...Heat Levels Slowly Coming Down...

Over the next three days the afternoon heat will slowly back off across
Alabama as the core of the upper ridge over us breaks down, and a surface
front approaches from the north. We are forecasting mid 90s today, low 90s
tomorrow, and a high near 90 on Sunday. Some spots might even fail to reach
90 on Sunday. In addition, the coverage of afternoon showers and storms
should increase a bit; providing a few neighborhoods with some temporary
heat relief. The chance of any one spot getting a shower or storm today is
about one in four, with perhaps better odds tomorrow as the surface front
moves into North Alabama.

TWO IN A ROW: The Birmingham Airport reached 100 degrees yesterday, for the
second day in a row. The state hot spot was Dothan with a sizzling 102
degrees; Evergreen and Montgomery reached 101. The high was 99 at Anniston,
Auburn, Tuscaloosa, and Pinson.

TROPICS HEATING UP: A disturbance east of the Bahamas is becoming better
organized, and as winds aloft over the system become lighter there is come
chance a tropical depression could form over the weekend. This system will
move toward the west/northwest, in the general direction of the Atlantic
coast of the Carolinas.

Even if a tropical depression does not form, the moisture will set up a
heavy rain event for much of the eastern U.S. early next week.

AT THE BEACH: The weather looks fine for the central Gulf coast this weekend
and early next week, with about 8 to 10 hours of sun each day with only
isolated showers or storms. Temperatures will peak in the upper 80s on the
immediate coast (low 90s are likely inland), and the sea water temperature
at Pensacola last night was a very warm 89 degrees.
