...Summer Showers Continue...

Moisture laden air will hang over Alabama again today, and like
previous days we will deal with more showers and thunderstorms in
scattered spots. The chance of any one spot getting wet today is about
one in three, and while most of the showers and storms will come this
afternoon, we can't rule out a few morning showers. And, because of
the limited amount of sunshine, daytime temperatures will remain below
normal, with most spots reaching only the mid to upper 80s this
afternoon.

Not much change in this pattern is expected through Friday, with more
clouds than sunshine tomorrow and Friday with the continued risk of
scattered showers and thunderstorms.

THE WEEKEND: The primary American computer model, is beginning to hint
that drier air will invade North Alabama over the weekend, with the
majority of the showers and storms shifting down into the southern
half of the state. This is in response to a very high amplitude upper
trough forming over the eastern seaboard during the next few days. We
won't buy into this scenario just yet, but if the model continues to
trend in this direction, we will greatly reduce the chance of showers
on Saturday and Sunday.

MORE RAIN TO CELEBRATE: Rainfall totals around Alabama yesterday
included 1.47" in the southeast part of Trussville, 1.30" at Crumly
Chapel (just northwest of Birmingham), 1.00" at Redmont Park near
English Village in Mountain Brook, .94" in downtown Birmingham at the
SKYCAM site atop the Daniel Building on 20th Street, and .83" at
Blountsville. While most of the storms yesterday were not severe, a
funnel cloud was seen briefly around midday in Limestone County near
Mooresville. It did not touch the ground.

AT THE BEACH: We are expecting routine summer weather along the
central Gulf coast through the weekend; about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine
each day with a few scattered showers and storms around from Panama
City westward to Gulf Shores. Highs along the immediate coast will be
in the 87 to 90 degree range, and as of last night the sea water
temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab was 84 degrees.

TROPICS: While a few disorganized waves are seen across the Caribbean
and the Atlantic, tropical storm formation is not expected through the
rest of the week.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: The coldest spot in the U.S. yesterday
morning was Pilot Point, Alaska with 37 degrees. Spincich Lake (yep,
that is the correct spelling), Michigan dropped to 39 degrees.Peoria,
IL was soaked with 1.38" of rain, and there was even a little rain in
the Desert Southwest, where Phoenix reported .02". That didn't help to
ease the heat too much; the high in Phoenix yesterday was 112
degrees. Other hot cities yesterday included Rapid City, South Dakota
with 101 and Omaha, NE with 100. The hottest spot was Death Valley, CA
with 118 degrees.
