...Drier Today and Tomorrow...

HEATING UP: Yesterday's official high in Birmingham was 87 degrees,
four degrees below the average high of 91. It was cooler, of course,
mainly because of clouds and the big morning downpours, and today we
expect temperatures back to where they should be with an increased
amount of hazy summer sun. While we can't rule out a few showers or
storms around here this afternoon, they should be very isolated in
nature thanks to warm air aloft associated with a developing ridge of
high pressure building into the state from the west.

The chance of any one spot getting wet later today is only about one
in eight. The chance of a shower is slightly better tomorrow, but many
communities will stay dry.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: Rain chances will be increasing, and heat levels
decreasing on these days as the upper ridge erodes, and an upper
trough forms over the eastern third of the nation. We expect scattered
to numerous showers and storms on these days with highs dropping back
into the 86 to 89 degree range. Once again, much of Alabama has a good
chance of seeing beneficial rain, with two day totals of one inch or
more likely.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: Drier air begins to creep into Alabama Saturday; it
looks like the best chance of showers and storms will be along and
south of I-59, or a line from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham to Gadsden.
Then, the dry air should cover the northern half of the state Sunday,
with lower humidity levels and cooler nights. There is a chance some
of the cooler spots across North Alabama could drop into the upper 50s
Sunday and Monday morning; a real treat for mid-summer.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical storm Carlos is in the eastern Pacific,
well west of Mexico, moving to the west. Carlos is expected to slowly
weaken in coming days; if it holds together it should pass well to the
south of Hawaii. The Atlantic basin remains quiet and tropical storm
formation is not expected through mid-week.

AT THE BEACH: Expect about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each day through
Friday with a few scattered showers and storms each day. Highs along
the immediate coast will remain in the upper 80s, with low 90s inland.
The sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab late yesterday
was up to 88 degrees (F).

WEATHER CALL: Weather call is our new system that provides you and
your family a great way of receiving severe weather watches and
warnings. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you
will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist James Spann, 24
hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed
map of the threat area. You may also use any of the email addresses to
set up the warning to be delivered by SMS text messaging to your cell
phone. Sign up on the web at abc3340.com.
