Held in check most of the day by extensive cloudiness leftover from Friday night’s convection, the mercury got a late start on Saturday at Birmingham. It made a valiant effort to make 90, but fell just short, peaking at 89F just before 2 p.m. The sub-90 degree reading was the first since July 25th, marking the end of a record tying 37 day 90 degree streak in the Magic City.
Pinson did keep their record 90 degree streak alive at 38 days. They could easily extend it on Sunday.
