...June Ends With More Showers...

An unsettled, generally wet weather pattern will persist across Alabama and
the deep south for at least the next three to five days. Rain chances will
remain above normal, with temperatures below normal. In the humid air today,
a shower or storm is possible at just about any time, although we will see a
few peeks of sunshine at times.

By Friday, a rather deep storm for early July will build over the southern
plains states, and could enhance the coverage of showers and storms for at
least a part of the holiday weekend. The heaviest rain is likely for the
northern half of the state, while showers and storms will be more widely
spaced down south, and near the coast. Some flash flooding is certainly
possible at some point between now and Sunday.

AT THE BEACH: Lots of folks southbound as we approach the Fourth of July
weekend. About 5 to 7 hours of sunshine each day for the central Gulf coast,
with the daily opportunity of scattered showers and storms. The sea water
temperature remains in the mid 80s.

BAMA DOWNPOURS: Flash flooding was reported in parts of Hoover, Homewood,
and Vestavia yesterday due to a slow moving cluster of storms that dropped
up to four inches of rain, based on NEXRAD estimates. At the ABC 33/40
studios in Riverchase, the total was 0.59", and just down the road in Helena
only a few sprinkles were reported.

Flooding was also an issue in Sumter county, where some roads were briefly
underwater.

WET, WET, WET: DFW Airport reported 2.58" of rain yesterday, with flooding
around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Six Flags Over Texas was closed due
to flooding. Tampa, FL was soaked with 4.16" of rain yesterday.
