GOOD AFTERNOON: Our friendly Friday front lies along the Gulf Coast this afternoon. After a comfortable morning with a little fog draped around the area, temperatures have warmed into the 80s across the area. Skies have been mostly sunny. Dew points are only slightly lower than yesterday, despite the front. Readings tonight will be comfortably near normal with mostly clear skies. Sunday will be a few degrees warmer than today, and a few locations may see their warmest temperatures so far this year. Another cold front will be heading our way out of the northwest tomorrow. This will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms our way tomorrow night into the day on Monday.
WEEK AHEAD: Those showers and storms will gradually clear the area by Monday night, setting the stage for some fine weather Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will be seasonably mild with a northerly breeze. Moisture levels will pick up on Thursday as high pressure slides to our east. A front will also be approaching from the northwest. Showers and thunderstorms will again move across the area on Thursday, lasting into early Friday. We will have to keep shower in the forecast into Saturday also.
YO, ADRIAN! The first named tropical cyclone of the 2005 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season formed this week and made an unusual landfall on the coast of the Central American nation of El Salvador late Thursday night. The storm was weakening at landfall, and it weakened rapidly as it moved over the mountainous terrain of neighboring Honduras. There was some thought that it might regenerate over the waters of the southwestern Caribbean as it moved northeast. There is an area of thunderstorms on satellite photos over the Caribbean this morning that is the remnants of Adrian, but it looks unlikely that the storm will reform. There is a low near Cuba this morning, but that system is not associated with Adrians remnants.
ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Golfers participating in a golf tournament on the Majestic Golf Course in Hartland, MI received an urgent message on the Global Positioning Units on their carts. The message, replayed from the clubhouse, was that a tornado was bearing down on the course. Most of the golfers made it to safety in the clubhouse, although some had to take shelter out on the course. Only one golfer suffered a minor injury. The F2 tornado damaged 70 cars in the parking lot along with numerous golf carts and a pontoon boat. The clubhouse received minor damage.
ON THIS DATE IN 1860: The Dutch government wanted weather reports for its port cities. They approached meteorologist Christopher Buys-Ballot. The weatherman used a network of observing stations reporting by telegraph. Although his network was sparse, Bays-Ballot had discovered a helpful weather maxim. To be named for him, the principle states that if an observer stands with the wind at his back in the northern Hemisphere, low pressure is to his or her left. Using this technique, an observer can detect and track the movement of low pressure systems even without a weather map.
