...Will the Cold Front Make It?...

GOOD MORNING! A heat advisory continues for all of Central Alabama through
7 p.m. this evening as another hot day is on tap across the area.
Temperatures will rise well into the 90s again today, combining with dew
points in the middle 70s to produce dangerous heat indices of over 110
degrees. Remember to take it easy today. Wear cool clothing and drink
plenty of liquids. Spend time in a cool place. Check on vulnerable family
members, friends and neighbors.

OUR WEATHER STORY: Our much ballyhooed front is the big question mark.
There are now indications that it will not make it through the area. It may
stall out just to our north. In either case, the dramatic difference in dew
points may not materialize for early in the week. With the approach of the
front, we will see the development of scattered showers and storms today.
More storms will be in the forecast on Monday as the front lies across the
area.

Precipitation chances will fall back just a bit for the time period from
Tuesday and beyond. Temperatures will be near normal through midweek. Then
more high pressure will build in as we head toward the weekend, edging those
temperatures back well into the 90s. The dew points should be slightly
lower however.

TROPICS: One tropical wave continues moving westward to the north of the
islands of the Greater Antilles. Disturbed weather over the Northwest
Caribbean is not organized at this time. The tropical wave over the far
eastern Atlantic is associated with a lot of convection and could develop as
it continues west.

ON THIS DATE IN 1984: The Colorado State Fair in Pueblo was struck by
vicious hailstorm. Nine people were hurt, one seriously. Damage totaled $40
million and hundreds of light bulbs were broken by the hail.

URBAN LEGEND: Someone forwarded me an email with a question warning that
those plastic hotel keys contain sensitive guest information. Should you
be worried, or is this an urban legend? Find out more in today's edition of
Weather Talk.

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

GOOD AFTERNOON: Heading over to Atlanta today to watch my beloved Atlanta
Braves take on the San Diego Padres in an important game between two
division leaders in the National League. The Braves have been on a little
slide of late. The Braves are 5-5 in their last ten games, and this has
allowed the already close race in the NL East to tighten up just a smidge
more. It is going to be a great stretch run in Major League Baseball.

THE HEAT IS ON: Heat advisories continue through 7 p.m. Sunday across North
and Central Alabama for heat indices that will be above 110 degrees. That
means that it will feel like 110 degrees to your body. Heat of this
magnitude can cause serious health problems. Please remember to take
frequent breaks in a cool spot in you must be outdoors. Dress appropriately
in loose fitting, light colored clothing. Drink plenty of water. Don't
forget to check family, friends and neighbors.

OUR WEATHER: Temperatures should be the hottest seen o far this year in
most locations. Highs should average 95 degrees, with several readings in
the 97-100 degree range later this afternoon. The hottest readings observed
so far this year include: 94F at Birmingham, 96 at Anniston, 97 at
Tuscaloosa and 94 at Calera.

A large upper level trough is going to develop over the eastern U.S. This
will allow a cold front to penetrate deep into the South. This front will
spread a band of showers and storms across Alabama on Sunday. Some of those
could be strong to severe. Behind the front, drier air will spread into
Alabama, with temperatures falling back into the upper 80s for highs with
60s for lows for the first half of the week.

TROPICS: Things are remarkably quiet in the tropical Atlantic. The
remnants of Tropical Depression Ten are spreading over the Bahamas and there
is disturbed weather in the northwestern Caribbean. A strong tropical wave
has just moved off the coast of Africa. It is prime season for the powerful
Cape Verde storms to form, so we will be watching this disturbance carefully
as it moves across the Atlantic over the next week.

CANADIAN TORNADOES: Tornadoes touched down Friday afternoon near Guelph,
Ontario, about fifty miles west of Toronto. At least two twisters were
reported. Damage was relatively light and no injuries were reported.
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect at the Toronto Airport, site of
an August 9th crash of an Air France jet that ran off the end of the runway
during a storm.

ON THIS DATE IN 1992: Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami
were faced with a dilemma. A reconnaissance plane flying into then Tropical
Storm Andrew could not find a circulation center in the system located a few
hundred miles northeast of Puerto Rico, meaning that the system was
technically not even a tropical depression any longer. But forecasters
knew that the disturbance would be moving into an area that was favorable
for development, so they were reluctant to downgrade Andrew, as that would
be confusing to the public. Andrew would turn west and strengthen over the
next three days, making landfall as a Category 4 Hurricane in South Florida
during the pre-dawn hours of August 24th.

...Dangerous Heat Today...

GOOD MORNING: Temperatures will soar well into the 90s across North and
Central Alabama today with little in the way of clouds or precipitation to
slow them down. The combination of the high temperatures and high dew
points will result in heat indices of 105-110 degrees across much of the
area. This excessive heat can be very dangerous, and you will want to
remember your heat safety guidelines. Dress appropriately with light
colored, loose fitting clothes. Drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids.
Take frequent breaks in a cool place.

THE ALABAMA WEATHER STORY: Today could very well be the hottest day of the
year so far in some locations. The hottest readings observed so far this
year include: 94F at Birmingham, 96 at Anniston, 97 at Tuscaloosa and 94 at
Calera. Thunderstorms will be very scarce again today as a ridge of high
pressure continues across the area. Moisture levels continue to be very
high, with some of the highest dew points we have observed this summer last
evening. So, humidity levels will continue quite high today and tomorrow.
Any storms that do manage to form will be accompanied by brief heavy
rainfall.

COLD FRONT: A real live cold front is rumored to be heading towards
Alabama. By Sunday morning, the front will be moving southward into
Tennessee. The exact timing of the front's arrival is iffy, but it appears
that it will be late Sunday night or Monday morning. A line of showers and
storms should form and push ahead of the frontal system. Some of these
storms could be strong to severe Sunday. Behind the front, fair, dry
weather will prevail with much lower dew points and lows dropping deep into
the 60s!

ON THIS DATE IN 1886: The town of Indianola TX was a prosperous seaport on
Matagorda Bay. On the morning of August 20, 1886, a hurricane inundated the
low lying sandspit that the town occupied. Almost everything in the town
was destroyed by the hurricane. The survivors abandoned the town and it was
never rebuilt.

WHEN WILL OUR "COOL" FRONT ARRIVE? A good question. There are some
indications that it may slow down a bit. The best estimate now is that it
will reach Central Alabama late Sunday night or early Monday morning. After
that, it will slowly push southward and pause or stall over South Alabama.

So, what does all of this mean for Central Alabama weather? It means nothing
through Sunday. We will have scattered thunderstorms later this afternoon
into the evening and scattered afternoon storms on Saturday and Sunday. A
ridge aloft is trying to build into the area, so we do not think the
thunderstorms will be as numerous or as strong as on previous days. Even so,
an isolated storm could get a little rough and a few spots will get
downpours.

The delightful part of our forecast is the first two or three days of next
week when we have taken out the rain, especially on Monday and Tuesday. The
humidity will start dropping Monday and that will be very noticeable by
Tuesday. Our coolest morning should be Tuesday with lows of 63 to 65 across
Central Alabama and several degrees lower than that in the traditional
valley cool spots of North and NE Alabama.

STOUGHTON, WISCONSIN: It is located about 15 miles south of Madison west of
I-90 in SE Wisconsin. The tornado struck about 6:30 last evening.
Preliminary reports say that 80 to 90 homes were heavily damaged in Dane
County which includes Stoughton. But, the worst news is that at least one
person was killed and about six injured. The NWS in Milwaukee was very busy
today doing storm surveys. Quite a few tornadoes struck in South Wisconsin
yesterday...while we're on national weather, these few additional notes...26
in Eagle, Alaska this morning...the coldest in the lower 48 was 28 in
Stanley, Idaho...Rockford, Illinois 2.23 inches of rain overnight and Green
Bay 1.66 inches.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Category 5 Hurricane Camille moved ashore late at night
on August 17, 1969, but at this time on August 19, she was still causing
problems. The remnants of Camille was moving from Kentucky into SW Virginia.
She re-intensified rapidly setting off devastating flooding on the upper
James River. 107 people died and 55 were never found. It became the worst
national disaster in that area. Nearly 30 inches of rain fell in three to
five hours. Now, let us fast forward to today's tropical weather news.
Nervous weather continues from Puerto Rico north over the adjacent Atlantic
associated with what is left of Tropical Depression #10. There are no signs
of redevelopment, but it will continue westward the next day or two.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure would miss Little Miss Molly if she
were to ever run away or get dog-napped. Heaven forbid! Every time I go
anywhere in the house, if she is not asleep, I can feel those little four
paw steps at my heels I can almost hear her tail wagging like a fan. She is
either following only 3 inches behind me or racing ahead to grab one of her
balls inducing me to play. That is why I spend 30 to 45 minutes each day
just going 30 feet to get my cups of coffee. I am always waylaid and
detoured into a play session. I would absolutely not want it any other way.
As I have said before, interacting with that little girl is as relaxing as
eating a valium sandwich. She moaned and groaned as she curled up beside me
on the king-size bed last night. It is her way of saying goodnight.

...The Heat Cranks Up Again...

The heat will crank up a notch across Alabama today and tomorrow as the
mercury reaches the mid 90s. We will maintain the chance of a few afternoon
showers and storms, but they should be a little more widely scattered
compared to recent days thanks to a more stable atmosphere.

AUGUST COLD FRONT: A rare August front, helped along by a strong upper air
trough forming over the eastern U.S., will push through Alabama on Sunday,
and will bring a very welcome change to less humid conditions by Monday and
Tuesday. Nights will be cooler as well; by Tuesday morning we expect most
places to drop into the 60 to 65 degree range. Some of the cooler valleys
over north Alabama might even wind up in the refreshing upper 50s.

AT THE BEACH: Typical summer weather for the weekend along the central Gulf
coast. About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine daily with a few scattered storms.
Highs along the immediate coast will be in the low 90s, and the sea water
temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab late yesterday was a very warm 91
degrees.

TROPICS: A tropical wave, former tropical depression 10, continues moving
through the Atlantic. It should be near the southern tip of Florida early
next week, and there is still potential for some development.

MORE DOWNPOURS: Rain totals yesterday included 1.52" at Harris Dam on the
Tallapoosa River in Randolph county, .91" at Greystone Cove, and .88" at
Inverness. Our weather watcher in Inverness, Alston Keith, also reports a
total of 6.02" for the month of August so far, and rain on 12 of the first
18 days of the month.

AUGUST TORNADOES: At least three tornadoes touched down yesterday in
Wisconsin.

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

A COOL FRONT IN OUR FUTURE? Maybe so, but it is not sealed in titanium yet.
There are indications that cooler air spreading south from the Upper Midwest
and the Great Lakes will send a front through Central Alabama either late
Sunday or early next week. While we cannot be 100% sure, we are wording our
forecast to reflect some lower humidity and cooler nights starting early in
the week. See our day-by-day forecast for the details.

Meanwhile, we have more thunderstorms to deal with this afternoon and this
evening. Some of those again will be strong producing way, way too much
lightning and some communities will get downpours. It seems like it has been
going on forever, but do not be surprised to see a few severe thunderstorm
or flash flood warnings. The storms should fade away mostly by 9:00 p.m.
There may be a slight decrease in showers and thunderstorms Friday and
especially on Saturday. Conditions aloft will favor Saturday as being one of
our hotter days so far this year.

If that "cold" front comes on through, our coolest morning should be Tuesday
with some mid 60s possible across Central Alabama. It will be a few degrees
cooler than that in places like Valley Head, Bridgeport and Hamilton. Not
totally out of the question to hear of a low somewhere around 59.

TROPICAL WEATHER: We are so glad to say, "Goodbye, Irene." In fact, we are
even singing it. Would you believe that she has been around so long that the
final advisory today was number 56! She has pestered us since August 4. Also
in the tropics, former TD #10 was dissipating way out in the Atlantic. If he
could have held together and become a tropical storm it would have been
Jose. Recent models had pointed it along the north coast of Cuba and
possibly headed for Florida.

HINTS OF A CHANGING SEASON: Low temperatures have been in the mid 20s
consistently for the last week over Northern Canada. This morning it was 28
in good old Deadhorse, Alaska. That is just a hint of our changing season
that is not too far away...the cold spots in the lower 48 have been in the
NW recently, but this morning the coldest places were Whitefield, New
Hampshire with 35 and Saranac Lake, New York with 36. It is going to be very
chilly in Yellowstone National Park in the next few days.in sharp contrast,
a heat advisory continued this afternoon from NE Texas, NW Louisiana and the
south two-thirds of Arkansas.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has been in a chair-stealing
mood today. Every single time one of us got up to go get coffee or move
around, she would immediately plop down where we were sitting. She did not
want to get up and when we picked her up, she lets out a long, slow, moan
and groan and looks at us like we are mistreating her. Nice walk this
morning. Amazing lack of varmints. I have seen very few spiders this year
and I cannot remember seeing a single mosquito. I love it that way. Life is
more pleasurable without having to slap all kinds of varmints with my little
blue scoop. The scoop gets plenty of work doing "other things" especially
because I do a lot of guest scoops. My only claim to fame will be that of a
"poop eliminator!" But, that is an honorable occupation.

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

...Look Out For More Afternoon Storms...

Today's forecast package will again feature developing showers and
thunderstorms after the lunch hour. The chance of any one spot getting wet
is about one in three, and like recent days some of the storms will be
strong with plenty of lightning and very heavy rain.

TOMORROW AND SATURDAY: Warmer air aloft should mean fewer afternoon
storms, and slightly hotter temperatures. Most places should top out in the
93 to 96 degree range with lots of hazy summer sunshine.

AN AUGUST FRONT?? The models continue to be rather aggressive in
pushing a surface cold front through Alabama Sunday night and early Monday.
Doesn't happen too often in August, but it is certainly possible. We will
expect to see an increase in showers and storms Sunday afternoon and night,
followed by drier air on Monday and Tuesday.

Any showers that form early next week should mostly be over south
Alabama (we are assuming the model solution is correct), and our humidity
values should be lower. The dry air will also mean cooler nights; there is a
chance we get into the comfortable low to mid 60s by early Tuesday morning
of next week.

TROPICS: We still expect former tropical depression ten to regain
depression status today or tomorrow, ultimately becoming tropical storm
Jose. The system is expected to be somewhere around the Bahamas early next
week. It could turn northward at that point in the direction of the
Carolinas, or drift on across southern Florida into the Gulf of Mexico.. Too
early to tell at this time.

MORE SUMMER SOAKERS: One of the heaviest rain totals in Alabama
yesterday was 2.62" measured at Troy.

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

MORE MEAN STORMS: Storms formed quickly by midday and they sure
were making a lot of noise this afternoon. Unfortunately, they are
slow-movers which allows buckets of rain on some communities while others
don't get any. The lightning is almost continuous and we cannot emphasize
how dangerous that is.
The storms will continue this afternoon and into the evening. Not
out of the question that somebody will get a Severe Thunderstorm Warning or
Flash Flood Warning before the day is over.

That is going to be the same worn out story for tomorrow. In fact,
there could be an increase in storms tomorrow. We have those storms in the
forecast every single day, but they may be fewer in number Friday and
Saturday.

A COOL FRONT IN OUR FUTURE? There is a possibility, but there is
also a good chance that it will stall before reaching Central Alabama. Cold
fronts are rare this time of year, but we certainly get them occasionally.
It is getting that time of year where there is a slightly better chance.
Even as recent as last year, we had record lows in the mid 50s for three
mornings in a row about this time. Some of the computerized guidance brings
the cool front all the way down into South Alabama by early in the week. If
that happens, we could see some lows in the 60s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Hurricane Irene is way up in the North Atlantic
and a concern only to ships, sharks and whales. Old TD No. 10 is looking
stronger and may redevelop. A plane will look at the potential future Jose
tomorrow. Models hint he could be a USA guy.

LITTLE FROGS AND FALSE RAINFALL: Out of Wilmington, North Carolina,
this strange story. NWS had been getting some false rain gauge readings for
a couple of months. They finally discovered that small frogs were jumping
into the rain gauge where official measurements were taken. Those type
stations actually weigh the rain.

BIG BAD CAMILLE: James Spann has already written an excellent story
about super powerful Hurricane Camille on our weather blog. Only thing I
want to add is that I was on vacation near Salt Lake City the night Camille
came ashore. I drove up on an elevated area east of Ogden and listened for
hours to WWL, New Orleans. It is a legendary 50,000 watt blow torch heard in
many states. I got good reception and was totally mesmerized listening to
their continuous wall-to-wall coverage and the play-by-play account as it
moved inland on the Mississippi coast.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Poor Little Miss Molly. Actually we
went to bed early last night and I thought she would be up at 5:00. She
slept until 9:00 and we immediately went on our morning walk. It was plenty
hot. We heard one lone bird talking continuously near the Old Crow Motel and
finally another one across the walking track cranked up also. I am sure they
were talking about us and probably accusing Molly and I of being intruders.
At the end of the track I said, "Let us go back home, Molly and get a
treat." She always reacts immediately, but she had a short memory span this
morning and left the track five times to scrounge. Each time I would say,
"Treat, Molly, treat." and she would take off again. We got home she was so
hot that she stretched out on the the cool hardwood floor. I had to deliver
her treat! Life goes. On, hot dogs and hot humans.

...Another Typical August Day...

Today will be another day that will feature a classic summer mix of morning
sunshine and scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Most of the storms will come
from about 2:00 until 8:00 p.m., and like recent days some of those storms
will produce lots of wicked lightning, heavy rain, and gusty winds. Before
storms develop temperatures will again rise into the low and mid 90s.

We will pretty much stick with a persistence forecast through Friday, very
typical of mid-August in Alabama. We might see an increase in the coverage
of showers and storms late in the weekend and early next week in response to
a cold front which is forecast to stall out just north of Alabama. It is
doubtful that any of the cooler and drier air behind that front will reach
us.

STORMS OF SUMMER: More big downpours across Alabama yesterday, and some of
the storms were severe. About 4,500 Alabama Power customers in the
Birmingham metro area were in the dark for a brief time, and traffic was
snarled along U.S. 31 in Homewood for a while due to downed power lines.

Rain totals yesterday included 1.36" at Newell (Randolph county), 1.02" at
Vincent, .90" at Alexander City, .68" at Inverness, and .41" at Riverchase.

TROPICS: Irene intensified into a category two hurricane late yesterday. The
system is well to the southeast of Newfoundland, and is moving east over
open water.

The system that was tropical depression ten could regenerate today or
tomorrow. It is expected to be near the Bahamas in a few days, and could be
a threat to Florida, and might even have a shot of getting into the Gulf of
Mexico by early next week.
