48 Straight
When the mercury reached 90F before before noon today at the Birmingham Airport, it marked the 48th consecutive day that had happened. Each day that we add increases the record.
Skies were partly cloudy across North and Central Alabama with a decent fair weather cumulus field across the state. A few showers were beginning to show up on radar over West and Northwest Alabama. A few showers were over Pickens and Sumter Counties. Another was just south of the Shoals.
Scattered showers will continue to develop through the afternoon. If you are lucky enough to get under one, you will see some brief heavy rain. Lightning will be intense in the storms that do form.
The mercury was climbing through the 90s with 93F at Birmingham and Anniston and 95F in Tuscaloosa.
