In that vast ocean of hot, humid air that covers Alabama, scattered thunderstorms developed down over the south one-fourth of the state. Translation: From about Clarke, Monroe and Barbour County southward to the coast.
They were all moving generally westward.
Nothing going on over the north 3/4 of the state.
NWS In Mobile issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Baldwin County until 3:45 pm for the possibility of penny-size hail and wind gusts over 60 mph.
Question of the day: If the United States Mint stops making the penny coin, what will we call that size hail?
The Alabama landscape continues to bake. A sampling of 3 o'clock temperatures:
93 in Birmingham (one of the cooler places)
95 in Montgomery
96 in Anniston and Tuscaloosa
97 in Decatur, Huntsville, Albertville, Fort Payne
99 in Gadsden and Meridianville
80 in Mobile, cooled by a thunderstorm
83 in Troy also cooled by a thunderstorm
For the third day in a row, we will surely see some high temperatures of 100.

I would still call it penny size hail.
and........ it may only be 93 per the NWS, but it feels much hotter and maybe .... just maybe they read the temp wrong, more like 103!
