...Sunshine Hard to Find...

Yesterday with the ninth consecutive day with measurable rain in Birmingham,
and it looks like the string of wet days will continue into the new month of
July. A blanket of deep moisture is draped across Alabama and the deep
south, and in this kind of pattern a shower or thunderstorm will be possible
at almost anytime during the next four days. Of course, the rain won't be
continuous, and there will be intervals of sunshine, but the overall pattern
still looks fairly wet as we head into the Independence Day weekend.

In fact, a rather strong upper air trough is expected to swing through here
on Saturday which could bring the possibility of heavy rain and even the
chance of some flooding.

The models are suggesting that showers and storms will thin out a bit early
next week, but we aren't ready to buy that solution completely until it
actually happens.

AT THE BEACH: While there will be scattered showers and storms around the
Gulf coast through the weekend, they won't be as numerous as what we are
experiencing up this way. About 5 to 7 hours of sunshine each day with
daytime temperatures peaking in the mid to upper 80s. The water temperature
at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was 84 degrees.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains very quiet and tropical storm formation
is not expected through the holiday weekend.

SOGGY JUNE: J.B. Elliott will have June rain totals on our afternoon package
later today, but Birmingham would up with over seven inches of rain for the
month. Mobile ended June with over sixteen inches! Out in Texas, Austin saw
over 14 inches during June, making it the second wettest June on record.
