...Storms Remain Widely Spaced...

Once again today we will mention a chance of showers and thunderstorms
across Alabama, but they will be widely separated. The best chance of
a shower or storm will come this afternoon from about 2:00 until 7:00
p.m., and the best coverage should be over the eastern counties,
closer to an upper air trough over the Atlantic seaboard. Otherwise,
the day will be partly to mostly sunny with a high in the low 90s in
most communities. Some towns near the Georgia border might fail to
reach 90 again today.

OUR WEEKEND: Afternoons will be heating up over the weekend; we expect
a high in the low 90s tomorrow, and mid 90s on Sunday with a good
supply of hazy sunshine both days. You sure can't rule out a rogue
shower somewhere across the state this time of the year, but moisture
will be very limited, and with no upper air forcing it sure looks like
most of the state will be dry.

NEXT WEEK: The GFS continues to show a nice upper trough developing
from the Great Lakes southward to the central Gulf coast by the middle
of next week. This should drive a significant cold front down this
way, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms by Tuesday
night or Wednesday. This system has the potential to bring one-half to
one inch of rain to a pretty good chunk of Alabama.

TROPICS: A disturbed area of weather continues over the Northwest
Caribbean, but the upper air winds are not especially favorable for
development during the next few days. Air Force reconnaissance will
investigate the area later today if necessary. The rest of the
Atlantic basin remains very quiet.

AT THE BEACH: About 9 to 11 hours of sunshine for the central Gulf
coast this weekend with only a few isolated showers. The sea water
temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was a toasty 85
degrees.

THURSDAY'S STORMS: While a pretty percentage of Alabama remained dry,
strong to locally severe thunderstorms formed in scattered pockets
across Alabama yesterday. Hail to the size of quarters fell over the
southern part of Talladega County around Sycamore and Sylacauga. Dime
to penny sized hail fell over parts of Cherokee County between
Gaylesville and Spring Garden. Some rain totals included 1.23" at the
Shelby County Airport in Calera, 1.06" at Sylacauga, .47" at Weaver,
and .29" at Gardendale. Vic Bell, our weather watcher in Black Creek,
northeast of Gadsden, reported last night: My power was out for more
than two hours following the first storm that grazed me on the
southeast side. I watched it rain so hard for 10-15 minutes that the
side of Big Mountain was completely washed out....less than half a
mile away. I got a few sprinkles. Then another storm grazed me on the
other side and now a third storm is right on my doorsteps on that same
side. My total rainfall.....a trace. :(
