...The heat backs off a bit...

For most Alabama communities, yesterday was the hottest day so far this
year. Montgomery led the way with 98 degrees, with Tuscaloosa reaching 96
and Birmingham 95. The good news is that the heat will back off a little
today, with afternoon temperatures peaking in the low 90s in most places.
Not exactly an Arctic blast, but at least a slight improvement.

We will have to maintain the chance of a few thunderstorms this afternoon,
but they should be relatively widely scattered. Drier air to the north of us
never really makes it down here, so for the weekend we are going with your
standard mid-July forecast with hot and humid days, ample sunshine, and the
risk of a passing afternoon thunderstorm in a few spots. Highs over the
weekend will be in the 88 to 92 degree range.

STORMY TUESDAY: Afternoon storms yesterday produced winds strong enough to
knock down trees and power lines over much of east Alabama. Our weathernet
station at the Talladega Superspeedway measured a peak wind gust of 52 mph,
while 49 mph was observed in downtown Anniston on Noble Street. A mobile
home caught fire in Wadley due to a lightning strike.

In northwest Alabama, rainfall amounts of 4 to 5 inches were responsible for
flooding over western parts of Colbert and Franklin counties. Those same two
counties were under a tornado warning for a while, but no major damage was
reported from the storms.

OZONE: A code yellow forecast for the Birmingham metro area today, meaning
air quality is expected to be moderate.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, and tropical storm formation is
not expected for at least the next three days.
