...Some Heat Relief Ahead...

This should be the last day of really blistering heat for Alabama for a
while. The mercury will climb into the 95 to 100 degree range again this
afternoon, and like the last several days showers and storms will form
during the peak of the heat.

THE WEEKEND: The core of the hot air will move off to the west, allowing an
upper air trough to form over the eastern U.S., and a surface front to drift
down into North Alabama by tomorrow night. This will mean a much better
coverage of showers and storms tomorrow, and because of the clouds and rain
most places will stay below the 90 degree mark for a change.
On Sunday, the front will continue drifting southward, and it could very
well be that the best chance of rain will be south of I-20 by afternoon.

NEXT WEEK: For now it looks like the most widespread showers and storms on
Monday and Tuesday will be over the southern half of the state, but the
moisture will return to North Alabama on Wednesday after the front falls
apart.

AT THE BEACH: A mix of sun and clouds for the central Gulf coast this
weekend, with scattered showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures along
the immediate coast will range from 88 to 91, and the sea water temperature
late yesterday was a very warm 91 degrees (F).

BIG SOAKERS: A slow moving thunderstorm over Shelby County dropped 2.17" on
the Old Cahaba subdivision in Helena. Another ABC 33/40 Weather Watcher in
Helena reported 1.79", which all fell in only 30 minutes and dropped the
temperature from 97 to 70 degrees . That same storm dropped 0.42" at the ABC
33/40 Weather Center in Riverchase. Up in Northeast Alabama, another slow
moving summer storm dropped 1.28" at Ellisville in Cherokee County.
