OK… you know we are slipping into the summer doldrums when I begin pulling up old song lyrics. Remember this one from Sly and the Family Stone?
“End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi Hi Hi Hi there
Them summer days, those summer days
That’s when I had most of my fun, back
high high high high there
Them summer days, those summer days
I “cloud nine” when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it’s true, ooh yeah
Hot fun in the summertime”
SUMMER DAYS: We are lapsing into a pretty uneventful summer pattern through the weekend; highs in the low 90s along with some risk of an afternoon shower or storm each day. With the upper ridge just to the west, the best chance of a shower will be east of I-65, and even in that part of the state they will be rather widely spaced. Days will be partly sunny, and nights mostly fair. Another words, just what you expect in mid-July.
VOODOO LAND: About the most exciting thing showing up on the GFS during the next 16 days is a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico in the July 22-24 time frame, but we all know that is voodoo. For now the tropics are very quiet. The core of the westerlies remain up north, where they should be.
FOLLOW ALONG: Connect with us on the social networks! Here is your invitation to follow me on Twitter, and on Facebook. You can also get all Alabama warnings on Twitter via E-Warn.

Today I am headed to Calhoun County to speak to the Oxford Kiwanis Club… I will be back in the office by early afternoon, and the next Weather Xtreme video will be posted by 3:30 or so. Enjoy the day!
