...Heating Up...

GOOD MORNING: I love the sound of cicadas. They are the sound of summer to
me. It was nice doing some yard work yesterday afternoon as building high
pressure suppressed all of the thunderstorm activity and left us with a
nice, sunny, hot summer day. All the while, I was serenaded by the
beautiful sound of cicadas. All too soon, those sounds will be gone. Oh,
well...

THE WEEK AHEAD: Showers and storms were only isolated across Alabama on
Sunday afternoon. High pressure will continue to hold sway over Alabama's
weather for this week. This will give us typical summertime weather with
hot temperatures, partly cloudy skies and the typical scattered afternoon
thunderstorms. Dew points will be high, so temperatures in the 90s will
produce heat indices 100 degrees during the afternoon hours. So remember to
take it easy if you have outdoor activities planned during the hot part of
the day this week.

EMILY: Hurricane Emily is traversing the Yucatan Peninsula, having made
landfall early this morning. The hurricane will weaken somewhat overland,
but it should re-emerge shortly over the warm waters of the southwestern
Gulf of Mexico. Emily should re-intensify into a category three hurricane
again by Tuesday afternoon with top winds of 120 mph. It should cross the
coast of northeastern Mexico Tuesday night.

The only complicating factor in the forecast is a trough passing across the
continental U.S. This trough may pull Emily a little further north than
forecast, perhaps threatening the extreme Southeast Texas coast. This does
not appear to be a likely scenario, however, and Emily will die a pretty
quick death over the mountains of northeastern Mexico this week.

INTERESTING RECORD: The morning low at McCarran International Airport in
Las Vegas, Nevada was a broiling 93F. This is the warmest morning low ever
observed at Vegas. Just the day before, they had observed their hottest
daily average temperature with a high of 115F and a morning low of 92F.
