...Summer to Return...

GOOD MORNING! Everywhere I go, I hear about how it has been an unusual summer. Today, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I overheard one man tell another that they have had more days in the 70s than in the 90s this year. J.B. reported yesterday that Minneapolis is experiencing one of its coolest summers ever. We just recorded a remarkable string of days with high temperatures 88 degrees or less in Birmingham. The streak ended Thursday at thirteen days when the mercury reached 90. Mobile observed six consecutive morning record lows. Well, summer is about to make a comeback, albeit a modest one.

THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY: A weak cool front is meandering southward across North Alabama this morning. The front is just about out of steam and will hang up just to our north today. Some drier and slightly cooler air has filtered into the Tennessee Valley, but it shouldn’t make it much further south. Only isolated showers and storms will form across North Central Alabama today. The front will push back north as a warm front early in the week and a summertime weather pattern will take hold with seasonal temperatures and the typical scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms.

ANDREW: On Saturday morning, August 22,1992, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center were alarmed to see that Hurricane Andrew was strengthening and moving faster toward the Bahamas and South Florida. Andrew was located 800 miles east of Miami, moving west at 12 mph. The Aviation model was the odd-man-out on this bright sunny morning in Miami, showing the storm moving faster toward South Florida, arriving early Monday morning. By evening, the official forecast showed Andrew making landfall on the South Florida coast about midday on Monday and a Hurricane Watch was issued along the East Coast of Florida from Titusville to Key West. This would give emergency management officials and the public only about thirty hours lead time before the actual landfall early Monday morning.
