THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY: Good afternoon! It's another hot one out there
as upper level high pressure continues to be the greatest influencer in our
weather. There is an every-so-subtle cool front draped across the Tennessee
Valley region. It dips to the south over Northeast Alabama, as such fronts
often do, gaining momentum as they slide down the backside of the
Appalachian Mountains. Thunderstorms are hard to come by once again this
afternoon over the area. A weak trough is expected to set up across the
southern parts of Alabama and Georgia. Surface lows should develop and move
along a boundary that will set up there, perhaps enhancing our shower and
thunderstorm chances a bit tomorrow and Monday. Sunday will be quite warm,
with highs reaching well into the

THE WEEK AHEAD: More stable air may infiltrate North Alabama in the
Tuesday-Thursday time frame, lessening those shower and storm chances.
Temperatures will also remain near seasonal levels throughout much of the
coming week, held back just a bit on Monday by the increased shower chances.
But Friday, the famed Bermuda High will look just like it does in the
textbooks, and Alabama will be under its tropical spell.

SPACE WEATHER: A massive sunspot appeared on the surface of our very own
star last week. The huge sunspot unleashed a coronal mass ejection that
produced significant displays of the aurora borealis as far south as
Michigan, Minnesota and Washington State. With the sunspot still in place,
additional geomagnetic storms could occur over the next several days. Don't
look for any auroras here in Alabama, but northern states could enjoy some.

TROPICS: Forecasters at the NHC have been monitoring an area of disturbed
weather that extends from the Bahamas northeastward to the vicinity of
Bermuda. A Hurricane Hunter plane was scheduled to investigate the area
this afternoon, but has been cancelled. Another area of disturbed weather
was formed west of Jamaica in the Caribbean, but further development is
unlikely.

TROPICS-INTERNATIONAL EDITION: Tropical Storm Celia continues on a westward
path this Saturday afternoon. Wait! Celia? Wasn't that name retired? Oh,
that's Atlantic Celia from 1970. This is Tropical Storm Celia, in the
eastern Pacific Ocean. It is barely at tropical storm force this afternoon,
and will likely weaken to a tropical depression before tonight. Next week,
we will begin talking about the famous Celia, that struck the Texas coast in
August 1970.

MORE RECORD MADNESS: The Thursday morning low at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
was a toasty 90 degrees, which was a record warm minimum for the date. Then
on Friday, the high temperature at Hilo, Hawaii reached 90 degrees. This
was a record high for the date. The old record was 88 degrees. 1.83 inches
of rain had already fallen in Topeka, Kansas this morning, a new record for
the date with more rain expected to fall.

ON THIS DATE IN 1788: George Washington had the unique opportunity to
observe a strong hurricane as it passed directly over his plantation at
Mount Vernon. Read his diary entry in today's Weather Talk.
