==================================================================

THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY: Good afternoon! It's another hot one out there
as upper level high pressure continues to be the greatest influencer in our
weather. There is an every-so-subtle cool front draped across the Tennessee
Valley region. It dips to the south over Northeast Alabama, as such fronts
often do, gaining momentum as they slide down the backside of the
Appalachian Mountains. Thunderstorms are hard to come by once again this
afternoon over the area. A weak trough is expected to set up across the
southern parts of Alabama and Georgia. Surface lows should develop and move
along a boundary that will set up there, perhaps enhancing our shower and
thunderstorm chances a bit tomorrow and Monday. Sunday will be quite warm,
with highs reaching well into the

THE WEEK AHEAD: More stable air may infiltrate North Alabama in the
Tuesday-Thursday time frame, lessening those shower and storm chances.
Temperatures will also remain near seasonal levels throughout much of the
coming week, held back just a bit on Monday by the increased shower chances.
But Friday, the famed Bermuda High will look just like it does in the
textbooks, and Alabama will be under its tropical spell.

SPACE WEATHER: A massive sunspot appeared on the surface of our very own
star last week. The huge sunspot unleashed a coronal mass ejection that
produced significant displays of the aurora borealis as far south as
Michigan, Minnesota and Washington State. With the sunspot still in place,
additional geomagnetic storms could occur over the next several days. Don't
look for any auroras here in Alabama, but northern states could enjoy some.

TROPICS: Forecasters at the NHC have been monitoring an area of disturbed
weather that extends from the Bahamas northeastward to the vicinity of
Bermuda. A Hurricane Hunter plane was scheduled to investigate the area
this afternoon, but has been cancelled. Another area of disturbed weather
was formed west of Jamaica in the Caribbean, but further development is
unlikely.

TROPICS-INTERNATIONAL EDITION: Tropical Storm Celia continues on a westward
path this Saturday afternoon. Wait! Celia? Wasn't that name retired? Oh,
that's Atlantic Celia from 1970. This is Tropical Storm Celia, in the
eastern Pacific Ocean. It is barely at tropical storm force this afternoon,
and will likely weaken to a tropical depression before tonight. Next week,
we will begin talking about the famous Celia, that struck the Texas coast in
August 1970.

MORE RECORD MADNESS: The Thursday morning low at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
was a toasty 90 degrees, which was a record warm minimum for the date. Then
on Friday, the high temperature at Hilo, Hawaii reached 90 degrees. This
was a record high for the date. The old record was 88 degrees. 1.83 inches
of rain had already fallen in Topeka, Kansas this morning, a new record for
the date with more rain expected to fall.

ON THIS DATE IN 1788: George Washington had the unique opportunity to
observe a strong hurricane as it passed directly over his plantation at
Mount Vernon. Read his diary entry in today's Weather Talk.

...The Triple Hs...

GOOD MORNING! Time for my favorite summertime alliterative phrase: hot, hazy and humid. That best summarizes our weather on this Saturday. A cool front is knocking on the door over North Alabama, but it will probably have a hard time making it very far south. Still, it will spark the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms today across the area. The fly in the ointment in this forecast will be a surface trough or low pressure system that will develop to the south and southeast of Alabama over the next couple of days. The proximity of the subtle front to our north and the low pressure system may enhance our shower and storm chances

REST OF THE WEEKEND: Skies will become fair again overnight, with a little patchy fog in the morning. Skies will become partly cloudy again by lunchtime, with scattered thunderstorms developing again during the afternoon. Thunderstorm coverage tomorrow may be just a tad more widespread than today. Temperatures through the weekend will remain just slightly above normal.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Showers and storms will continue to be scattered across the area early in the week, but become more isolated by Wednesday as the trough moves east.

TROPICS: An area of disturbed weather continues over the Atlantic east of Florida. Upper level wind conditions are becoming a little more favorable for development, so Hurricane Hunter aircraft will investigate later today.

OZONE FORECAST: A yellow air pollution alert remains in effect for Jefferson and Shelby Counties today and Sunday. Especially sensitive people should not over-exert outdoors.

RECORD MADNESS: All-time record high temperatures established on this date include: 121F near Alton, KS and 118F at Minden, NE back in 1936. Las Vegas recorded their al time record high at 117F on this date in 1942. It was 112F at Louisville, GA on this date in 1952, the warmest reading ever in the Peach State.

==================================================================

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: As we look out across the vast North American
weatherscape this afternoon, we are envious of the chilly rain and
temperatures in the 50s in western Nebraska and the scattered frost this
morning in Upper Michigan. We're not envious, however, of the daybreak
temperature of 90 in Phoenix and 86 in Las Vegas, where the humidity is so
low that your throat feels like leather.

Let's come back home to Alabama where we are dealing with hot temperatures
and a lot of haze and a Code Orange Alert for air quality. A few storms may
develop over extreme north Alabama later this afternoon and possibly one or
two as far south as Central Alabama. Over the weekend, we expect a low
pressure area to develop to the east of Alabama and move ever so slowly
toward the west and SW. this will bring us improving chances of some showers
and thunderstorms for the next several days. Some drier air may be pulled
down into north Alabama, almost cutting off the showers for the extreme
north on Sunday. Probably the best chance of showers and storms for central
Alabama will be Monday and Tuesday. This will help hold down our high
temperatures to the upper 80s early in the week.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Lots of cloudiness and thunderstorms over the SE Bahamas
northward to about halfway between Bermuda and Florida is associated with an
upper level disturbance. Two surface low pressure areas may merge as upper
level winds become more favorable for development over the next day or so.

An air force recon plane is going to investigate this Saturday afternoon, if
necessary.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Can't get away from the chance of scattered
thunderstorms each along the Alabama-NW Florida coast. The best chance will
be Monday and Tuesday. Regardless, there will still be some good intervals
of sunshine with high temperatures hanging out in the lower 90s. The sea
surface temperature at Dauphin Island is an unusually warm 88. Good thing
there's not a hurricane in the Gulf, because it would thrive on water
temperatures that high.

CLEARING OFF MY DESK: Scattered frost in the middle of summer? It was 34
this morning at Clarksburg in Upper Michigan-8 degrees colder than the
lowest in Alaska...the Birmingham rainfall deficiency is creeping back
toward 5 inches. One year ago today, we had already received about 45 inches
of rain for the year-12 inches ahead of this year.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure am glad to have my e-mail working again.
It was not the internet provider's fault. Instead, two settings in the dark,
mysterious, scary inner workings of my computer. My computer whiz son-in-law
solved it in only 15 minutes around 1 o'clock this morning. All of this to
say that little Miss Molly had a very disruptive night of sleep. She was out
walking after midnight and she and I had a long one hour post-midnight play
session with her plastic bone. Our morning walk was totally uneventful until
the very last. As we came down off the walking track into our backyard,
Molly jumped a grasshopper and took off like a Blue Angel jet. It caught me
by surprise and her leash wrapped around my big, tall heavy copper rain gage
jerking it over onto the concrete. It sounded like a metal building
collapsing. Molly bolted and took off as far as the leash would let her. She
then turned around and glared at me like I did it on purpose for punishment.
But life goes on.

... Scattered Storms Return...

As moisture deepens across Alabama, and a weak surface front approaches from
the north, we expect to see some thunderstorms on radar this afternoon for
the first time in five days. The most numerous storms should be across the
Tennessee Valley of extreme north Alabama, but some could form as far south
as the I-20 corridor.

THE WEEKEND: The front to the north of Alabama should fizzle out, leaving us
in a moderately unstable and moist airmass, so we will pretty much roll with
the typical mid-summer forecast tomorrow and Sunday (partly sunny, hot, and
humid with scattered afternoon storms). Some of the model data is hinting at
a surface low pressure area forming over southeast Alabama, which tries to
pull drier air into the northern part of the state on Sunday. If this
happens storms could less numerous on Sunday afternoon.

Early next week, the surface low elongates into a trough and slowly drifts
westward, which should mean an increase in the number of showers and storms
on Monday and Tuesday.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: A code orange air quality alert remains in effect for
Jefferson and Shelby counties today. The primary problem is actually not
ground level ozone, but particulate pollution. Yesterday's AQI (air quality
index) was 138, the worst air quality day for Birmingham so far this year.

AT THE BEACH: About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine each day through the weekend,
with the daily risk of a passing storm in scattered spots. Temperatures will
peak around 90, and the sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab
late yesterday was a warm 88 degrees.

A WET DAY: Indianapolis was soaked with 3.56" of rain yesterday.

==================================================================

A code orange ozone alert continued for the Birmingham metro area today due
to a lot of hazy sunshine, hotter temperatures and light winds. It is still
not unusually hot for July, but temperatures will edge up a bit for Friday
into the lower 90s.

We will also have some moisture feeding back into our area. Look for widely
scattered, mostly afternoon, thunderstorms Friday-increasing some on
Saturday. We're also looking toward the north for another front that wants
to make its way south. We're not sure how far south it will go. Some of the
pesky models send it all the way to the coast. The more likely scenario is
for it to stall and lose its identity in central Alabama. Therefore, on
Sunday the scattered showers and storms could be limited to areas east and
south of Birmingham. A low pressure area is also expected to develop over SE
Alabama, NW Florida and south Florida. This may give us a better chance of
showers and storms on Monday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: That reconnaissance flight into the tropical wave in the
Caribbean was canceled this morning because the system showed no signs of
growing. Later today that disturbed weather area weakened more and now the
National Hurricane Center does not expect it to develop.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: While we are suffering a bit with the heat and
humidity in our area, folks in Upper Michigan will be pulling out their
sweaters this afternoon. Temperatures will drop into the mid 50s with north
winds up to 25 mph. By daybreak tomorrow, they will experience some
temperatures as low as 38-40. In Chicago, where it was in the low 90s with a
severe thunderstorm watch this afternoon, it will get no higher than 72
Friday with much lower humidity and brisk north winds.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS: Death Valley was again the hottest spot in the country
Wednesday with a blistering 122. What few people that are there take that in
stride...some cold temperatures this morning included: 39 in Stanley, Idaho;
36 in Deadhorse, Alaska; and 111 below zero at Vostok, Antarctica where the
wind chill was an amazing 145 below zero!..3.47 inches of rain in
Indianapolis overnight, 3.85 inches in Goshen, Indiana and 2.41 in Omaha.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Occasionally my little Miss Molly cannot
resist embarking on another crime spree. I bought a new pair of trousers.
Before they could be put away, she had them in the floor and chewed off all
of the tags. Then, she found a bag with a huge ball of new yarn. By the time
she got through with that, big clumps of the yarn were scattered across the
living area. When we vocally scolded her, she looked at us as if to say,

"Well, what do you expect? I'm only a little puppy and I can take only so
much temptation." I guess it could be compared to me having a box of brown
sugar/cinnamon Pop Tarts, a banana moon pie and a Buffalo Rock (my favorite
soft drink) and expected not to partake. Life goes steadily on and I'm glad
it's never dull.

The combination of summer heat, light wind, and no rain means more air
quality problems for Birmingham today, and a code orange ozone alert remains
in effect for Jefferson and Shelby counties. Yesterday's AQI (air quality
index) was 123, which is considered "unhealthy for sensitive groups", and
today could be just as bad. Consider avoiding drive-thoughs during the
middle of the day, refueling your car after 6:00 p.m., and setting the
thermostat a few degrees higher today.

THE WEATHER STORY: While a rogue shower or storm is not totally out of the
question this afternoon, we believe most Alabama communities will remain dry
today with hazy sunshine and temperatures rising into the low 90s.
Moisture deepens a bit tomorrow into the weekend, which means higher
humidity and the return of scattered showers and storms during the afternoon
hours. A front approaching from the north should fizzle out before reaching
us over the weekend.

A stronger surface front could bring an enhanced chance of rain or storms
around here by about Tuesday of next week.

TROPICS: A strong tropical wave continues to move through the Caribbean,
and there is some chance it could become a tropical depression soon. An Air
Force hurricane hunter is scheduled to investigate at some point today. The
latest package of tropical models continues to suggest a steady westward
motion, with the system ultimately going into Mexico or Central America.

SUMMER HEAT: Sizzling summer heat continues in Phoenix, where the high
yesterday was 111 degrees. Death Valley, CA was the hottest spot in the
nation with 122. Alabama's hottest city was Montgomery with 94.

==================================================================

BACK TO TRIPLE-H WEATHER: That's what we call it occasionally in our long
hot summer. The triple-h stands for hot, humid and hazy. It's true that the
humid part has not been as bad lately, but it will be getting a bit worse
over the next couple of days. Even our temperatures have been fairly
comfortable, but during the next three days look for the highs to heat up a
bit to mostly the low 90s and possibly even some mid 90s.
For about the third morning in a row, we had some nice daybreak
temperatures. A few of those:

59 at DeSoto State Park
61 in Ft. Payne
63 in Pinson, Decatur, Gadsden Airport
64 in Cullman, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa
65 at Anniston Airport

HOW ABOUT RAIN? Not much chance until maybe a few isolated storms show up
Friday afternoon. There could be some scattered showers and thunderstorms,
mainly Saturday afternoon as another "cool front" gets closer to the state.

There is a big question mark whether this front will move through. It may
get down into central Alabama, however, by Sunday giving the northern part
of the state slightly lower humidity and highs dropping back into the upper
80s.

AIR QUALITY: We were under a code orange ozone alert today thanks to the
hotter temperatures, more sunshine and light winds.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The National Hurricane Center was sending an air force
reconnaissance aircraft into the tropical wave late this afternoon. It was
located south of Hispaniola and it has become a little better organized.

There is no evidence so far of a closed surface circulation, but upper level
winds are becoming more favorable for tropical cyclone development. It could
eventually become Alex.

THREE DOT STUFF: A fresh push of unseasonably cool air could bring some
upper 30s to northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan tomorrow night...extremes
in the last 24 hours: 119 in Death Valley, 39 in Stanley, Idaho...2.84
inches of rain in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater area in the last 24 hours,
2.06 in Naples and 1.77 in Ft. Myers...

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I feel sorry for little Miss Molly because our
erratic bedtime can foul up her sleeping routine. Last night I had her out
walking past midnight and out again very early today for our morning walk. I
always have to keep my eyes open for little dangers along the way...this
morning Molly came very close to gobbling up a bee on two occasions and I
pulled her back at the last second...don't think she would have enjoyed a
bee sting on her tongue...near the north end of the walking track, an old
crow was cawing loudly as if in distress. Other crows began to gather around
and I felt sure we were about to have an old crow version of a parking lot
rumble or a community riot. We did not wait to see it. Molly had her city
inspector's hat on this morning...stopping 200 times to check things out. I
finally mentioned the word "treat" and she bolted for home...have to use
psychology at times. Life goes on.

...Afternoons Get Hotter...

GOOD WEATHER; BAD AIR: We have a code orange ozone alert for the Birmingham
metro area today, meaning air quality is expected to be unhealthy for
sensitive groups of people, like those with asthma. On ozone alert days like
this, consider: turning up your thermostat to conserve energy, walking or
riding a bike when possible, refuel your vehicle after dark, and carpool
with your co-workers. Yesterday's air quality index in Birmingham was 105,
which is in the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" range.

THE ALABAMA STORY: Our forecast package will highlight a gradual increase in
heat and humidity over the next few days across Alabama, with afternoon
temperatures peaking in the 91 to 95 degree range in most places. We will
maintain a generally dry forecast through Friday, with the risk of any one
spot seeing an afternoon storm less than 10 percent.

THE WEEKEND: Another surface front will approach Alabama by Saturday, but
this time upper air winds probably won't allow the front to push through the
state. We will forecast a few storms on Saturday and Sunday, but with only
limited upper air dynamics they should be widely scattered, and mostly
during the peak of the daytime heating process. Another words, pretty
routine weather for mid to late July with highs in the 88 to 92 degree
range.

TROPICS: A rather strong tropical wave continues to move through the eastern
Caribbean this morning. While winds aloft are not particularly favorable for
development, now, we still think there is a chance this system could develop
into a tropical depression before the week is over. The system is moving
steadily to the west at about 25 mph.

NICE BREAK FROM JULY HEAT: It's not too bad out across the countryside
again this afternoon as temperatures were mostly in the 80s and the humidity
quite a bit lower than what we are supposed to have on a July afternoon.

It's going to be gradually getting hotter over the next few days as high
temperatures edge upward to between 92 and 94. The atmosphere is still
rather dry and we're not going to mention any rain until a slight chance
about Friday afternoon. It looks like Saturday will be our better chance of
getting some scattered showers and thunderstorms. It was another nice cool
morning and there was a touch of autumn all the way down to Selma and
Montgomery. One of the lowest temperatures this morning was 58 at
Hackneyville in Tallapoosa County. It was 59 in Ft. Payne and Ashville, 60
in Cottondale, 61 in Talladega, Cullman and Scottsboro and 62 in Fayette,
Heflin and Wadley. In places like Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Livingston and
Jasper, it was 64.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A fairly active tropical wave over the eastern Caribbean
was wasting no time moving westward at 20-25 mph with showers and gusty
winds. The National Hurricane Center thinks that the upper winds are
unfavorable enough to prevent tropical development any time soon.

AIR QUALITY: It's the same old story-another code yellow for today, which
means moderate air quality.

DID YOU KNOW? That in an average year, Baghdad gets only 4 to 8 inches of
rain. In Saudi Arabia, Riyadh only gets about 2 inches a year. As a point of
comparison, Birmingham receives about 54 inches.

LOOKING FAR AND WIDE: 120 in Death Valley was the hottest in the USA
Monday. They will stay that way much of this week. Phoenix had 110 and they
should have 110 to 111 for the next several days...USA lows this morning
included 39 at Deadhorse, Alaska and 46 at Lake Tahoe...at the
Amundson-Scott station in Antarctica, it was 101 below with a wind chill of
140 below.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is so much fun to wake up with little Miss
Molly. She and I both awoke at 5:15 this morning. She yawns for 5 minutes
and stretches and groans. I immediately got up to call my internet tech
support in Louisville, because my e-mail had been down since yesterday.
Almost immediately Molly began to ring the little bell on the back door more
vigorously than ever. It sounded like the popsicle truck coming down the
street or Santa landing on the roof with his sleigh. The guy in Louisville
finally said, "Is someone ringing your doorbell this early?" I replied
without any explanation, "No, that's my little puppy ringing the back
doorbell because she needs to go outside." He replied, "What!!!" I hope you
were out as early as Molly and I. If not, you missed a terrific sunrise. It
appeared as a huge orange basketball rising through the fog and haze. Just
another interesting start to the day in my tiny corner. Life goes on.

...Lots of Summer Sunshine...

Walking out of the TV station last night the air had that "fall" feel to it.
Not exactly what you expect on a mid-summer night in Alabama. The humidity
was low, temperatures were very comfortable, and there was not a cloud to be
found in the sky. On the radar yesterday afternoon, there was not a single
shower to be found across any of Alabama's 67 counties. Another sign this is
a very unusual weather pattern, and representative of the dry air that
covers the state.

That dry air stays in place today, so again we expect a sunny day, a warm
afternoon, and relatively low humidity values. Moisture slowly returns over
the latter half of the week, and a few scattered afternoon storms could show
up by Thursday and Friday.

WEEKEND PEEK: Another surface front approaches Alabama on Saturday, and
should bring an increase in the number of scattered showers and
thunderstorms. I am not so sure this front will push all the way through
Alabama, and some of the models suggest low pressure forming on the front to
the west of the state. So, we will maintain the risk of scattered storms
into Sunday at this time.

TROPICS: A strong tropical wave is moving into the eastern Caribbean this
morning. There is some potential for development as it moves steadily to the

west at about 25 mph.

AIR QUALITY: A code yellow forecast again today for the Birmingham metro
area, meaning air quality is expected to be moderate. We have had very few
code orange alerts so far this summer, which is a good thing!

ROAMING: Birmingham's high yesterday was only 85 degrees, 18 degrees cooler
than Rapid City, SD, where the high was 103.

A NICE WAY TO WAKE UP: Temperatures were 8 to 10 degrees cooler than they
have been on recent mornings. That cool front that we advertised for days
pushed all the way off the Gulf Coast. This afternoon, dew points across
north Alabama were in the mid 60s, meaning that it was fairly comfortable
July afternoon.

I can think of several places I would like to be today, such as driving up
the Paint Rock River valley or hiking on the boardwalk trail that leads
into the woods at DeSoto State Park. Let's celebrate these low temperatures:

58 in Valley Head
59 in Ft. Payne, DeSoto State Park and Cullman
60 at High Top
61 in Huntsville, Decatur, Meridianville
62 in Pinson and Ashland
63 in Russellville and Bankhead National Forest
64 in Trussville, Clanton, Jasper, Mentone
65 in Anniston, Birmingham, Guntersville

Lows tonight will be just as nice-possibly a degree or so cooler. Afternoons
will gradually heat up a few degrees, but we don't see any risk of rain
until late in the week.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A vigorous tropical wave was 275 miles east of the
southern Windward Islands moving quickly toward the west at 25 mph. While
there is no sign of tropical development at this time, there is some
potential later.

AIR QUALITY: Code yellow again today for the Birmingham metro area meaning
moderate air quality.

MONDAY NOTES: Some pleasant temperatures around the South this morning,
including 49 atop Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina and 40 atop Mt. LeConte near
Gatlinburg...the USA lows: 46 at Lake Tahoe and 35 at Barrow,
Alaska...Sunday's cooking spot was Death Valley with 118...something very
interesting in Alabama weather. On this date in 1997, Hurricane Danny
reached the Alabama coast with gusts to 80 mph. Much more important,
however, was the fact that he stalled and dumped some unbelievable rainfall.


There was 36.71 inches at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, including an
incredible 26 inches in 7 hours. A four-story condominium under construction
at Gulf Shores was leveled. At the Marriott Grand Hotel in Point Clear, a
wedding was conducted even though the power was out and one of the
bridesmaids could not get to the hotel.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I was determined not to let little Miss Molly
sleep late this morning. I got her out and walking at sunrise while there
was a touch of autumn in the air. It was about 62 degrees and even the birds
were chirping with more enthusiasm. About halfway through the walk, one of
those singing mockingbirds dive-bombed Molly. It so happened that she was
right in the middle of doing her "business," so she took off after the bird.
I had to rein her in and backtrack about 15 yards to scoop up you know what.
I refuse to leave any MP (Molly poop)...that little blue scoop has become as
much a part of my life as Matt Dillon's rifle or John Dillinger's machine
gun...Molly is a nice little diplomat. Even total strangers who don't know
me from Adam's yard dog will wave when Miss Molly is around. I wave back
with my little blue scoop. I hope they don't mind. Life goes on.

...Nice Start To The Week...

GOOD MORNING! Greetings from the Sooner State. This morning's forecast
comes to you from Ardmore, Oklahoma. Texarkana, Denton and the Big D are on
this week's travel schedule. Will be back Friday night in time for the
Saturday forecast package.

THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY is headlined by a highly amplified weather pattern
across the U.S. That means that the upper air pattern across the country is
characterized by a huge trough in the East that dips all the way to the Gulf
Coast, while the west is under the influence of a huge ridge that extends up
into Canada. It looks more like a springtime pattern than one we would
normally see in July. The trough is allowing some cooler, drier air to seep
down into the Deep South. Drier, sure, but cooler? Well, mainly drier.
Drier air means less in the way of clouds and showers and dry air heats up
better than moist air, so we will actually see normal to slightly above
normal daytime highs this week. The comfortable overnight lows we are
experiencing courtesy of the lower dew points will gradually edge back
upward.

THE WEEK AHEAD: You can expect lots of sunshine today and Tuesday with
lower humidity and nice nighttime readings. A dry front will come through
late on Tuesday, serving to reinforce the current regime. Skies should be
partly cloudy on Wednesday. Our surface flow will start to come out of the
south again by Thursday, bringing back the chance of scattered PM storms for
Thursday and Friday. A better chance of rain should come on Saturday as a
front approaches.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Hail larger than eggs in central China killed at
least 15 people. Injured people poured into hospitals after the giant
hailstorms went on a 30 minute rampage in northern Henan province. It had
been a deadly year in China with over 800 people dying in flooding.

==================================================================

GOOD AFTERNOON! Our cool front did push through much of North
Central Alabama overnight. It continues to slowly move south this
afternoon, having progressed to a line from at least south of Atlanta to
south of Meridian. It is hard to be much more specific about the front's
location beyond that. We have not seen the breezy north winds that we
expected, so we still have a warm, hazy and humid afternoon in place over
North Central Alabama. The drier air should begin to filter into North
Alabama overnight, allowing for clear skies and comfortable overnight
readings in the 60s in most locations.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Sunny and less humid conditions will prevail as we
move into the new work week. Northerly flow will continue to filter dry air
into the state through Tuesday, keeping our dewpoints in the 60s and making
those humidities a little more bearable. Ironically, the northerly flow
actually means warmer temperatures. With few clouds and no storms, sunshine
will be in full reign, allowing the mercury to rise to seasonable levels.
Expect 90 tomorrow and 91 on Tuesday. A weak front will push through the
state late on Tuesday, but it will be dry.

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: Wednesday should be a lot like Monday and
Tuesday, with skies partly cloudy and only a slight chance of an afternoon
or evening storms. Our surface flow should become southerly by Thursday,
allowing for increasing moisture levels and raising the coverage of PM
storms to the scattered variety. Believe it or not, another cool front will
approach Alabama starting on Friday, increasing our shower and storm
chances. The best chance for rain will likely come on Saturday as the front
will be in the proximity. It should pass through the area at some point on
Saturday.

IN THE TROPICS: Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are
tracking three tropical waves moving across the tropical Atlantic. None of
them are especially promising, although there seems to be a concentration of
convection with the wave about 300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. There
was a lot of convection over the northern Gulf this morning, but anything
there would be slow to develop. An upper level low off the Northeast
Florida coast is producing thunderstorms, but development there would be
slow also.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: Several daily rainfall records were set all
across the country yesterday, from Elko, NV to Charlotte, NC. The 4.14
inches of rain in Charlotte was a daily record. Monroe, LA picked up a
record 3.08 inches of rain. 4.16 inches fell at Raleigh, NC. It was 63 in
Tulsa, OK this morning, setting a new record. Several Oklahoma stations set
new record lows for the date. We will be within about 5 degrees of our
record low come tomorrow morning as a touch of the same airmass that caused
the Sooner State records settles into our area.

ON THIS DATE IN 1987: Eight inches of fresh snow covered the
northern Sierra Nevada Range and the temperature at Susanville, California
dropped to 17!...the wind chill index on Slide Mountain, Nevada, near Reno
was -20 with 52 mph wind gusts.
