...Summer To Return...

GOOD MORNING! Refreshing! Readings across the area this morning will be
almost unanimously in the 50s. I am fairly certain that we will see at
least a couple of readings in the 40s from some of the normally colder
locations. There is a little bit of patchy fog out there, especially in the
valley locations where colder air has pooled. It will burn off quickly, and
we will enjoy a day of near total sunshine. We will enjoy another day like
today on Monday. A pronounced easterly flow will develop by Tuesday or
Wednesday, thanks to a monster high over the Northeast, and may spread more
clouds our way by then. Our next rain chances will come later in the week.

WHO 'YA GONNA CALL? When your rainfall deficit seems to be steadily
growin'? When your grass is slowly turning' brown" Who 'ya gonna call?
Droughtbusters. Nothing better for busting a drought than a tropical storm.
In a single day, we went from a deficit of over five inches to a surplus of
nearly four inches.

IVAN FLOODING: I believe that we narrowly dodged a major bullet with
potential flooding with Ivan here in Central Alabama. Two factors saved us.
Number one: the storm did not slow down as anticipated over North Alabama.
Secondly, there was little precipitation in the southwestern semicircle of
the storm. That means that we got only about half of the precipitation that
we might have received. As I saw those rainfall amounts piling up in
Trussville, I could envision about May 2003 flooding event. Then we got
eleven inches in just a couple of hours. As the rainfall reached 7.90
inches, most of it in four hours, the Cahaba River was once again lapping at
the bridges in the northeast Jefferson County town. Fortunately, the rain
began to taper off, and there was very little after the center passed.
There was some serious flooding in the Birmingham area, but nothing like
there might have been.

IN THE CORNER: Alright, I got put in timeout by a couple of readers today
who did not take kindly to my suspenseful ending about the 1926 Miami
Hurricane. Just what was the disaster that happened two years later? Read
about it in today's Weather Talk.
