...Hot and Dry...

It's summertime in Alabama. You would expect things to be hot and
dry, just not this hot and this dry. There are no real prospects for
change in sight anytime soon, although we will be pulling for a big
eastern U.S. trough by next weekend that could deliver us a good
chance of rain and storms. Nothing in the drought busting department
by any means.

HOT, HOT, HOT: I started to talk about there being potential for
record highs today across the area. The record high for today in
Birmingham is 100F. We are going to fall just short of that. For the
past few days, dry air from on high in the atmosphere has mixed down
to the surface about 10 a.m., allowing temperatures to soar. That did
not happen today, at least at Birmingham. If it had, we might have
seen 100F.

TENNESSEE STORMS: A stationary front north of the border has resulted
in scattered storms across the Volunteer State. Several severe
thunderstorm warnings have been in effect. But this activity is not
moving our way.

REST OF YOUR WEEKEND: Tomorrow's record high at Birmingham is 99F, so
we will have another shot at a record. Skies will be partly cloudy
and there will be plenty of haze, much like today. Tomorrow will be
dry again, although moisture levels will be increasing, so it will
feel more humid.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Increased moisture levels will mean the return of
seasonal daily scattered thunderstorms each day. This means that the
heat will be backing off just a bit. Instead of the mid and upper
90s, lower 90s will be more common. As the trough deepens over the
eastern U.S. late in the week, a frontal boundary will come southward.
It should be close enough to produce thunderstorms on Friday and
again on Saturday as it settles into the area.

TROPICS: The tropical Atlantic is quiet for now. No development
from the low that moved across Florida this week. No othjer
disturbances of note in the tropics. We will be monitoring that
frontal system that will move offshore next weekend. That would be a
logical spot for tropical development this time of year.

ON THIS DATE IN 1944: An outbreak of violent tornadoes across eastern
Ohio, northern West Virginia and western Pennsylvania. 100 people
were killed in Shinnston WV, which was leveled. A total of 154 people
were killed and 966 were injured. The tornadoes defied previous
meteorological thought by crossing mountainous terrain. A family of
tornadoes killed thirty people along a 85 mile path from near
Wellsburg, WV to near Uniontown, Maryland. As many as four violent
tornadoes were on the ground simultaneously during the evening hours.
The most devastating tornado of the evening was an F4 monster that
carved a sixty mile path from near Pine Grove to near Alpena. One
hundred people died in this tornado, including thirty at Shinnston.
