===================================================================
GOOD MORNING: I still am awed when I get the rare opportunity to fly by a huge cumulonimbus cloud in a plane. Yesterday, I had the perfect chance as my short flight from Memphis to Birmingham took off in hazy skies and passed by an isolated thunderstorm cell over northern Mississippi. The beautiful storm was all by itself, with a nice updraft and anvil. As we maneuvered around the storm, the majestic cloud was just a couple of thousand feet away from the plane. It felt like you could reach out and touch it. As we glided around the southeast flank of the storm, I had a great view through a clear slot right into an extremely dense rain shaft. Fingers of lightning flicked down from time to time, like a serpent tongue. It was a magnificent sight.
JUNE RUNNING OUT: I cant believe that June is nearly gone. At the Birmingham Airport, temperatures have been dead on normal this month. Our warmest reading in the month has been 92, although we might break that tomorrow. The coolest has been 59 degrees. We are almost 1.5 inches above normal in the rainfall department at the airport. Your actual rainfall amounts will vary.
OUR FORECAST: Showers and storms have been less plentiful across North and Central Alabama this afternoon as high pressure edges in. A few showers and storms will form across the area this afternoon. If you are lucky enough (or unlucky, depending on your attitude) to get under one of those storms, it will probably wear out its welcome due to sluggish movement that will lead to some heavy rainfall amounts. Look out for the lightning also. High pressure will be moving in over the next couple of days, and the temperatures will edge up a bit into the 90s. Our daily storms will be isolated again tomorrow.
HOLIDAY WEEKEND: A front will sag down to near the Tennessee/Alabama border on Friday. This will enhance showers and storm chances over North Alabama somewhat through the weekend. With plenty of heat and moisture (highs will be in the low 90s each day,) you will deal with some sun, high humidity and the chance of a strong storm each afternoon.
TOPIC; TROPICS: Tropical Storm Bret moved inland on the coast of eastern Mexico this morning about 325 miles south of Brownsville Texas. Top winds in the small storm were about 40 mph. Elsewhere in the tropics, a strong tropical wave is moving into the eastern Caribbean. Upper winds are unfavorable for development of this disturbances, but there are ominous signs already in place as we move toward the heart of hurricane season. Sea surface temperatures across much of the Atlantic and Caribbean are above normal. The Bermuda High has been strong also, which would prevent recurvature of Cape Verde storms.
ON THIS DATE IN 1826: Thomas Jefferson made his last entry in his weather observation log on this date, just six days before he died. The weather held a fascination for Jefferson, and he made regular weather observations at Monticello. He bought his first thermometer while working on the Declaration.
