...Storms return late tonight...

Weather maps this morning look more like April than July. The a very high
amplitude flow aloft continues over North America, with a deep trough over
the eastern states.

While today should be rain-free for most of Alabama, a strong disturbance
riding down the back side of the trough will affect Alabama will bring a
healthy round of showers and storms in here tonight into tomorrow morning.
At the moment it looks like the greatest window for rain and storms will
come from about 11:00 p.m. tonight through 12:00 noon tomorrow. Some of the
storms will be strong, possibly severe, and rainfall amounts could be heavy
as well.

As the system moves northeast, a nice surge of dry air will return to the
state tomorrow night, and should mean mostly dry weather for Sunday and
Monday. We are rarely comfortable taking out the chance of afternoon storms
this time of the year, but this pattern is very anomalous for July and we
could actually go two or three days with no afternoon storms early next
week.

AT THE BEACH: The sky along the coast will be cloudy at times tomorrow with
a good chance of a few passing showers or storms. Showers and storms will
thin out on Sunday and Monday with increasing amounts of sunshine. Daytime
temperatures will peak in the mid 80s tomorrow, and in the upper 80s on
Sunday. The water temperature is in the 85 to 88 degree range.

JULY TORNADO: A National Weather Service survey team discovered two small
areas of F0 tornado damage yesterday in Colbert county, in northwest Alabama
(from Wednesday night's storms). Only 44 tornadoes have been observed in
Alabama during the month of July since 1819.
