Thunderstorms Far, Far Apart

A few widely spaced showers and thunderstorms developed over Northeast and East Alabama early this afternoon.

Around 1:15 pm, they were located:

* NW of Gadsden
* West of Guntersville
* South Clay County

If you could bunch all of the showers in the state together at this time, the area getting rain would be far less than one percent.

Best showers were over South Clay County south of Ashland.

They are like humans in this July heat--they don't want to move--just drifting.

Others will be forming and dying in this afternoon heat. We believe your chance of getting rain is very, very low.

Another hot afternoon. A one o'clock look:

90 in Mobile
92 in Montgomery
93 in Gadsden, Demopolis, Muscle Shoals
94 in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa Huntsville
95 in Anniston

Anniston still has not reached the 100-degree mark so far this year.

Just had a great 10-minute soaking in Jacksonville. I could hear my lawn sigh.

Yeah, that was a great little rain storm here in J'ville. Wish it would have lasted about another hour or so.

Just hold off the rain in Bham until I get home. The early morning ride to work on the Goldwing is really nice.... but the hot ride on the way home in the afternoon is not. That does NOT mean I want rain tho.
