...Heat Backs Off...

GOOD MORNING: I hope your backyard received beneficial rains on Friday
afternoon. Some rainfall amounts across the state included:

2.71 at Birmingham Airport
1.38 at Evergreen
1.19 at De Soto State Park
1.10 at Crossville
0.29 at Fort Payne
0.18 at Anniston
0.10 at Cullman
Trace at Shelby County Airport
From ABC3340 Weather Watchers::
Justin Maxwell in Leeds reports 0.83
Roger Heath in Crumly Chapel reports 0.16

TEMPS BACK OFF: Our run of extremely hot temperatures may be ready for a
little break. Most locations will top out near 90 degrees today across
North Central Alabama. Temperatures will be closer to normal over the
coming week with highs near 90 and lows near 70.

RAIN CHANCES: It appears that we will be sandwiched between the developing
low to the southeast and a trough of low pressure to our northwest. This
will give us decent shower and storm chances through Monday when the low
turns northward and passes to the east of us. Drier air should filter in
behind the low and a typical summertime pattern will ensue.

TROPICS: An upper level low near the Bahamas still has the potential to
develop into a tropical depression as it moves toward Florida. The low
should move inland later today before it has time to become a tropical
storm. It will curve northward into Georgia and the Carolinas early next
week, accompanied by heavy rains.

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: On the basis of meteorological data and a radio
report from a shrimp boat, the Weather Bureau in New Orleans issued the
first advisory on a tropical depression in the Bay of Campeche at 10:30 PM.
The depression was located 300 miles south of Brownsville TX. The storm
would become Hurricane Audrey, moving northward over the next 3 days and
striking near the Louisiana/Texas border causing extreme loss of life.
