..Dog Days Of Summer...

GOOD MORNING! July 3rd marks the official beginning of the Dog Days of Summer. The Dog Days are named for the Egyptian belief that the Dog Star Sirius added to the heat from the sun during the period of time from July 3 through August 11. That is when Sirius rises and falls with the sun.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Our cool front never made it. It became a stationary front near the Alabama/Tennessee border. We should have known that would happen. It is difficult to get a front through here in the middle of July. Moisture levels continue to be high, and a southeasterly breeze today will reinforce that. With a good bit of sunshine pushing temperatures to near 90 or just a bit higher, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across the area this afternoon. There is about a 1 in 3 chance that your backyard or lake spot will get wet with one of those storms. If you find yourself under one, expect lots of lightning and heavy rain along with some gusty winds.

FORECAST FOR THE FOURTH: Tomorrow will be a lot like today, with scattered thunderstorms developing again with the heating of the day. Most of the storms should diminish before the firework presentations. Temperatures on Monday will be near 90 in most locations.

REST OF THE WEEK: We stay in the soup through midweek, with lots of heat and humidity and those typical afternoon and evening summertime thunderstorms. Another front will approach on Wednesday, increasing our rain chances again.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Parts of the Hill Country of Texas were inundated by flooding rains over a five day period caused by a persistent upper level low pressure system that meandered across the area. During a five day period San Antonio had picked up over 14 inches of rain, nearly half of their average annual rainfall. The 9.53 inches that fell on July 1st was enough to establish the monthly record for the city - all in one day. Normally, only two inches of rain falls in San Antonio during the month of July.

===================================================================

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.

..Dry and Hot Weekend...

GOOD MORNING! Well, a little interesting weather yesterday as we watched an
outflow boundary leftover from an overnight thunderstorm complex back over
Arkansas. The little mini-cool front raced southeastward into North Alabama
during the late morning hours. As it did, a line of thunderstorms formed
along the boundary. There was quite a bit of dry air present in the
mid-levels of the atmosphere, which is an efficient setup for downbursts,
which can produce damaging winds. There were a couple of reports of wind
damage in Madison County during the early afternoon.

Two sets of thunderstorms merged over Tuscaloosa County and looked
impressive for a while on radar as they crossed into Jefferson County.
Winds gusted to 31 mph at the ABC3340 Weathernet site at Legion Field.
These storms began to weaken as they moved into an area of warmer mid level
temperatures over Central Alabama, but they put out their own outflow
boundary that produced more storms over eastern Jefferson County. These
storms would become severe over Talladega County, and produced wind damage
in Cleburne County. The biggest storm of the day affected West Alabama
later in the afternoon. This storm produced 1.75 inch hail near Epes in
Sumter County, along with numerous trees down.

OUR FORECAST: Today and Sunday will be dry, with mostly sunny and hot
conditions. Winds will become southerly again by Monday, bringing back
moisture and giving us the traditional summertime forecast of scattered
afternoon and evening storms. There are some signs that an upper level low
will try to form over the Southeast late in the week, increasing our rain
chances.

TROPICS: The tropical wave over the Central Caribbean will be of interest
as it moves west northwest toward the Yucatan and the southern Gulf of
Mexico early in the week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1986: Amazingly, an F2 tornado at Jacksonville, NC that
killed three people was the deadliest twister of the year in 1986 as the
United States experienced only fifteen tornado deaths during the year (an
all-time low since records began in 1916.)

===================================================================

WELCOME TO JULY: Thunderstorms are marching steadily south and eastward
across North and Central Alabama this afternoon along the subtle boundary
left by the outflow from a dying storm complex to our northwest last night.
The storms are feeding on some high instability over the state. Some of
the storms could be strong to severe, with downburst winds, heavy rains and
deadly lightning the primary threats. There might even be a little bit of
hail. The Storm Prediction Center had much of Alabama included in a Slight
Risk area for severe weather this afternoon, but removed that classification
on the late morning convective outlook, with the caveat that some of the
storms this afternoon could be briefly severe.

OUR FORECAST: A summer cold front is located to our north this afternoon.
It will have a hard time making it past Central Alabama, and may hang out
across the area as it slowly loses its identity.

More storms may fire along the front as it edges south overnight tonight.
Behind the front, parts of the Tennessee Valley may get a little temporary
respite from the humidity, with hints that some drier, 60 degree dew point
air may filter into that region tomorrow.

It appears that the focus for shower and storm development on Saturday will
be over Central Alabama, south of Birmingham, but there will still be a
chance across the I-20 corridor, with lesser chances as you move north.
Sunday should be a lot like Saturday, with better chances for storms as you
go south. With a northwesterly flow aloft, you can't rule out the
development of storm complex that slide southeast, so we will watch out for
those.

As the front fizzles, we will be in a typical summertime airmass with lots
of heat and humidity for the Fourth of July. This means that showers and
thunderstorms will develop with the heat of the day, dying after sunset in
time for the big fireworks displays across the area.

That same weather pattern will be with us through much of the coming week.
Temperatures will be seasonable with highs near 90, and lows near 70.

TOPIC: TROPICS: Watching a tropical wave moving through the Central
Caribbean. Conditions will become favorable for development of this system
as it moves northwestward toward the Yucatan Peninsula and the southern Gulf
of Mexico over the next three days. It would not be a big surprise to see a
tropical system develop in the Gulf and head toward New Orleans early next
week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1776: The Continental Congress was debating whether the 13
American Colonies should declare their independence from Great Britain on
this date in Philadelphia. The weather all spring and summer in
Philadelphia had been warm, and the past few days had been very steamy
indeed. On this morning, John Dickinson had just finished his great appeal
for remaining loyal to the British when rain began to fall. As John Adams
stood to deliver his oration for independence, a summer thunderstorm broke
over the city. Adams, who had been scared of lightning and thunder as a
child, delivered his own thunderous speech.

..Strong Storms Possible...

Yesterday was one of the hottest days so far in 2005 for Alabama;
Birmingham's official high was 92 degrees. The hottest temperature in the
state (based on the official reporting sites) was 94 degrees, measured in
Tuscaloosa, Pinson, and Decatur. Anniston, Huntsville, and Muscle Shoals all
reported 93.

Today should be just as hot, but unlike yesterday we expect an active
thunderstorm pattern by afternoon as a surface front approaches from the
north. Some of the storms could be heavy with the potential for strong
winds, and a few severe thunderstorm warnings could be required.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: The front should become nearly stationary along the
Alabama/Tennessee border tomorrow, with drier air creeping into the
Tennessee Valley. That front will wash out on Sunday, leaving us in a moist,
tropical airmass so typical of summertime in Alabama. So, our forecast will
sound pretty familiar through Monday; partly sunny, very warm, very humid,
and the risk of a passing afternoon shower or storm every day. Temperatures
over the weekend should top out around 90 degrees.

AT THE BEACH: Good weather for the central Gulf coast over the Fourth of
July weekend; about 7 to 9 hours of sunshine daily with a few scattered
storms. High temperatures will be in the 87 to 90 degree range on the
immediate coast, and the water temperature is still in the low 80s.

TROPICAL UPDATE: A tropical wave in the Caribbean is moving to the west, and
upper air winds might be more favorable for development during the next
couple of days. Some of the models put this in the Gulf of Mexico early next
week with some potential for organization over the warm water.

===================================================================

JUNE WRAP-UP: Not counting any rain that falls this afternoon or tonight,
Birmingham's rain total for June will wind up at 4.91", which is ahead of
the normal amount of 3.78" for any given year. Temperatures have been
running a little below normal; our hottest day was on June 14 when the
mercury reached 92 degrees. Temperatures reached or exceeded 90 degrees on
only three days this month, but bad at all for June in Alabama. On the first
day of the month our high was only 70 degrees.
Looking ahead to July, I see nothing in the long range model output to
suggest any runaway heat around here. With plentiful soil moisture and the
persistent upper air pattern in place, it will be hard to get upper 90s or
triple digits in here this year. I am sure thankful for that.

LOOKING TO THE NORTH: A powerful storm system is on the U.S./Canadian border
this afternoon, with a trailing cold front down across the Midwest. This
surface front will bring heat relief to cities like Minneapolis and Chicago,
and will even be a player in our weather within the next 24 hours.

A band of storms is expected to form in advance of the front, and should
move into north Alabama at some point tomorrow afternoon. As the storms
progress to the south, they will have the potential to produce strong winds,
brief heavy rain, and a ton of lightning. Before the storms arrive, we
expect temperatures to soar back into the low to mid 90s, making for a very
unstable atmosphere. A few severe thunderstorm warnings will probably be
required.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: The front should hang up somewhere over north Alabama
tomorrow night and Saturday as it becomes parallel to the upper air winds,
and the main upper support moves way up north into Canada. The GFS is
suggesting drier air will slowly creep into the northern half of the state,
but getting a good push of dry air in here in early July is not very common.
For now we expect fairly routine summer weather for the Fourth of July
weekend. partly sunny days, fair nights, and a few widely scattered storms
each afternoon. High temperatures will be in the 89 to 92 degree range, and
showers for the most part should not interfere with fireworks shows Monday
night.

AT THE BEACH: Pretty decent weather for the central Gulf coast for the
weekend; about 8 to 10 hours of sunshine each day with the potential for a
few passing showers or storms. Highs will be close to 90; the water
temperature at Pensacola this morning was 83.1 degrees.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin is relatively quiet and tropical storm formation
is not expected through the weekend. The GFS tries to develop a system well
east of the U.S. Atlantic coast in the July 8-11 time frame.

ALL WET: Tropical downpours dropped a whopping 5.90" of rain at
Jacksonville, FL yesterday, making it the 20th wettest day in the city's
history. A total of 57 homes reported flooding, with 27 of them having major
damage.

FROSTY MORNING: Coldest spot in the nation this morning was Shirley Basin,
WY with 30 degrees.

..Only Isolated Storms Today...

The air over Alabama will be a little drier and more stable today, so we
expect more sunshine and fewer afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Any
storms that form this afternoon should be pretty isolated, and with the
increased amount of sunshine we should rise into the low 90s.

Mid 90s are possible tomorrow, but an approaching surface front could send
thunderstorms in here late in the day and tomorrow night. Some of those
storms could be fairly strong with gusty winds. That front will drift into
north Alabama on Saturday, with drier doing its best to slip into the
Tennessee Valley. It is doubtful the dry air will reach Birmingham; so we
will have to maintain the risk of scattered storms on Saturday as well.

That surface front will slowly dissipate over the weekend, and we will
continue to forecast routine summer weather conditions on Sunday and Monday.
We will have to dodge a shower or thunderstorm in spots over the weekend,
but no total wash-out.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical storm Bret fizzled out over Mexico yesterday,
well to the south of the southern tip of Texas. A tropical wave is moving
through the Caribbean this morning, but upper air winds don't favor any
tropical storm development right away.

AT THE BEACH: Some pretty decent weather ahead for the holiday weekend along
the central Gulf coast; about 8 to 10 hours of sunshine each day with just a
few scattered showers and storms around . Daytime temperatures will peak
around 90 degrees, and the sea water temperature is running in the low 80s
off the Alabama coast.

DRY HEAT: Phoenix soared to 108 degrees yesterday, highs out there today and
tomorrow will be in the 110 to 115 degree range.

===================================================================

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 can’t 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.

...Hotter Weather Ahead...

Today will be another day with some sun and a few storms across north and central Alabama. Most of the sun will come during the midday hours, and most of the storms will come from about 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. Like yesterday, the storms won’t move much, and a few communities will see heavy amounts of rain. But, on the other hand, many places will see no rain at all. That is the hit and miss nature of summer storms.

The weather begins to heat up tomorrow as more stable air slips into the state. In fact, we expect highs in the 93 to 96 degree range both tomorrow and Friday with only isolated afternoon thunderstorms.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: A weak front will stall out near the Alabama/Tennessee border, which might enhance afternoon storms across the Tennessee Valley. Otherwise, we still expect pretty routine summer weather Saturday through Monday. Each day will be partly sunny, very warm, and very humid, and we will have to dodge scattered afternoon showers or storms each day.

TROPICAL STORM BRET: The second tropical storm of the season formed last night just east of the Mexican coast. Bret is moving inland this morning well to the south of Brownsville, TX. In only twelve previous years since 1851, most recently in 1986, have two or more tropical storms formed during the month of June.

TUESDAY’S DOWNPOURS: A nearly stationary thunderstorm produced temporary flooding in the downtown Birmingham area between 2:00 and 3:00 yesterday; our
weathernet site at Legion Field measured 1.37”. The total at the Birmingham Airport was 0.94”. Our gauge on Noble Street in downtown Anniston picked up 0.96” during another downpour.
