...The Tropics Are Active...

One week ago today major Hurricane Ivan moved through Alabama, on a track
from Gulf Shores to Selma to Birmingham and Gadsden. Almost hard to believe
we are still talking about Ivan this morning, and of all places, in the Gulf
of Mexico! The system was upgraded to a tropical depression last night, and
should move into the Louisiana or southeast Texas coast tonight.

Elsewhere in the tropics, Hurricane Jeanne is forecast to get very close to
the southeast U.S. Atlantic coast early next week, then moving parallel to
the coastline all the way from North Carolina to New England. The
circulation center could be close enough to land at times to create problems

with high wind and storm surge along the Atlantic coast.

Hurricane Karl is headed north toward Iceland, and Tropical Storm Lisa is
having a hard time surviving in the central Atlantic. Lisa might be absorbed
by another tropical disturbance just to the east, which might be upgraded to
tropical storm Matthew today. Confused enough? Bottom line is that these
systems should not bother the U.S. mainland.

AT HOME: We are pretty much going with a dry forecast for the next seven
days. A cold front should pass through Saturday night in dry fashion, and
will provide a fresh supply of cooler and dry air for Sunday and Monday.

SUMMER 2004: The average daily temperature for Birmingham wound up at 76.9
degrees, below the normal of 77.2 for summer. The hottest temperature was 95
degrees, recorded on July 14 and July 24. Birmingham's summer rain total was
20.27", well above the seasonal normal of 12.93. Of course, we can thank
Ivan for that.
