...Moderate Drought Conditions...

GOOD MORNING! I don't have to tell you that it has been dry across Central
Alabama. Most areas have experienced less than 50% of their normal rainfall
over the past thirty days. This has resulted in moderate drought
conditions. More in today's edition of Weather Talk.

SPOTTY RELIEF IN SIGHT: Storms should be isolated at best across the area
today, but we may see enhanced storm chances tonight and Monday as an upper
trough swings across the area.

The rest of the week will feature seasonably hot and humid conditions, along
with the standard afternoon and evening summertime thunderstorms.

These showers and storms will only provide localized relief from the drought
conditions we are experiencing.
Temperatures this week will be near or just above seasonal norms for Alabama
this time of year.

TROPICS: The tropical Atlantic is relatively quiet. There is a tropical
wave and upper low over the western Atlantic, extending down into the
Caribbean. There is also an easterly wave east of the islands of the
Lesser Antilles. We will be paying increasing attention to these tropical
waves as we go through the next few weeks. But for now, tropical storm
formation is not expected anytime soon.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: Just after 4 p.m. CDT, Pan Am Flight 759, prepared
for takeover from the New Orleans International Airport. There were
thunderstorms in the area and showers were occurring over the end of the
runway. The plane encountered a microburst just after takeoff. The
resulting crash killed the 145 passengers and crew onboard and 8 people on
the ground.

ON THIS DATE IN 1959: Keith Browning, an English meteorologist, coined the
term "supercell" for a strong, self-sustaining thunderstorm after observing
several strong thunderstorms on radar across southeastern England.
