GOOD NIGHT, ARLENE: It's goodbye and good riddance to our first tropical
storm of the season. The remnants of Arlene are moving quickly northward
through Kentucky this afternoon. The NWS Mobile reports that a 3-5 foot
storm surge was felt along the coast from dauphin Island to Destin. Some
peak wind gusts, lowest pressures and rainfall amounts observed:

Pensacola Airport 59 mph 29.29 2.72
Pensacola NAS 52 mph 29.28* 1.17
Dauphin Island 53 mph 29.47
Navarre FL 63 mph* 29.39 1.58
Mobile Airport 40 mph 29.51 4.52
Destin 52 mph 29.53 1.86
Milton 62 mph 29.38 3.29
Evergreen 39 mph 29.48 2.31
Tuscaloosa 29 mph 29.56 2.18
Montgomery 35 m ph 29.64 0.96
Birmingham 33 mph 29.65 0.85
Meridian MS 32 mph 29.69 2.83
Tupelo MS 28 mph 29.62 3.21

One to three inches of rain fell over about a 90 mile wide swath west of
I-65 all the way to Winston County. This area of heaviest rainfall was
centered on the track of the low.

MOVING FORWARD: Alabama remains in the midst of a tropical airmass in the
wake of Arlene. This airmass will lend itself to the development of
scattered showers and storms with the heating of the day, even this
afternoon and continuing through Tuesday. A rare mid-June cold front will
approach Alabama from the northwest on Wednesday, increasing our storm
chances Tuesday night and Wednesday. This front should make it through the
area, giving us drier and less humid conditions for the end of the week,
lasting into the weekend. The GFS model still hints at tropical development
over the Caribbean next week, curving it over Cuba and out into the
Atlantic.

SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK TODAY: Last week, a forecaster at the NWS Norman,
Oklahoma made the observation that this weekend featured the most classic
severe weather setup he had seen in 25 years. Every storm chaser in America
started to salivate. There were a couple of significant tornadoes on
Thursday, but Friday and Saturday featured very little in the way of severe
weather. A strong upper level disturbance will make today an active severe
weather day across the southern Plains, from Northwest Texas into western
Oklahoma. My friends Karen and Gene Rhoden will be heading out later to
catch some tornadoes in their natural habitat.

ON THIS DATE IN 1899: An F5 tornado struck the town of New Richmond,
Wisconsin, killing 117 people were killed and injuring over 200. The
circus was playing in New Richmond, which meant an additional 1000 people
were in town for the performances. Over 300 buildings were damaged or
destroyed as the tornado went straight through the center of town. Six
families had four or more members killed. A 3000-pound safe was blown a
full block. High visibility limited the death toll.
