Today has been a scorcher across North and Central Alabama again.

Highs across the area included

107F Muscle Shoals (record)
106F Huntsville (UAH)
105F Huntsville (record)
104F Anniston (record); Calera; Decatur; Tuscaloosa (record)
103F Birmingham; Vinemont
102F Auburn
101F Montgomery; Cullman
100F Guntersville; Scottsboro; Ft.Payne
96F Valley Head

The high at Birmingham fell one degree short of the record for the date.

One hopeful sign: a couple of isolated storms formed this afternoon around 4 .m. over Sumter and Greene Counties in West Alabama. They didn’t last long and brought little relief. Another longer lived cell formed over Noxubee County MS around 5:30. It was still going at 7:45. We should see a couple of isolated storms tomorrow and their number should increase a bit by Tuesday and Wednesday. One can hope.
