...Typical Summer Sunday...
Saturday started off nice, with a wide band of showers and thunderstorms across North Central Alabama. The majority of the rainfall amounts were light, less than one quarter of an inch. The Birmingham Airport did pick up 1.55 inches during pre-dawn thunderstorms. Here in nearby Trussville, we only observed 0.16 of an inch. 1.52 inches fell at our SkyCam site on the Daniel Building in downtown Birmingham. Doppler radar estimates of one inch did fall over a wide area of Lamar, Fayette, southern Walker, western Jefferson, northern Tuscaloosa and northern Pickens Counties.
A GRAY START: Your Sunday is probably getting off to a foggy start, or at least a cloudy one, with lots of low, gray clouds. Lots of low level moisture left over from the storms of Friday and yesterday along with dry air aloft set the stage overnight for the development of clouds and fog. The stratus will be with us for a few hours. A look at the ABC3340 SkyCam atop Mount Cheaha State Park showed a visibility near zero by 10 p.m. last night. Take it easy if you are driving early this morning before the fog lifts.
TODAY/TOMORROW: Thunderstorms will be isolated across the area today, as Alabama comes under the influence of an easterly wedge emanating from high pressure over the Northeast. The best chance for storms will be on an arc from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa. Skies should quickly become partly cloudy as the fog lifts, and temperatures will rise to near 90, just about normal for this time of year. Monday looks like it will be a carbon copy of today, with partly cloudy skies, isolated storms and highs near 90.
WEEK AHEAD: Thunderstorms will become a little more likely on Tuesday as an upper trough loves across the area. Those rain chances will remain with us through Thursday. Highs should range between 90-94. Lows will be in the lower 70s.
TROPICS: Tomorrow marks the average date that the first hurricane forms in the Atlantic. Nothing so far. The GFS hints at a tropical low in the Gulf later in the week ahead, heading toward Texas and western Louisiana.
ON THIS DATE IN 1979: An unexpected storm blew up during a sailing race in the waters off the English Coast, capsizing seventy seven boats. It is regarded as one of the worst disasters in the history of yachting. Every available boat and helicopter along the coast was pressed into duty in the largest marine rescue since the British evacuation of the beaches at Dunkirk during World War II. The official weather forecast for the day called for moderate winds, but winds reached force ten (55-63 mph) during the disaster. The incident is the basis for the book Fastnet: Force Ten.
