...Hello Summer...

GOOD MORNING! Summer officially arrived at 1:46 a.m. CDT. In the northern
hemisphere, it is the summer solstice. In the southern hemisphere, it is
the winter solstice. Today is the longest day of the year, at least in the
sense that it is the longest time between sunrise and sunset. It also marks
the day that the sun is furthest north in the sky, it is directly overhead
at latitude 23.7 degrees north, which is known as the Tropic of Cancer.
Finally, the equator is at its greatest tilt at the point of the summer and
winter solstices. Interestingly, today is not the warmest day of the year.
The northern hemisphere will be receiving more heat than it is losing for
the next several weeks as the sun is more directly overhead.
Correspondingly, temperatures will continue to rise until we reach our
hottest temperature in late July. Our hottest average temperature is 91,
between July 13th and August 15th. As the sun moves further south, we will
enter a negative heat budget, and temperatures will eventually cool.

YESTERDAY AND TODAY: One of our regional models did a great job predicting
the storms that formed yesterday over the Tennessee Valley and moved south
during the evening. Thinking the WRF will be right again today, showers and
storms will form by early afternoon again over Central Alabama, mainly south
of Birmingham. They should die out quickly after sunset. The storms should
be a little weaker, since the unstable effects of the upper low will be less
today.

REST OF THE WEEK: The upper low to the east of Alabama should slowly weaken
and lift out to the northeast with time. This will allow a ridge of high
pressure to build over Alabama. Temperatures will be on the rise, reaching
90 tomorrow, under partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of afternoon or
evening showers or storms. It should be partly cloudy, mostly dry, and hot
Thursday and Friday, when we will see temperatures in the lower to middle
90s. Moisture levels will increase some over the weekend, bringing back
scattered PM storms.
