...Afternoon Storms Thinning Out..

Many Alabamians are gearing up for a big Independence Day celebration
tomorrow, and it looks like most barbecues and fireworks shows will go
on without having to deal with thunderstorms. Now, having said that,
it is almost impossible for us to rule out the chance of a storm on a
July afternoon in Alabama, but drier air slipping into Alabama from
the north means that any afternoon showers and storms though the
mid-week period will be few and far between. And, you know it will be
hot. We are expecting highs in the low to mid 90s today, with mid 90s
tomorrow and Thursday. Parts of West Alabama might even reach the
upper 90s. The chance of any one spot getting wet tomorrow evening at
fireworks time (around 9:00) is only about one in ten.
LOOKING AHEAD: Moisture levels should slowly increase late in the
week, and scattered afternoon showers and storms may become a little
more numerous by Friday and the weekend. Afternoon highs will remain
in the low to mid 90s. And, we are expecting rainfall and temperatures
to be near normal through mid-July as the most intense heat remains
over the Southwest U.S.
AT THE BEACH: Fairly routine summer weather can be expected along the
central Gulf coast through the rest of the week; about 6 to 8 hours of
sunshine each day with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms from
time to time. The high each afternoon along the immediate coast will
be in the 87 to 90 degree range, and the sea water temperature at the
Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was a very warm 86 degrees. We
should also point out that the Atlantic basin remains quiet and
tropical storm formation is not expected through the rest of this
week.
ONE PERCENT HUMIDITY: Some of the driest air I have noticed in a long
time over the cooking Southwest U.S. late yesterday afternoon. These
observations were taken at 5 pm, MDT:
* Moab, Utah, temperture 104, dew point +1, humidity 1% (yes, 1%!)
* Bryce Canyon, Utah, 87 degrees, dew point -2, humidity 3%
* Grand Canyon Airport (Ariz.) temperature 93, dew point zero, humidity 3%
MONDAY'S RAIN: Rain totals from across Alabama yesterday included .90"
at Inverness, .79" at Roanoke, .78" at the ABC 33/40 Studio in
Riverchase, .61" at the SKYCAM site atop the Daniel Building on 20th
Street in downtown Birmingham, and .45"at Cordova,
ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Some big time rain totals and flooding
problems along the middle Texas coast yesterday; the rain total at
Corpus Christi was 9.86". The total in Houston was 1.11". The crank is
cranking up a notch over the Southwest U.S,; the high yesterday in
Phoenix was 112; hottest spot was Death Valley, California with 119.
