...More Storms Today...

Showers and storms were fairly numerous across Alabama on Friday, but
rainfall amounts were generally light. Some of the heavier amounts
were along the Tennessee River south of Huntsville over to near
Decatur, near Jacksonville in East Alabama and along the Tuscaloosa/
Jefferson County line around Vance and areas to the north. The big
winners in the rainfall department were over Franklin County north of
Vina and over Fayette County near Fayette. Radar estimates indicated
that as much as five inches of rain may have fallen in those areas by
the slow moving storms.

MORE STORMS TODAY: The increase in showers and storms on Friday was
due to a weak frontal boundary that sagged down into Alabama,
providing the focus for the weather. That front is still around today,
and it will produce another batch of showers and storms by late
morning, lasting through the afternoon and evening hours. No
especially strong storms are anticipated, although many of the storms
will mean business with torrential rains and deadly lightning. Highs
today will be heavily dependent on rainfall. Areas that get rain
early may struggle to reach 90F, while sunnier areas will be warmer.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Showers and storms should be less
numerous on Sunday as the front washes out and a ridge of high
pressure builds into Alabama. This trend will continue into the first
half of the week, with low rain chances and temperatures that will be
heating up.

THE HEAT IS ON: Highs on Sunday will climb into the middle 90s. This
will be the start of some really hot weather. By Monday, upper 90s
will be common and the century mark will be likely for many locations
on Tuesday and Wednesday. Some places may see highs in the 105F
range, especially over western sections of the state. The heat will
back off by Thursday into the weekend as the high pressure ridge
retreats westward. Expect pretty typical summertime fare as we head
toward the weekend.

TROPICS: That impressive tropical wave that came off
the African coast early this week has been traversing cool water and
has not shown any signs of development. It is a little less than
1,000 miles east of the Leeward Islands this morning, steaming west
northwest or northwest. In addition to the cool water, the system has
been battling some wind shear and it is surrounded by dry air. It
will eventually move into an area that is more favorable for
development, however. Elsewhere, the tropical Atlantic is quiet with
one wave that has just moved off the African Coast and another over
the eastern Caribbean. The GFS shows no tropical development over the
next two weeks.

ON THIS DATE IN 1977: The city of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania experienced the worst weather disaster in its history as
a flash flood claimed 134 lives. The flash flood was produced by slow
moving thunderstorms that dumped heavy rain on the hills of the city.
The worst flooding occurred in Allegheny City, just northwest of
Pittsburgh.
