..Strong Storms Possible...

Yesterday was one of the hottest days so far in 2005 for Alabama;
Birmingham's official high was 92 degrees. The hottest temperature in the
state (based on the official reporting sites) was 94 degrees, measured in
Tuscaloosa, Pinson, and Decatur. Anniston, Huntsville, and Muscle Shoals all
reported 93.

Today should be just as hot, but unlike yesterday we expect an active
thunderstorm pattern by afternoon as a surface front approaches from the
north. Some of the storms could be heavy with the potential for strong
winds, and a few severe thunderstorm warnings could be required.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: The front should become nearly stationary along the
Alabama/Tennessee border tomorrow, with drier air creeping into the
Tennessee Valley. That front will wash out on Sunday, leaving us in a moist,
tropical airmass so typical of summertime in Alabama. So, our forecast will
sound pretty familiar through Monday; partly sunny, very warm, very humid,
and the risk of a passing afternoon shower or storm every day. Temperatures
over the weekend should top out around 90 degrees.

AT THE BEACH: Good weather for the central Gulf coast over the Fourth of
July weekend; about 7 to 9 hours of sunshine daily with a few scattered
storms. High temperatures will be in the 87 to 90 degree range on the
immediate coast, and the water temperature is still in the low 80s.

TROPICAL UPDATE: A tropical wave in the Caribbean is moving to the west, and
upper air winds might be more favorable for development during the next
couple of days. Some of the models put this in the Gulf of Mexico early next
week with some potential for organization over the warm water.
