...Another Hot One...

GOOD MORNING! It was a hot one again on Saturday. Temperatures topped out
in the middle and upper 90s across the state. It was 96F at the Birmingham
Airport, 98F at the National Weather Service in Calera, 97F in Anniston and
99 in Tuscaloosa. I thought someone would hit the century mark, but it
didn't happen at any of the reporting stations in Alabama. It did happen
just across the border in Josh Johnson's town: Meridian, Mississippi, where
it was 100F.

AND FOR TODAY: Today promises to be a lot like yesterday. It will be hot
and hazy again with another Code Orange Air Quality Alert for Ozone. As the
mercury rises through the middle 90s, a few updrafts will be able to break
through the cap and start some nice little thunderstorms. One such storm
developed just west of downtown Birmingham on Saturday afternoon. It
dropped some one inch amounts in a swath just west of US-78 between Mulga
and Graysville. Areas northwest of Brookwood in Tuscaloosa County may have
picked up over 2.5 inches. Expect heavy brief heavy rainfall and deadly
lightning with any storms that form. Catch 'em while you can. 'cause they
won't last long.

TONIGHT AND FORWARD: Any leftover storms that do develop will dissipate
this evening. Storms will be isolated on Monday and widely scattered on
Tuesday, so the Fourth of July should live up to its normal billing, hot,
hazy and humid with scattered storms during the afternoon and evening.
Highs will be in the 90s and lows will be in the 70s through Wednesday.

Showers and storms will be in the increase by Wednesday and moisture levels
rise. Then a frontal system will edge down into North Alabama on Thursday
and we will see a good chance of showers and thunderstorms. The front will
settle into Central Alabama and stall on Friday, keeping us in decent rain
chances. We can use them.

ON THIS DATE IN 1776: The Continental Congress voted for independence in
Philadelphia as rain threatens again. Like the previous day, another late
morning thunderstorm struck the city.
