...Another Hot One...

It was hot across Central Alabama on Friday, much like the past
several days. Today will mark the thirteenth straight day on 90
degrees readings in the Magic City. That's not too unusual. After
all it is summer in the Magic City. It is supposed to be hot.
Readings for the month are running some 2.8 degrees above average.

FOR YOUR SATURDAY: It will be another mostly sunny and hot day today
with high temperatures in the middle and upper 90s. There is a very
small chance that we could see an isolated storm or two this
afternoon, but they will be few and far between. Air quality today
will be in the yellow, or moderate category.

STORMS TOMORROW: A frontal system will approach from the north on
Sunday, triggering widely scattered thunderstorms. Some of these
storms could be strong during the afternoon and into the overnight.
Highs will be in the 90s again.

HEAT BACKS OFF: After Sunday, the heat may back off a bit as the
front moves southward. It may still triggers storms on Monday, mainly
in areas south and east of Birmingham. Seasonal conditions minus the
typical afternoon and evening storms will prevail through midweek.
Mornings may actually feel a little comfortable, with lows in the
60s. Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90.

FOURTH FORECAST: Next Saturday is Independence Day. There are signs
that an approaching front may trigger scattered storms on the
Fourth. Temperatures should be near normal, with highs in the upper
80s to near 90. Lows will be right around 70.

GETTING INTERESTING IN THE TROPICS: Thunderstorm activity with a
tropical wave over the western Caribbean decreased last night after an
afternoon flare up. There is some chance for development of this
system as it moves northwestward toward the Yucatan and eventually the
southern Gulf of Mexico. There is a chance that it will develop into
a tropical storm or hurricane early in the week. It will most likely
move toward the west coast of Florida, although it could meander
before turning toward the Texas or Mexican coast. It would be named
Ana.

JUNE TOO SOON? June 1957's Hurricane Audrey is the ninth deadliest
U.S. landfalling hurricane according to official National Hurricane
Center records, but if you counted the 190 people that were never
found, it would be seventh. Audrey was a category four storm, which
proves that June hurricanes must be taken seriously. More in today's
editions of the AlabamaWx.com blog.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: Fritch, Texas was struck by a devastating F4
tornado which did over $35 million in damage. It actually may have
been two tornadoes. Seven people were injured. Some of the most
dramatic tornado video footage ever recorded was shot by a resident of
Fritch who was able to keep the camera rolling until the twister was
right on top of him. He was actually stunned by a nearby lightning
flash, but continued to video even as the tornado destroyed mobile
homes just across the street. He had to stop shooting the video when
the tornado began o tear apart his own house.
