As of 6:00 a.m., Birmingham’s lowest temperature so far is 63 degrees, within one degree of the record low for July 24, 62 set in 1966.

Today will be a sunny day with low humidity; the high will be in the mid 80s for most places.

TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The northern two-thirds of the state will stay dry tomorrow and Friday with sunny days and fair, pleasant nights. Highs will be in the upper 80s. A few scattered showers are possible over South Alabama Friday as moisture levels begin to rise.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A shower or two could develop Saturday afternoon, but models continue to trend drier, and it looks like they will be widely spaced. Otherwise, look for a partly sunny sky with a high between 87 and 90. Then on Sunday, we are forecast a mix of sun and clouds with the potential for “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”. Sunday’s high will stay in the 87 to 90 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: For now it looks like the week will feature routine summer weather, although scattered showers and storms could increase Tuesday and Wednesday thanks an an upper trough nearby… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: There is a chance a weak area of low pressure could form along the stalled surface front in the northern Gulf of Mexico; NHC gives it a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm over the next five days. Otherwise, the rest of the Atlantic basin is very quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1930: An estimated, F5 tornado tore through Montello, Veneto, and Friuli in Italy. The tornado killed 23 people along its 50 miles path.
