Alabama Early This Evening

No more severe thunderstorms down south. Everything is weaker especially the ones that were causing earlier problems near the coast.

Over South Central Alabama, the band of showers and storms still existed from the Marengo/Hale County line on the west side of the state eastward to Montgomery, Wetumpka and south of Tuskegee. Not much to the ones on the east side of the state.

Probably the strongest storm with the most lightning just before 7 pm was along the Hale/Marengo County line and another one east of marion in Perry County.

None of them real strong.

Moving SE

MEANWHILE: Up over North Alabama a real breath of fresh air. These 6 pm reports:
….dew point down to 53 in Huntsville and temperature 83 with nice north breeze.
….58 dew point in Birmingham and 55 in Anniston
….Only 82 degrees in Albertville with the humidity down to 32 percent.
….Bright clear sky in Fort Payne with 81 degrees and a dew point at 50.

People in Albuquerque, Salt Lake and Two Guns, Ariz., would laugh at us cheering our drop in humidity but it is not unusual on a June day in Alabama for the dew point to be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

…And yes, there is a Two Guns, Ariz., on the old US 66 and I-40 east of Flagstaff. Drove through there a number of times and you can clearly see the San Francisco Peaks ahead around Flagstaff. Those peaks are the highest elevations in Arizona.
