...Dog Days Begin Today...

GOOD MORNING! You know that a weather pattern has worn out its welcome when
local meteorologists start to give it names. The current pattern, which has
been in place for as long as I can remember is finally coming to a merciful
end. Alabama had been sandwiched between a large upper trough to our west
and a strong Bermuda high to our east now for many days. Just Wednesday, I
noticed one NWS forecaster had named it the June Monsoon. Another called it
the Dance of the Shortwaves. If you would like to give it a name,
(remember, be nice) please send me an e-mail.

WELCOME TO DOG DAYS: July 3rd marks the official beginning of the Dog Days
of Summer. The Dog Days are named for the Egyptian belief that during the
period of time from July 3 through August 11 when the Dog Star Sirius rises
and falls with the sun, that the star added to the heat of the Sun.

STORMY SATURDAY?: A whirling dervish of an upper low is spinning across
Missouri this morning. Here in Alabama, a warm, moist airmass remains in
place. As the low moves east, it will push a trough closer to the state.
This means a pretty good chance of showers and thunderstorms at just about
anytime today. Judging the timing is difficult, but storms should be most
prevalent during afternoon and again late night.

FOURTH FORECAST: It looks like the trough will be over Alabama on Sunday.
We could deal with some morning showers or storms over western and middle
sections, pushing across East Alabama during the early afternoon. We are
keeping our fingers crossed that Sunday overall will feature less in the way
of showers and storms. Fireworks look good Sunday night.

WEEK AHEAD: It looks like we will return to more of a Dog Days type pattern
with more sunshine, few storms and warmer temperatures as we head into the
new week. By Monday, a weak ridge will build into the state, leading to the
typical summertime pattern. Another front will approach from the north by
Thursday, potentially raising our rain chances again.
