WELCOME TO JULY: Thunderstorms are marching steadily south and eastward
across North and Central Alabama this afternoon along the subtle boundary
left by the outflow from a dying storm complex to our northwest last night.
The storms are feeding on some high instability over the state. Some of
the storms could be strong to severe, with downburst winds, heavy rains and
deadly lightning the primary threats. There might even be a little bit of
hail. The Storm Prediction Center had much of Alabama included in a Slight
Risk area for severe weather this afternoon, but removed that classification
on the late morning convective outlook, with the caveat that some of the
storms this afternoon could be briefly severe.

OUR FORECAST: A summer cold front is located to our north this afternoon.
It will have a hard time making it past Central Alabama, and may hang out
across the area as it slowly loses its identity.

More storms may fire along the front as it edges south overnight tonight.
Behind the front, parts of the Tennessee Valley may get a little temporary
respite from the humidity, with hints that some drier, 60 degree dew point
air may filter into that region tomorrow.

It appears that the focus for shower and storm development on Saturday will
be over Central Alabama, south of Birmingham, but there will still be a
chance across the I-20 corridor, with lesser chances as you move north.
Sunday should be a lot like Saturday, with better chances for storms as you
go south. With a northwesterly flow aloft, you can't rule out the
development of storm complex that slide southeast, so we will watch out for
those.

As the front fizzles, we will be in a typical summertime airmass with lots
of heat and humidity for the Fourth of July. This means that showers and
thunderstorms will develop with the heat of the day, dying after sunset in
time for the big fireworks displays across the area.

That same weather pattern will be with us through much of the coming week.
Temperatures will be seasonable with highs near 90, and lows near 70.

TOPIC: TROPICS: Watching a tropical wave moving through the Central
Caribbean. Conditions will become favorable for development of this system
as it moves northwestward toward the Yucatan Peninsula and the southern Gulf
of Mexico over the next three days. It would not be a big surprise to see a
tropical system develop in the Gulf and head toward New Orleans early next
week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1776: The Continental Congress was debating whether the 13
American Colonies should declare their independence from Great Britain on
this date in Philadelphia. The weather all spring and summer in
Philadelphia had been warm, and the past few days had been very steamy
indeed. On this morning, John Dickinson had just finished his great appeal
for remaining loyal to the British when rain began to fall. As John Adams
stood to deliver his oration for independence, a summer thunderstorm broke
over the city. Adams, who had been scared of lightning and thunder as a
child, delivered his own thunderous speech.
