GOOD AFTERNOON: Things started foggy and cloudy on this Sunday in Alabama.
The fog and low stratus deck was rather persistent in many areas, taking
quite a while to burn off. But in areas where it has burned off, sunshine
has rapidly warmed temperatures into the 80s. Cloudier areas have gotten a
late start on the temperature rise. Gadsden was only at 77 degrees at 1
p.m.
THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY: Our weather in the short range will be dominated
by a dying front that is located just to our north and a series of
disturbances that will be sliding along this boundary.
One of those disturbances moving along the frontal boundary was setting off
showers and storms as it moved along late this morning and this afternoon,
starting in Mississippi and then rippling into Central Alabama. The best
rain chances for this afternoon will continue south of a line from Columbus,
MS to Birmingham to Anniston. Storms moving through Central Alabama could
be severe with the main threat coming from damaging winds. North of there,
we canÂt rule out the formation of a shower or storm, but the further north
you go, the lesser that chance becomes.
Monday promises to be a lot like today, but by Tuesday, a ridge of high
pressure will begin to build over Alabama and the Deep South, spelling a
return to a more summerlike pattern of partly cloudy skies with scattered PM
thunderstorms. Temperatures through the end of the week and into the
weekend will be near normal, with daytime highs near 90 and overnight lows
in the lower 70s.
TROPICS: There are two interesting features in the tropical Atlantic this
afternoon. One is a tropical wave in the southern Caribbean. The shower
activity with this wave has diminished, and it is no longer considered a
candidate for development. The METEOSAT-7 satellite shows a tropical wave
centered along longitude 25W, which is just off the coast of Africa. This
wave was impressive as it moved of the African coast, but it has weakened
since over cooler waters. It has the potential for development over the
next few days as it moves westward.
CHARLEY, 1998 STYLE: Do you remember 1998Âs Charley? Probably not. The
people around Del Rio, Texas do. Tropical Storm Charley was the second of
seven named tropical storms and hurricanes to strike the U.S. in 1998. But
the most interesting event of CharleyÂs arrival on the mainland would occur
the next day, when a whopping 17.03 inches of rain fell in Del Rio TX. This
amount is nearly equal to the average rainfall for an entire year. It would
establish their all-time record rainfall for a calendar day. The Del Rio
area had received less than three inches of rain during the previous 8 ½
months. Twenty people died in the resulting flooding. Maybe tropical
cyclones like to have their names retired. I guess Charley was a little
miffed at not being retired after his 1998 tirade in Texas and decided not
to be outdone in his reincarnation in 2004.
