DRY AIR AND DRY BRUSH

Three weeks, three one-hundredths of an inch of rain in Birmingham. That's all we have had since early September, and there is not much hope of substantial rainfall in sight.

Technically, we are running a surplus of rainfall for the year. Rain piled up in March (10.98") and again in June (9.38") leaving us 7.25" above average for 2022 so far. The problem is, Alabama's water cycle runs on what-have-you-done-for-me-lately terms. In other words, we already used that Spring/Summer rain and need more to keep lawns healthy, rivers flowing and lakes filled. No rain comes in the near future, and what little rain shows up in the distance is of little impact toward the middle of the month.

SEVEN DAY FORECAST

Temperatures gradually rise this week: peaking in the 80s ahead of a weekend cold front. Unfortunately, even that relatively strong front brings no rain with it, so Alabama keeps getting drier in the days immediately ahead of us.

The weekend cold front does drop the temperature fairly substantially! Saturday features a cool north breeze and temperatures struggling to get above 70°F. A few spots may briefly touch the 30s (North Alabama) Sunday morning; Birmingham looks more like low/middle 40s at the coldest with this chilly air mass.
