FEELS GOOD: What a refreshing morning for the last day of June. Vic Bell, our Skywatcher in Northeast Etowah County, is reporting 56 degrees with a clear sky at 5:00. Skywatcher John Talbot in the Concord/Hueytown area is at 59 degrees. Most of the official reporting stations are somewhere between 60 and 65, a very nice break from the recent heat.

No big change today and tomorrow; sunny with low humidity. The high both days should be in the low 90s, but those low dewpoints will make the afternoon heat much more comfortable, And, needless to say, with the dry air in place there is no chance of rain around here.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY: The GFS continues to hint at an MCS developing northwest of Alabama during the day Thursday, potentially moving in here late in the day or Thursday night. And, we will mention some risk of scattered afternoon storms on Friday as well as moisture levels increase. Highs will be around 90.

FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND: We do expect an increase in the number of showers and storms over the holiday weekend as moisture continues to increase. No wash-out, but a few passing showers and storms seem likely Saturday and Sunday. The GFS is printing highs in the upper 80s because of the showers, so excessive heat won’t be a problem.

The 00Z GFS tries to bring drier air down into North Alabama early next week, but I not convinced that is the correct solution, and we will maintain the chance of scattered showers and storms into Monday and Tuesday. Fronts really don’t make it all the way down to the Gulf coast that often in the middle of summer.

VOODOO LAND: The good news is that we still don’t see any serious or excessive heat wave into mid-July. Looks like the average type heat and humidity around here with the almost daily risk of scattered diurnal convection.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
