GOOD AFTERNOON: I have always enjoyed the Jack Horkheimer Star Gazer
series. You can watch it on the web at www.jackstargazer.com. This past
week, he had an interesting piece on a spectacular astronomical event that
will be occurring tonight and Monday night. The two closest planet to the
Sun, Venus (#2) and Mercury (#1) and the sixth, Saturn, will appear so close
in the sky that they will even appear to merge. All three are in the west
northwest sky and have been moving inexorably towards one another for weeks.
Last night, they could fit in a circle that was only 1 ½ degrees wide. Go
outside tonight, 45 minutes after sunset. The three planets will appears to
be less than ½ degree apart. Tomorrow night, they will appear to be an
amazing 1/10 of a degrees apart. This is the closest they will appear
until the year 2070. Of course, this apparent near collision is an
illusion. Mercury is 95 million miles from the Sun, Venus 143 million miles
from the Sun and Saturn is one billion miles from our Sun. But it will be
fun to look at, if skies are clear enough.
OUR WEATHER: Morning upper air analysis still shows a broad low over the
southeastern United States. A large rain area rotated across North Alabama
during the overnight and morning hours along the northern periphery of this
upper low. That rain area was exiting northwest Alabama at late morning.
The airmass over Alabama is warm and moist, and with some sun breaking out
over Central Alabama, additional storms will percolate this afternoon. It
is very possible that another area of rain and storms could form to our east
and migrate westward across the area at some point during the overnight,
much like last night. Some patchy fog could also form overnight. The main
player in our weather all week will be the Bermuda High. It will continue
to act as a moisture pump, drawing moist air northward from the Gulf of
Mexico. Scattered showers and storms will be with us each day though the
week, with daily coverage in the 30-40 percent range. A cool front will try
to drift down into the Tennessee Valley late in the week, probably enhancing
our daily rain chances Friday and over the weekend.
WILDFIRE SEASON: At least thirty wildfires were burning across parts of the
West yesterday, including California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
People in the west will be anxiously awaiting the summer monsoon.
SEVERE WEATHER TODAY: There is a moderate risk of severe weather today over
parts of the northern Plains, including parts of North Dakota, South Dakota
and western Minnesota. An extremely airmass is in place over the region,
along with a weak capping inversion. The inversion will act as a lid to
keep the pot bubbling until later this afternoon. When thunderstorms do
form, they will intensify explosively. Surface winds will be southeasterly,
while higher in the atmosphere, they will be from the southwest, setting up
the necessary spin for supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes.
ON THIS DATE IN 1959: Lightning struck a Lockheed Constellation airliner
near Milan, Italy, causing it to crash. It is one of only two airliner
crashes that are known to have been caused by lightning.
