Our wettest June came in 1900 when the Birmingham total was 12.09". Down in
Mobile, they have exceeded that record total for Birmingham, with a whopping
14.89" so far this month.

AROUND THE HORN: Many homes and roads were flooded around Laurel, MS late
yesterday. Hottest placed in the nation yesterday with Death Valley, CA with
115. Custer, SD dropped to a frosty 35 degrees early yesterday.
