...Drier Air Moves Into Alabama...

SHOWERS TODAY MOSTLY TO THE SOUTH: Drier air will work into North
Alabama today, and at this time we believe most of the showers and
thunderstorms will fire up today over the southern counties of our
state. Some might form as far north as I-20, but most of the
neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston, and Gadsden will be
dry.

REST OF THE WEEK: Not much change in our weather through Friday, but
afternoons should get hotter as the week progresses as an upper ridge
builds into Alabama from the west. Mid 90s are likely by Friday
afternoon, and some places over in West Alabama could reach the upper
90s. You sure can't rule out a shower just about any afternoon in July
around here, but once again we believe the most numerous showers and
storms each afternoon will stay down over the southern half of the
state.

WEEKEND PEEK: Hot weather continues into the weekend; with highs in
the low to mid 90s. While an afternoon shower or storm could pop up
just about anywhere, they should be rather isolated in nature. Another
words, very routine mid-July weather. And, that should continue into
early next week as well.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, and tropical storm
formation is not expected through mid-week. In the eastern Pacific,
tropical storm Blanca has formed off the
west coast of Mexico. This one is moving west, and after today it
should weaken over cooler water, and dissipate late this week. Blanca
is no threat to land.

AT THE BEACH: Expect about 5 to 7 hours of sunshine each day through
Friday with the daily risk of a few passing showers or thunderstorms.
Highs on the immediate coast will be in the mid to upper 80s, and sea
water temperature last night at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab was down a
bit to 83 degree (F).

MONDAY'S RAIN: Some rain totals across Alabama yesterday included
2.65" at Troy, 1.44" at Dothan, 1.24" at Montgomery, 1.10" at
Inverness, .76" at Auburn, .52" at Anniston, .46" at Mountain Brook,
and .44" in downtown Tuscaloosa. Dothan's high was only 81 degrees;
just last week that Southeast Alabama city had a high of 105. Not one
single major reporting site in Alabama had a high of 90 degrees or
hotter; extremely unusual for July in Alabama.

ON THIS DATE IN 1987: Weird weather at Greensburg KS. 75 degrees at 7
a.m, rose to 95 degrees at few minutes later and back to 86 by 8 a.m.
Dust devils and strange clouds reportedly accompanied this strange
fluctuation in temperature.
