===================================================================
GOOD AFTERNOON: Its another hot, hazy and rather humid Saturday afternoon
out there across Alabama. Any showers and storms that form over North and
Central Alabama will be isolated today. The next few days will feature more
in the way of showers and storms as moisture levels increase.
AIR QUALITY ALERT: Jefferson and Shelby Counties will continue under an
Orange Level Air Quality Alert today. An inversion will continue to trap
pollutants in the lowest levels of the atmosphere today, giving us the
persistent haze with visibilities reduced to around 5 miles. An Orange
Level means that the air outside can be unhealthy for vulnerable individuals
to breathe, including the very young, the elderly and people with breathing
problems. Prolonged exposure and outdoor exertion should be avoided. The
Air Quality Index is forecast to drop back into the yellow category on
Sunday.
REST OF YOUR WEEKEND: A tropical wave moving north off the Florida East
Coast has been spreading showers and thunderstorms across southern Georgia
all morning. This area was weakening as it headed toward South Alabama. We
will introduce a chance of showers tonight, mainly south of Birmingham,
however. Moisture levels will continue to increase through Sunday, and
showers and storms will be fairly numerous tomorrow across the area.
Coverage will be about 40-50 percent. There will still be a few showers
around Sunday night
TOPIC: TROPICS: There are signs that a low pressure system is forming in
the area of disturbed weather associated with the tropical wave southeast of
the Carolina coast. Air Force Reconnaissance was scheduled to depart
Keesler AFB at 12 noon CDT. If they find a low pressure system that is warm
core, or warmer at the center, it will be classified as a tropical
depression. If it is a hybrid between warm core (tropical) and cold core,
it will be classified as a subtropical depression. It should move into the
Carolinas tonight before it gets a name. It would be Bret if it did.
WEEK AHEAD: Alabama will continue in a warm and moist weather pattern for
much of the coming week with daily doses of showers and storms. The
majority of tem will come during the afternoon and evening hours, but with
the plentiful moisture and disturbances rotating around the subtropical
high, a shower or storm is possible at any time.
ON THIS DATE IN 1988: Until this date, Erie, Pennsylvania, was one of the
few non-mountainous spots in the Lower 48 that had never reached 100°. The
high of 100°, after a morning low of 64°, broke Erie's previous all-time
record of 99° (9/3/53). Erie's records date back to 1873. Cleveland
established their all-time record high with a reading of 104 degrees.
ON THIS DATE IN 1957: At noon, the tropical depression in the southwest
Gulf of Mexico was upgraded to a hurricane and christened Audrey. Air Force
reconnaissance investigating Hurricane Audrey over the southwest Gulf of
Mexico found a central pressure of 973 mb. Audrey would eventually achieve
Category 4 status before devastating the Cameron LA area on the 27th. I
will continue to share
