We’re Getting a Big Break from July Heat in Alabama

It's the middle of July in Alabama and it should be crazy hazy, hot, and humid.  Not this week!

How about this for timing, with the SEC Media Days going on Birmingham, many of us are thinking about the no so far away football season. Roll Tide! Add to that excitement, weather that feels like the fall and not the middle of the dog days of summer.

Get this, the daytime weather for the next few days will be in the comfy low 80s. Awesome! We could get into the upper 50s at night. Somebody pinch me. Is this real? Open up that window. I believe (fake cough, fake cough) that I'm coming down with something and (clear throat, fake cough and wimper) I need to take a day or two off from work. It's time to play outside!

I'm not making this stuff up, take a look at this weather map from the National Weather Service, Birmingham:

It has been decades since Alabama has seen mid-July weather so cool. Take a look at the records that may be broken in the next couple of days:

Let's rejoice this weather awesomeness!!
