...Front to Bring Showers/Storms...

GOOD MORNING! Checking the weather maps across North America this morning,
we find a large trough of low pressure over the western United States. It
is progressing eastward into the central part of the country. A long, snaky
cold front extends across the breadth of the country from the Great Lakes to
southwestern Texas. This front will edge closer over the next 24 hours and
try to push through our area by Monday. In the meantime, it will bring
increasing shower and storm chances for our forecast

FOR YOUR WEEKEND: A warm, humid airmass covers Alabama on this Saturday
morning. Temperatures will warm to near 90 degrees in most locations again
this afternoon, with skies becoming partly cloudy. There is about a 1 in 3
chance your community will see a shower or storm today and tonight. Those
chances will increase tomorrow as the cold front to our northwest edges
closer to Alabama. The front was expected to pass through the area by
Monday, giving us drier and less humid conditions along with very low rain
chances into midweek, but that is not for sure now. The front may slow down
and still be hanging around on Monday. This could delay or even cancel our
forecasted drier and less humid conditions.

TROPICS: The tropics have suddenly gotten very interesting with major
Hurricane Frances in the Atlantic and a strengthening Tropical Depression
Seven off the coast of the Carolinas. Frances will continue northwest and
slow down as a trough passes to the north of the tropical cyclone. It will
then resume a western course, passing north of the Greater Antilles early
next week. It could then threaten the Carolinas, or if the GFS model is
correct, it could move into the Gulf. TD7 will become Tropical Storm Gaston
before reaching the South Carolina coast on Sunday and turning north into
the Mid Atlantic states. The main threat from this system will be heavy
rains. Gaston? Must be French. He is the replacement for 1998's Georges,
whose name was retired.
