Hot, Humid Weather With Scattered Storms
TIS THE SEASON: Alabama’s weather won’t change much through the weekend. Look for the typical summer weather… hot humid days with a mix of sun and clouds, and scattered, random showers and thunderstorms. Most of the storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours, although a late night or morning shower sure can’t be ruled out. No way of knowing in advance when and where the storms fire up; you just have to keep a close eye on radar trends if you have something planned outside. Afternoon highs will be in the 88-92 degree range today through Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: Things won’t change much as we approach the Fourth of July. There will be day to day variations in the coverage and placement of scattered showers and storms, but not much way of resolving those changes days in advance since they are determined by small scale boundaries and upper air features. So, we will roll with a persistence forecast next week… partly sunny days, fair nights, and the daily round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Most of the storms will come from about 2:00 until 10:00 p.m… but not all of them. Highs will be generally in the low 90s… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
HIT AND MISS: Here is a great example of the hit and miss nature of summer storms in Alabama… yesterday in the Birmingham, our Skywatcher in Hueytown (John Talbot) measured 2.29″, but just a few miles away, the Skywatcher in Mountain Brook (Alston Keith) measured nothing… 0.00″.
ON THIS DATE IN 1975: Lightning strikes Lee Trevino and two other golfers at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook, Illinois.
