...Afternoons Getting Hotter..

Look for hotter afternoons across Alabama for the next several days;
we expect the temperature to peak somewhere between 90 and 95 degrees
on a daily basis through the weekend. The chance of rain for the
northern half of the state today will remain small, as a relatively
dry airmass remains in place. Most of the showers and storms should
remain over the southern half of the state, although a few widely
scattered storms could show up over the western third of the state as
well.

TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: A surface front is slowly drifting down in
our direction, and that could serve to enhance the chance of scattered
showers and storms by tomorrow afternoon. A few might even drift down
into the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama tonight. In
addition to the surface front, the disturbance that has been over
Texas is forecast to weaken, but move in our general direction. This
means that we will have a much better chance of scattered showers and
thunderstorms tomorrow through Sunday. As usual, rainfall distribution
will be uneven, but some spots could receive one to two inches on
these three days. There will be some decent intervals of sunshine
along the way, and afternoon highs will remain generally in the low to
mid 90s.

Next week, a moist, maritime tropical airmass will linger across
Alabama, and the daily heating process should lead to scattered,
mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Another words, pretty
routine weather for July in Alabama.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The tropical wave in the Atlantic, about 1000 miles
east of the Windward Islands, is hanging on by a thread this morning.
Most of the deep convection around the wave has vanished, but the
feature is still identifiable as it moves steadily to the west. Very
dry air in the path of the system should prevent it from growing into
a major system, and it could dissipate before it reaches the Lesser
Antilles. Elsewhere, the Atlantic basin remains rather quiet at this
time.

AT THE BEACH: You will have to dodge scattered showers and
thunderstorms along the coast through the weekend, but there will be
intervals of sunshine each day. Afternoon highs along the immediate
coast will be in the 87 to 90 degree range, and the sea surface
temperatures remain in the mid 80s. Our SKYCAM site at the Phoenix
All-Suites in Gulf Shores yesterday recorded only 0.02" during the day
thanks to a passing shower. Heavier rain fell to the west, where
Mobile picked up 1.73". Mobile County was under a flash flood warning
at one point during the early afternoon hours.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: The Desert Southwest continues to sizzle. Highs
yesterday included 114 at Las Vegas and 116 at Phoenix. The hottest
temperature in the nation was 126 degrees at Death Valley, California.
West Yellowstone, Montana dropped to a frosty 32 degrees early
yesterday morning.
