...Heat Levels On the Way Up...

Very typical July weather will highlight our forecast package for the rest
of this week. You probably know the typical elements this time of the year:
heat, humidity, haze, and "widely scattered afternoon showers and storms".
That is all part of the Alabama weather story for the next five to seven
days. There will be very subtle changes in the number and intensity of
afternoon showers and storms, but those changes are very hard to identify
days in advance.

Heat levels will be rising as an upper air ridge builds across the Deep
South. We should be in the low 90s today and tomorrow, with mid 90s likely
by Thursday and Friday. Some communities in West Alabama will probably reach
the upper 90s as the summer heat builds.

Any afternoon showers or storms for the next three days will be widely
scattered, meaning the chance of your lawn getting wet is about one in five.
The best chance of a shower will be from about 2:00 until 7:00 p.m.

WEEKEND PEEK: Long range model data suggests the upper ridge will begin to
shift slowly to the west late in the coming weekend, and if that is the case
we might see a slow increase in the number of afternoon showers or storms by
Sunday and Monday of next week.

TROPICS: A tropical wave is about 700 miles east of the Windward Islands in
the central Atlantic, and is moving steadily to the west. Development of the
wave is not especially likely during the mid-week period. And, an upper low
is north of Puerto Rico, but surface development is not especially likely in
that area.

ROAMING: Milwaukee, WI reported 2.46" of rain yesterday. Hottest spot in the
nation was Death Valley, CA with 117.
