...Generally Dry Through Saturday...

WARMER AFTERNOONS AHEAD: Yesterday was the 7th consecutive day with
temperatures below 90 degrees in Birmingham, which is nothing short of
remarkable for July in Alabama. The last time we saw 90 degree heat
was back on July 15, when the high was 93. There is a decent chance
that today will be the 8th day in a row below 90, as we are
forecasting a high in the upper 80s. The air is considerably drier
today over the northern half of the state, and most communities around
here will be dry. Any showers could be confined to the southeast part
of the state, mostly southeast of Montgomery.

We should break the 90 degree barrier tomorrow and Saturday as the
warming trend continues, and the air will remain dry both days and the
chance of a shower is so small that we won't mention it in the formal
forecast for now.

NEXT RAIN: Showers and storms will return to our state late in the
weekend on Sunday, as moisture flows northward, and a surface front
approaches from the northwest. That front is expected to stall out
over Tennessee, and accordingly we will maintain a chance of showers
and storms on through at least the first half of next week. After a
high in the low 90s on Saturday, highs should drop back into the mid
to upper 80s Sunday and early next week due to the clouds and showers.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The 2009 hurricane season continues to be very
quiet. A large area of disturbed weather is east of the Bahamas, but
upper air winds are not favorable for development, and tropical storm
formation is not expected through the weekend.

BEACH WEATHER: Expect about 5 to 7 hours of sunshine each day through
Sunday with the daily risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Highs along the immediate coast will be in the upper 80s, with low 90s
for inland communities. A check of the sea water temperature last
night at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab indicated 82 degrees (F).

WAY UP NORTH: One of our Skywatcher, Todd Foisy, works with the
National Weather Service, and reports weather daily from his home in
Girdwood, Alaska. His report from last night: High 53.1/Low 45.9/
Current 52.2/Rain 2.01" Tons of rain last night and today with some
minor flooding of area river and streams.

WEDNESDAY'S RAIN: Rain totals around Alabama yesterday included
1.31" at Coker (the two day storm total there was 2.74"), 1.10"
at Jasper, .42" at Hayden, .28" at Palmerdale, and only a trace at
Weaver.

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.
