...Sunny And Hot...

GOOD MORNING: Friday was another hot day across Alabama. With a strong cap
in place, it was hard for even clouds to form. With all that sunshine and
relatively dry air, temperatures soared. It was 93 at the Birmingham
Airport, 93 in Anniston and 96 in Tuscaloosa. It was 99 in Pensacola.

ANOTHER HOT ONE: You can expect another mostly sunny and hot day today.
Temperatures will be a degree or so warmer than yesterday.

RAIN CHANCES: Nil today. Very nearly nil tomorrow. Maybe a slight chance
on Sunday. Again on Monday. A slightly better chance on the Fourth. It
looks like as the high to the east loses its influence by Wednesday, rain
chances will be on the increase. The increased southerly flow and an
approaching frontal boundary spells a wet period by Thursday.

THE FOURTH: Independence Day looks like partly cloudy skies with just
scattered afternoon and evening storms. Prospects for evening fireworks
look promising for now.

TROPICS: A tropical wave moved through the Lesser Antilles last night.
The westward moving wave should encounter unfavorable upper winds, so
development is not expected. An area of showers and thunderstorms formed
over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico yesterday. This activity will be
moving northwestward. Again, upper level winds are unfavorable for
development.

ONE YEAR AGO: For the first time since modern tornado records began to be
kept in 1950, no tornado fatalities occurred in April, May and June.

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: Mount Baker WA closed out a record snowfall season
both for the United States and the verifiable world as the seasonal total
from July 1-June 30 closed out with 1140 inches. That topped the previous
record of 1,122 inches set at Mount Rainier, Washington, in the winter of
1971-1972.
