...Hazy Sun; A Few Storms...

This is a new day, but we have an old forecast. Hot with hazy sunshine, and
a few scattered afternoon storms. The mercury should peak somewhere between
95 and 100 for most communities, and the chance of any one spot getting a
storm today is about one in four. Like yesterday, the storms that do form
will be strong with some potential for high wind and small hail. All summer
storms contain wicked cloud to ground lightning that is so dangerous.

COOLER DAYS: We still believe a significant weather change is ahead for
Alabama this weekend. An upper air trough will develop over the eastern part
of the nation, and will push a surface front down to near the
Alabama/Tennessee border by Saturday evening. This should mean an increase
in the number of showers and storms over the weekend, with cooler daytime
temperatures due to the clouds and showers. Some communities will fail to
reach the 90 degree mark on both Saturday and Sunday, a welcomed break from
the sizzling heat in recent days.

Showers and storms should remain active into early next week as the front
slowly loses its identity over North Alabama.

BERYL UPDATE: Tropical storm Beryl will pass just east of Cape Cod today on
the journey northeastward into the North Atlantic. The rest of the Atlantic
basin is quiet.

STORMS OF SUMMER: There was major structural damage in Sumiton yesterday due
to a wet microburst from a "pop-up" thunderstorm. Wind damage was also
reported from storms near Good Hope, Childersburg, Alexandria, and around
Birmingham's south side. Lightning was responsible for a house fire in the
western part of Hoover just off South Shades Crest road.
