...Dog Days Continue...

GOOD MORNING: We continue to be in the Dog Days of summer here in Alabama.
A few showers and storms formed on Sunday across Central Alabama, in
response to an upper level trough that was meandering southward. It should
be south of us today and we will return to the normal pattern of only
isolated storms during afternoons and early evenings.

LITTLE RELIEF: Significant rainfall amounts were spotty on Sunday. Most
areas picked up less than one tenth of an inch, but scattered areas saw one
half inch, with widely scattered locations getting over an inch, according
to Doppler radar estimates. 1.67 inches fell in West Hueytown in just 45
minutes at mid-afternoon, a figure that agrees nicely with the radar data.

AND NONE REALLY IN SIGHT: At least in the short and medium range. Partly
cloudy, hot, hazy and humid will be the weather word through midweek, with
only tiny afternoon storm chances. A more developed southerly flow may give
us better chances by Thursday and Friday, with even better chances for the
weekend as a trough tries to set up over the area.

HEAT INDICES: We should see highs in the middle 90s and dewpoints in the
lower 70s for much of the week ahead. This will push heat indices into the
105 degree range during afternoon hours, which is the danger threshold for
heat exhaustion and heatstroke, so take it easy.

TROPICS: A long frontal boundary lies off the East Coast today. Low
pressure systems are rippling along it. The one off the North Carolina
coast shows some promise for development, potentially tropically. It will
be moving northeast and should be of no consequence to land.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: Tragedy in Papua, New Guinea near Australia as a
relatively small earthquake caused three tsunami as high as 45 feet to
strike the north coast. Over 2200 people died, many of them never found
because they were swept out to sea or devoured by saltwater crocodiles or
wild dogs. The waves destroyed five villages along an 18 mile stretch of
coastline.
