...Happy Labor Day...
It is nice not to have to get up early on a Monday morning, isnt it? I hope that you are enjoying a nice holiday, whether or not you have to work.
LABOR DAY WEATHER: Today will be a lot like yesterday, with partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures. Readings will top out around 90 degrees again today in most locations. A few showers will develop, like yesterday, but storms will have a hard time forming once again. This means that any outdoor activities you have planned today should be fine.
TONIGHT/TOMORROW: An upper level disturbance will pass to the north of Alabama over the next 24
hours. As it does, it will propel a weak front through Alabama. It does not look like it will be accompanied by much in the way of showers or thunderstorms, although they cant be ruled out.
REST OF WEEK: High pressure over the Gulf of Mexico and a rather flat pattern aloft will keep us dry through much of the coming week. The dry air will allow for some comfortable overnight readings just a little before normal before winds turn around to the south by Friday.
TROPICAL UPDATE: Tropical depression six formed yesterday afternoon midway between the Windward Islands and the coast of Africa. By the time that you read this, it may well be Tropical Storm Florence. It is forecast to be a hurricane by Thursday. The system was moving to the northwest toward a weakness in the subtropical ridge. This movement is expected to generally continue for the next five days, carrying the hurricane away from any significant land masses. It should be northeast of the Leeward Islands by Friday. The GFS turns it westward toward the Bahamas by next Sunday, but then curves it northward. It will be a nervous wait and see game.
SOUTHWEST TROPICAL RAINS: The remnants of Hurricane John have spread lots of moisture up into the Desert Southwest. Flash flood watches are commonplace over much of Central and southern New Mexico, southern Arizona and the deserts and mountains of extreme southwestern California. Especially vulnerable areas include those where wildfires have occurred. Flash flood warnings were issued in some locations yesterday afternoon and overnight.
ON THIS DATE IN 1939: A similar situation was occurring as a dying tropical cyclone dumped heavy rains of up to 7 inches on the mountains and deserts of southern California. Blythe received more rain than would normally fall in one year and Imperial received more rain than would normally fall in two years. Four tropical cyclones would impact southern California during the month of September 1939, an unprecedented situation.
