Just took a half-mile walk around the community, minus a certain little puppy, and it feels much better than on recent days. The reason: Lower dew points: Translation, less humid.
The dew point at noon today was some five degrees lower than recent days and even lower than that across parts of North Alabama.
However, I agree with Jason, writing in the current “Seven Day Forecast” that we may still reach or exceed 90 again today which would make 50 in a row . By the way, you can easily find the 7-day discussion and forecast 24 hours a day. Look at the top left of this page and click on the first link in blue. Or click here:

Some noon numbers:
…..88 at Birmingham Airport, dew point 70
…..90 Tuscaloosa, dew point 68
…..61 is the dew point at Muscle Shoals
…..62 is the dew point at Decatur
Don’t be surprised to hear of some low temperatures around 58, 59, 60 in the “cooler NE Alabama valleys later this week, before this drier air is booted out.
AND THIS UNUSUAL NOTE FOR RECENT DAYS
Noon doppler radar shows NO showers or storms in these places:
…..Kentucky
…..Tennessee
…..Arkansas
…..Louisiana
…..Mississippi
…..Alabama
…..Georgia
That will, of course, change for some areas later this afternoon.
