...Drier Days; Cooler Nights...

GOOD MORNING: Well, it’s not exactly a nip in the air, but compared to our recent muggy low 70s for morning lows. Things will get even a little nicer for the next two mornings when we will see low to middle 60s in most locations. That will seem quite brisk. Actually, the daytime highs will be right on normal and the lows only 4 degrees cooler than normal. But we will take it.

THE WEEK AHEAD : Dry conditions should prevail through Thursday as a dry northwesterly flow aloft continues over Alabama. A slight chance of storms will return on Friday, with only a slightly better chance on Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures through the weekend will be right around seasonal norms for this time of year in Alabama.

TROPICS: Low pressure over the Florida Peninsula extends eastward for a couple of hundred miles. Tropical development is still not expected, but it will continue to pump copious amounts of moisture into a stationary front over the Appalachians. It is a recipe for extended heavy rains and flooding. Flash flood watches blanket nearly the entire East Coast from Northeast Georgia to northern Vermont.

A PREVIEW OF THINGS TO COME: A large tropical wav is about 800 miles east of the Windward Islands. It is poorly organized and is not expected to develop. But our attention will increasingly turn toward this area as we head toward August for hurricane development.

ON THIS DATE IN 1901: : Fish fell from the sky at Tiller’s Ferry SC during a thunderstorm. According to the Monthly Weather Review, hundreds of fish could be spotted swimming between the rows of cotton.

ON THIS DATE IN 1995: Virginia experienced its worst flooding since Hurricane Camille as a 500 year flood affected Madison County. Upslope flow resulted in a huge stationary thunderstorm that stayed over the same area for eight hours. Up to twenty inches of rain fell. Three people died and 20 were injured in the flooding.
