This note just came in from the Birmingham NWS office via the Instant Message conference…
“Just an FYI. Birmingham missed the all-time record high low temp by 2 degrees. The record high low of 84 was set Jul 18, 1895. So far today…we’ve gotten to 82…which will tie it for 3rd highest low temperature. It will still be a record for the day (78 degrees)…if a thunderstorm doesn’t roll over the station some time today. Looking through the records…the summer of 1895 was a hot one. I did a query…there are 8 days listed as low temps of 82-84 degrees.”
