Alabama Skies: Hot, hot, hot with hardly any rain
Published 9:50 pm Sunday, July 16, 2023
If you work outside and have been thinking about taking a few days off, this may be the week to head inside or to the mountains. With highs in the mid-90s, Monday is the “coolest” day out of the next several.
The chances for any rainfall are very low, and skies will remain sunny with very little cloud cover the next several days. The only region in Alabama with decent rain chances the next few couple days is the Gulf Coast, and rain chances are lower than normal along the beaches. A couple places may have a shower overnight.
As expected, Don weakened to a Subtropical Depression. The system continues to make its large circle in the Atlantic Ocean, far away from the United State. It’s expected to reach tropical storm strength again by Thursday. By then, it will be heading west again, so we’ll keep an eye on its next destination.
