...Warmer Afternoons Ahead...

DRY THROUGH TOMORROW: Dry air covers much of Alabama this morning, and
the lack of moisture means another rain-free day, with a good supply
of sunshine. The dry air will heat very effectively, and most
communities will see a high close to 90 degrees this afternoon. But,
the humidity will stay low, making the afternoon warmth rather
comfortable for late July in Alabama.

OUR WEEKEND: Tomorrow promises to be another dry day with a partly to
mostly sunny sky. We should reach the low 90s, which is
about where we should be this time of the year. But, on Sunday, an
approaching front along with increasing moisture levels will bring a
chance of scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and storms.
That front will become stationary just northwest of Alabama, and we
will maintain a chance of scattered showers and storms on a daily
basis just about every day next week, possibly numerous at times.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: There will be a risk of scattered showers and
storms along the Gulf Coast on a daily basis through early next week,
otherwise about 4 to 6 hours of sunshine each day with a high in the
upper 80s on the immediate coast.The sea water temperature last night
at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab was 82 degrees.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A gale center, not a tropical system, is moving
through the Atlantic just off the northeast coast of the U.S.
Elsewhere, the Atlantic basin remains very quiet and tropical storm
formation is not expected through the weekend. We are still looking
for our first named tropical storm of the season, which will be called
"Ana".

EIGHT IN A ROW: Yesterday's official high in Birmingham was 84
degrees, making it the eighth consecutive day in which the temperature
stayed below 90 degrees. The hottest official temperature so far this
summer was 96 degrees, recored on June 28.

HANGING OUT THE WASH: Hottest place in the nation yesterday was Death
Valley, California with 122 degrees. Triple digit heat was
also reported in a number of cities out west, including Salt Lake
City, Utah, where the high was 102. Unusually cool air continues
around the Great Lakes and the Northeast U.S.; yesterday's high in
Cincinnati was only 77. Columbia, South Carolina was drenched with
3.77" of rain; the total at Lansing, Michigan was 2.18".

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.
