...Remembering Dennis...

GOOD MORNING: A few lucky spots got rain on Sunday thanks to an upper level
trough of low pressure. About 80% of the I-20/59 corridor and te I-65
corridor north of Birmingham saw rain, with scattered 0.50 to 1 inch
amounts. The best amounts were over isolated areas of Pickens, DeKalb, Clay
and Randolph and northeastern Jefferson County northwest of Pinson, where
over 1.5 inches was indicated by radar.

THE FORECAST: Showers and storms look like a fairly good bet today across
the area. Then we settle into a typical summertime pattern through
Thursday, with scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms each day.

TROPICS: Two features of note in the Tropical Atlantic this morning. One
is a tropical wave about 1000 miles east of the Windward Islands. It
developed decent convection overnight and even looked like a circulation
might be forming. But it is entering an area of significant wind shear and
development is not likely. The second area is an upper low north of the
island of Hispaniola. It also developed decent convection overnight, but
development is unlikely here also.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY: Brian Peters and I were in Foley, Alabama awaiting the
arrival of Hurricane Dennis. The hurricane had intensified rapidly the day
before, its central pressure dropping 37 millibars in 24 hours. Peak winds
reached 145 mph on the morning of the 10th, but the storm thankfully
weakened in the hours before landfall.

Hurricane Dennis made landfall between Gulf Breeze and Navarre Beach,
Florida about 2:40 p.m. CDT with top winds of 120 mph and a central pressure
of 946 millibars. A storm surge of 7 feet accompanied the storm on Santa
Rosa Island. Up to 9 feet of storm surge occurred in Apalachee Bay. Part
of the town of St. Marks was inundated. Twenty two people died in Haiti,
sixteen in Cuba, there in the U.S. and 1 in Jamaica.
