...Summer Rain Likely Today...

A WET THURSDAY: A moist and unstable airmass covers Alabama this
morning, and with an approaching surface front, we expect scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms across the state today. Most
communities should see one-half inch of rain, with isolated amounts to
one inch. A few strong storms are possible, but widespread severe
weather is not likely due to weak lapse rates and marginal
instability. The showers and storms will continue at times tonight.

TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: Drier air begins to work into the state
tomorrow; we will mention an outside risk of a stray shower tomorrow
morning, but the sun should out in full force by afternoon, and we
will continue to forecast a dry weekend with mostly sunny warm days
and clear nights. Afternoon highs on Saturday and Sunday should be in
the 86 to 90 degree range, and any showers should be limited to the
southeast part of Alabama. Moisture returns early next week, however,
and a few scattered showers could show up as early as Monday. Then,
for the rest of next week, look for warm and humid conditions each day
with a chance scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms. Another words, very routine June weather.

AT THE BEACH: Showers and storms are likely along the Gulf coast
today, but they should thin out tomorrow and over the weekend. By
Saturday and Sunday, we expect about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each
day. Afternoon highs will remain mostly in the low 80s, and the sea
water temperature at the Dauphin Island Lea Lab last night was 80
degrees.

TROPICS: On this fourth day of the Atlantic hurricane season, nothing
of any serious interest shows up across the Atlantic basin, and
tropical storm formation is not expected through Friday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: The temperature at Williston ND dropped to 26
degrees to establish a monthly record for June. The mercury dropped to
24 in Tower MN as winter made one last curtain call across the
northern Plains. 2-3 inches of snow fell in South Dakota and 7 inches
fell in Wyoming.

WR-100 Midland NOAA Weather Radio, the best selling model in the
