GOOD AFTERNOON: There is an amazing lineup of musical artists performing
around the world today as part of the Live 8 Concert. Venues include
London, Rome, Paris, Philadelphia, Berlin and Toronto. The objective of the
worldwide concert is to influence the leaders of the G8 nations who are
about to meet in Scotland to consider the plight of the impoverished nations
of Africa by increasing aid, forgiving debt and revising trade policies.
Artists and bands such as Sting, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John,

The Cure, Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews, P Diddy, Faith Hill,
Green Day, the Barenaked Ladies and Pink Floyd are just a few of the acts
that are playing. Critics say that the original Live Aid concert in 1985
did little to help the situation in Africa. Those same people say the same
thing about the today's Live 8 concerts. No matter your political view, you
can catch a part of the historic event tonight on ABC3340 between 7 and 9
p.m.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: At the jet stream level, the westerlies are pushed well
north into Canada, which is typical of summertime. In the mid levels of the
atmosphere, the axis of a broad trough extends north-south through the
middle of Alabama. This upper level support has allowed a cool front to
meander down into North Alabama this morning. Dew points across Alabama are
in the 70s, while at Nashville, they had dropped to 64 at mid morning.
Question is: how far south will the front make it before it runs our of
steam. Current indications are that the front will stall over Central
Alabama, but wash out and move north as winds become southerly again late on
Sunday.

This means that areas near and south of the front will experience scattered
showers and thunderstorms today. By noon only a couple of light showers
were on radar between Montgomery and Anniston. Tomorrow, they will still be
primarily south of Birmingham, but we will retain a slight chance of a
shower or storm across the area. On the Fourth, we will be in the middle of
a soupy, warm airmass, with typical afternoon shower and storm development.
Any storms that do form should die out in advance of the evening fireworks
shows.

REST OF YOUR WEEK: Tuesday should be typical summer weather, but another
front will approach Alabama from the north on Wednesday. This front will
stall out over
the Tennessee Valley Thursday and Friday, enhancing shower and thunderstorm
chances over North Alabama for late in the week.

OUT OF CONTROL: Prescribed burns are an important tool used by the Bureau
of Land Management to mitigate the likelihood of major forest fires. There
are very specific rules and guidelines that must be followed in conducting a
prescribed burn. On this date in 1999, a planned prescribed burn got out of
control near Lewistown, California.

Twenty three homes would be burned before the fire was brought under
control. An investigation revealed several errors by the team responsible
for the prescribed burn. A test fire was to be conducted, but was not.
Weather factors were not considered. A plan of protection for nearby homes
was not discussed in advance and adequate resources were made available in
case the fire got out of hand.
