...Welcome To June...

WELCOME TO JUNE: The sixth month of the year in Birmingham features
warm temperatures, increasing humidity and generally light
precipitation. It is the third driest month, averaging 3.78 inches of
rain. Only October and August are drier. Afternoon and evening
thunderstorms become a frequent occurrence, generally happening on
eight days during the month. Much of the rain that falls in the month
is associated with thunderstorms. On average, rain falls on nine days
during the month. As you would expect, cloudy periods are rare. The
sky is cloudy 22% of the time on average. Only August features less
cloudy time. The average PM relative humidity is on the rise, at 53%,
rising from the 45% observed in April. The average dewpoint reaches
65F, which is my definition of muggy. This is up from the 58F in
May. 12.09 inches of rain fell in June 1900, which stands as the all-
time record for the month. On June 1, the average high and low is
85/62. By June 30th, it will be 90/68. The coolest it has ever been
in June is 47F on June 16, 1917. It has been as warm as 106F on June
29, 1931.

HOT ONE SUNDAY: Several spots reached 90 degrees across Alabama on
Sunday. Dothan was the state's hot spot with 94F. Tuscaloosa hit
91F. Birmingham came up just of the 90 degree mark with 91F.

DRY AND HOT FOR YOUR MONDAY AND TUESDAY: Today and tomorrow will
look and feel a lot like yesterday with mostly sunny skies and highs
near 90. One lone thundershower formed in the Tennessee Valley late
yesterday afternoon. Can't rule out one today or tomorrow, but they
are not likely. Of course, the NWS Huntsville immediately issued a
Significant Weather Alert for it…much to JB's chagrin.

SHOWERS RETURN: Moisture levels will be on the rise and an
approaching front will help to trigger showers and storms on
Wednesday. This front will stick across the area and wait on a strong
low to move across Thursday. This will mean widespread showers and
storms then. They will depart by Friday morning, leaving clearing
skies and sunny hot weather for the weekend.

NORTHWEST FLOW LATE IN THE WEEK: We will find ourselves in a
northwest flow across Alabama starting late in the week. While that
means generally fine weather, it can also ship rogue thunderstorm
complexes our way down here in the Deep South. Those complexes can
pack quite a punch, so we will be looking out for one.

HURRICANE SEASON STARTS…NOW: Today marks the official start of the
North Atlantic Hurricane Season. It was back on this date that the
U.S. Weather Bureau began using female names to identify tropical
storms and hurricanes in the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of
Mexico. Om 1979, male names were added to the list that is reused
every six years. Tropical cyclones that make a tremendous impact have
their names retired. It is interesting to note that we are back on
the 1979 list this year. The following names have been retired from
the first list: Bob, David, Elena, Frederic, Gloria, Isabel and Juan.
