Pattern June Gloom

HEADS UP @BufordWX and ALL Alabama folks @Drizzle Snizzle @Arcc
Severe weather is affecting parts of our state. We understand outages can be frustrating. Alabama Power is safely assessing the damage. We have assigned crews to restore power and restoration times may change. Please stay safe and weather aware. Thank you for your patience.
Strong, windy storms have toppled trees and left more than 100,000 people in Alabama without electricity on Monday afternoon.

Systems filled with heavy rain, dangerous wind gusts and hail have been moving through from north to south, and hundreds, if not thousands, of trees have reportedly fallen across the state.


The Alabama Power Company was reporting more than 113,000 power outages after the storms, and its coverage area does not include the far northern counties of the state.

In Tuscaloosa County, more than 6,200 people are without power. There are 5,500 outages in Bibb County, 2,800 outages in Walker County, 1,313 in Fayette County, 1,038 in Pickens County and more than 31,000 in Jefferson County.

With temperatures breaking 90 degrees in parts of Alabama today, the lack of air conditioning is sure to be felt by those without electricity after the storms.

"Severe weather is affecting parts of our state. We understand outages can be frustrating. Alabama Power is safely assessing the damage," the company said on their site. "We have assigned crews to restore power and restoration times may change. Please stay safe and weather aware. Thank you for your patience."

Looks like the dry air did not make it this far south.
 
There was just some very light rain today (a T). It was windy from the E as cooler, drier air was coming in. With temps down to the mid 70s, the steady breeze, and dewpoints in the mid 50s, it easily felt good enough to walk at the park for the first time in nearly 2 weeks despite a few rain drops. The rain drops felt good because they were quite cool.

Reckon what the record low all time in June is at RWI other locales.
Been a splendid perfect wx past couple of days. Seems like we get these for a few days, then a 4 dayish AN spell, then trough rolls back in / longshot at a passing shower. Then wash-rinse repeat again
