A Few Showers

Folks over the Northeast and Great Lakes are actually enjoying a pleasant day and a little relief from the relentless heat.  Highs today are actually in the upper 70s in places like Boston, Albany, Detroit and Portland, Maine.

The trough has set up a long, snaky stationary front across Tennessee and Georgia.    Showers and storms were widespread from Tennessee into North Carolina and Virginia.

A few storms were forming in the I-59 corridor over Alabama from Birmingham to the northeast shortly after lunch.  A couple had formed over southern Jefferson County but were pulsing up then down quickly.  At this writing, one was over Vestavia…heading toward Inverness.

Other isolated storms will form today, but they will be few and far between.

It was 92F at the Birmingham Airport at 1 p.m., same as yesterday.  We will finish around 96F or so today…a little cooler than I expected.  But look for a better chance to hit 100F tomorrow.  The record high tomorrow is 101F.
