*THE OBSERVATIONS AT CALERA AND TROY WERE AT CO-OP SITES AND WERE
NOT OBSERVATIONS AT THE PRESENT ASOS SITES OF KEET AND KTOI.
Lows tonight will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s with a few lower to middle 50s thrown in, so several of those records may be tied or broken.
Dewpoints in the 50s in July in Alabama. Overnight lows in the 50s. I am not quite sure what we did to deserve this, but we will take it.
The folks on the late shift at the National Weather Service last night were looking back at the data they had since 1948. The probability of a strong July cold front like this making it through Alabama is 0.0000002%! Those are about a 1 in 10,000,000 chance. Thanks to Kevin Laws for sharing that neat fact!
