...Rain In Our Future...

Today will be another summerlike day across North and Central Alabama with a
good bit of sunshine, lots of puffy cumulus clouds and then scattered
thunderstorms developing during the afternoon hours. Coverage of the
thunderstorm activity should be higher than in the past couple of days, with
the enhancement of an approaching trough and cool front. Those rain chances
should really increase tomorrow as the front approaches from the north. But
first.let's look at Florence.

FLORENCE LASHING BERMUDA: The second hurricane of the 2006 Atlantic
hurricane season is passing just west of Bermuda this morning. The storm
maintained its intensity through the evening hours despite a ragged
appearance on satellite. Tropical storm force winds were reported on the
island overnight and depending on the actual track, hurricane force winds
might be experienced this morning. 63,000 people live on the island, which
is a British territory.

We always refer to it as a singular island, but it is actually a collection
of over 130 islands comprising less than 28 square miles. Hurricane Fabian
killed four people and caused over $500 million in damage in September 2003.

OUR FORECAST: Some disagreement in the models concerning our weather over
the next two days. The NAM model is drier and slower. The GFS is wetter
and faster. Somewhere in the middle is probably the truth. Look for
scattered storms today, a little more numerous than yesterday and more
likely to the south. Highs will rise into the upper 80s again in most
locations. Clouds should be on the increase tonight, with a shower
possible. Tuesday could be a wonderful day if you like wet, dreary, cool
day. I love an old Peanuts cartoon where Snoopy seeks out Charlie Brown in
a pouring rain and thinks "September rains make me lonesome." But they are
wonderful. Temperatures on Tuesday may not get out of the 70s. So, bottom
line, look for good rain chances on Tuesday into Tuesday night. The front
may not pass through until Wednesday morning, so we may deal with rain
chances for part of the day then too.

REST OF WEEK: If the frontal passage is delayed, clouds may hang tough on
Wednesday, but they should start clearing by Wednesday night. Then it looks
like we will be in for a fine run of weather through the weekend as high
pressure builds in. Lows will be in the 50s Thursday morning. Temperatures
will be near normal into the weekend under mostly sunny skies.

ON THIS DATE IN 1873: Father Benito Vines of the Royal College of Belen in
Havana, Cuba issued the first recorded hurricane warning on this date,
warning
of a severe hurricane that would strike the southern coast of Cuba. The
warning, given two days in advance of the storm, saved many lives. Vines
would become known as "Father Hurricane," and his contributions to the study
of hurricanes were invaluable.
