LOW HUMIDITY: At 2:00… Birmingham was at 90 degrees, but with a dewpoint of only 57 for a relative humidity of 32 percent. Not bad for a summer day in Alabama. Looks like places like Gadsden and Cullman will fail to reach 90 today. And, along with the low humidity is excellent visibility; the sky almost looks like fall.

Tonight will be very pleasant; most places will drop into the 60 to 65 degree range, but the cooler spots should reach the upper 50s.

TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY: No real change with dry air in place; sunny days and clear nights. The humidity will stay low, and the high will be in the low 90s in most places.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: We will bring in a chance of mainly afternoon thunderstorms on these days as moist air begins to return, and some hint in the GFS that a MCS or two might roll into Alabama from the northwest. Let’s keep an eye on radars around Memphis and Little Rock on these days.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: The 12Z GFS is a little more bullish on showers and thunderstorms for Alabama over the Fourth of July weekend; very moist air combined with a weak surface boundary to the north, and a series of weak waves along the southern edge of the mid-latitude westerlies. The GFS MOS is printing highs only in the upper 80s because of the showers, so excessive heat should not be a problem. There should be some decent intervals of sunshine, but a few showers and storms seem likely on a daily basis Saturday through Monday.

TROPICS: Still no sign of any tropical trouble for now; our system in the southern Gulf is disorganized, but we will have to watch the old front hanging around in the northern Gulf in coming days for any sign of a backyard surprise.

AT THE BEACH: About 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each day through Friday, with partly to mostly sunny days along with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms. We note the sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab right now is a very warm 90 degrees (F).

VOODOO LAND: The GFS does not show any sign of a major or excessive heat wave around here through mid-July… looks like your standard hot and humid weather with the almost daily opportunity of a passing afternoon shower or storm.
