...Hot, Humid Summer Weather...
The weather won't change much across Alabama today; we expect a good
supply of sunshine this morning, followed by a few widely scattered
showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. The
weather will remain hot and humid, with a high between 91 and 95
degrees for most neighborhoods. Another words, a very routine day for
late June in Alabama.
TOMORROW/SATURDAY: The upper air pattern will gradually change during
the next 48 hours, as an upper trough becomes established over the
eastern part of the nation. This will drive a surface front in our
direction, and accordingly we expect to see an increase in the
coverage of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and on Saturday.
Generally speaking, we expect rainfall amounts between one-half and
one inch for most communities on these days, but this is summer, and
rainfall distribution won't be all that even. The good news is that
some spots will probably see over one inch from heavier downpours.
SUNDAY/MONDAY: Drier air will creep into North Alabama Saturday night,
and at this time it looks like most of the showers and storms on
Sunday and Monday will come over the southern half of the state. The
chance of getting wet around Birmingham, Anniston, Tuscaloosa, and
Gadsden looks pretty slim on both of these days. The humidity will be
a little lower, and nights slightly cooler.
INDEPENDENCE DAY PREVIEW: At this point it looks like the weather next
Wednesday, the Fourth of July, will be hot and humid with a good
supply of sunshine, and just a handful of afternoon storms. The
afternoon high should be in the low or mid 90s.
AT THE BEACH: We expect very normal summer weather conditions along
the Gulf coast for the next seven to ten days; about 7 to 9 hour of
sunshine on a daily basis with the risk of a few passing showers or
storms from time to time. Along the immediate coast, the afternoon
high will be in the 87 to 90 degree range, and the sea water
temperatures are generally in the mid 80s. Tropical storm or hurricane
formation is not expected through the weekend.
WEDNESDAY STORMS: Strong storms fired up again yesterday afternoon
across Alabama. Rain totals included 1.26" at Childersburg, .76" at
Mount Olive, .65" at Mt. Cheaha, .38" at Oneonta, and .36" at
Sylacauga. Six workers were injured at Drummond Company's Shoal Creek
Mine in western Jefferson County (near Oak Grove) when lightning
struck drilling equipment and ignited methane gas that was in the
area. Three of those injured were listed in critical condition last
night at UAB Hospital in Birmingham.
ROAMING: More rain over Texas yesterday and last night; the total at
Dallas/Fort Worth was 1.84", while Abilene was soaked with 2.42".
Hottest spot in the nation was Gila Bend, Arizona with 114 degrees.
Libby, Montana reported a low of 31 degrees.
