Highs In The 90s Through The Weekend
HOT, DRY DAY: A radar check shows no rain across Alabama at mid-afternoon and very few cumulus clouds. Temperatures are in the upper 80s and low 90s, a little below forecast values, and nobody is griping about that. Tonight will be mostly clear with a low in the 70s.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Classic mid-summer weather will continue across Alabama. Partly sunny, hot, humid days with some risk of a few isolated afternoon and evening storms each day; odds of any one spot getting wet only in the 10-20 percent range. No widespread rain; highs will be in the mid 90s, a little above average for late July.
NEXT WEEK: The summer persistence forecast continues. An upper ridge holds across the southern U.S… with the main jet stream and wave action on top of the ridge over the northern states. The weather remains hot and humid with highs in the 90s, partly sunny days, and just a few isolated storms during the afternoon and evening hours. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: Still quiet across the Atlantic basin. We are all waiting for August and September, when the season typically peaks. All seasonal outlooks call for above average activity this year. We will see.
ON THIS DATE IN 1979: The most damaging tornado in Wyoming history touched down 3 miles west-northwest of the Cheyenne airport. This strong tornado moved east or east-southeast across the northern part of Cheyenne, causing $22 million in damage and one fatality. 140 houses and 17 trailers were destroyed. 325 other homes were damaged. Four C-130 aircraft and National Guard equipment sustained $12 million damage.
