JULY IN ALABAMA: It is the time of the year when the weather doesn’t change much. Say “hot and humid with a few isolated afternoon storms” and you will be right on the money. That is our situation for at least the next seven days as an upper high holds over the Deep South keeping the main westerly winds aloft (the jet stream) well to the north.
The story of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing on Sept. 15, 1963, and the tragedy, reconciliation and forgiveness that resulted, must be told with reverence and dignity.
HOT SUMMER WEATHER: Temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 90s across Alabama this afternoon with a partly to mostly sunny sky. We note a few isolated storms, mainly over the southern half of the state. Those isolated thunderstorms will end this evening, and the sky will be mostly fair overnight.

HEAT LEVELS RISING: Yesterday’s official high in Birmingham was 90 degrees, one degree below the average of 91. But today we expect a high in the 92-95 degree range as heat levels tick up a bit. The sky will be mostly sunny, and like yesterday any afternoon showers will be very hard to find over the northern half of the state.
Stress has been shown to affect the quality of decision-making. University of Alabama researchers will study pandemic-related stress to determine whether its effects are different from those of normal forms of stress.
MOSTLY DRY THROUGH WEDNESDAY: A few tiny showers are on radar across Alabama this afternoon, but you could count them on one hand, and they are only lasting about 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures generally in the 88-93 degree range. Tonight will be mostly fair and humid.
