GOOD AFTERNOON: It seems like we just stopped talking about Tropical Storm Zeta. Zeta. And now, just ten days into the 2007 season, we are already talking about the likelihood of out first tropical storm.

ALBERTO: Tropical depression number one formed about 8 a.m. this morning in an area of disturbed weather over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Deep convection bloomed this morning, but the system is still disorganized. But it is over some 32.5C (85F) ocean water so the potential is there for strengthening. Upper level wind conditions over the system are marginally favorable for intensification, so the National Hurricane Center is calling for the system to become a tropical storm later today.

The future track of Alberto is a little more uncertain than usual with lots of factors still coming into focus. The GFS and the GFDL models both carry it into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, turning it gradually north northeastward and taking it to a landfall around midnight Monday night in the Florida Big Bend area north of Tampa. It would then exit the coast of northeastern Florida and hug the coast offshore of Savannah and Charleston, pass off the Outer Banks and then it races northeastward to east of the Canadian Maritimes Thursday morning. The NAM carries a much weaker low into the western Gulf where is meanders around at midweek.

Despite fairly strong wind shear over the Gulf, the official forecast strengthens Alberto to a a strong tropical storm (about 50 mph) before landfall in Florida. After it exits Florida, it will intensify again, but should lose tropical characteristics as it leaves the coast. It should quickly lose tropical characteristics over cooler water but it is destined to become a significant storm as it accelerates northeastward into the North Atlantic.

IMPACTS ON GULF COAST: Based on a forecast track that carries the storm northeastward into the Florida coast near Cedar Key, the impact to the vacation areas of Alabama and Northwest Florida should be minimal. The area around Panama City could see increasing clouds and a chance of showers Sunday afternoon into Monday. It may become quite breezy by Sunday afternoon and evening, especially over the eastern Florida Panhandle. Rip currents may become an increasing problem as winds build seas over the eastern Gulf late tomorrow into Monday. So swimmers should pay close attention to surf conditions and beach warning flags.

OUR FORECAST: Hot conditions will continue through tomorrow. Fair skies today will give way to partly cloudy skies on Sunday. Today should be rain free, and there is only a tiny chance tomorrow. Rain chances will increase slight on Monday as a front approaches from the north. The front slides through Monday night, but influences from the tropical cyclone passing to our south will lead to clouds and showers over eastern and southeastern sections Tuesday. Drier air should filter into North and Central Alabama behind the system, giving us normal temperatures and dry conditions through the end of the week and likely into the weekend. . We will be under the influence of a northwesterly flow aloft so a storm complex or two could come our way.

...Hot And Dry...

GOOD MORNING: One week ago, we were talking about the possibility of a tropical depression forming in the area of the western Caribbean. That area of disturbed weather has been percolating all week and by the time you read this, the first tropical depression of the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season will likely have formed. More about that in a moment.

ANOTHER HOT ONE: Temperatures on Friday were quite warm to downright hot across the area. Look for temperatures today to be 2-3 degrees hotter than yesterday, with most locations in the lower to middle 90s. Skies will be mostly sunny. There is just a tiny chance of a storm today, and just a slightly better chance tomorrow. Temperatures tomorrow will be in the middle 90s across much of the area.

MONDAY AND THE WEEK AHEAD: A front should approach the area from the north on Monday, giving us a chance for isolated storms. Behind that front, we will experience slightly drier air with temperatures more near normal for much of the week ahead. High pressure will set up shop over the Ohio Valley, keeping a watchful eye on our fine weather pattern through midweek. By Thursday, the high will be far enough east to allow a southerly flow to return. Moisture levels will be on the increase by then and perhaps we will see a more regular pattern of diurnal showers and storms.

ALBERTO: We may have the first tropical storm of the Atlantic season later today. It will be named Alberto. Look for it to make landfall north of Tampa on Monday as a strong tropical storm. It will cross the Florida Panhandle moving offshore of the coast of the Carolinas, passing east of Cape Cod and perhaps to the Canadian Maritimes by midweek. The GFDL suggests it could become a hurricane.

ON THIS DATE IN 1958: A woman in El Dorado, Kansas was sucked through the window of her house by a tornado and blown sixty feet. She landed beside a broken phonograph record, entitled appropriately: “Stormy Weather.” Researchers at the National Severe Storms Laboratory were studying the violent tornado with a primitive Doppler radar called a continuous wave radar. As they did, they viewed the first tornadic velocity signature.

==================================================================

TROPICS A BIT NERVOUS: There are increasing indications that some type of tropical situation may be getting its act together over the NW Caribbean. A low pressure area has formed a couple of hundred miles east of the Yucatan. It is fairly close to land and winds upstairs are marginally conducive for additional development. A tropical depression could still form in the next day or so as it moves slowly northward. The NHC is considering sending a reconnaissance aircraft into the area Saturday afternoon.

The projected path? Depends on which model you prefer. I have looked at so many today that my eyes look like a Manhattan street map. One model veers it over into the West Gulf; still another one lets it mosey toward the north in the general direction of the Louisiana-Mississippi coast. The most favored scenario seems to be a possible landfall in North Florida a couple of hundred miles or so north of Tampa about Tuesday and moving across the peninsula into the Atlantic and moving up the east coast. That far out means that nothing is sealed in stone. If that happens, it will keep Alabama in dry weather. Projected rainfall from this storm is as high as 8 to 9 inches across parts of North-Central Florida. If this system does develop into a tropical storm, the name will be Alberto. The sea surface temperature is 83 across most of the Caribbean and 82 in the Bay of Campeche. Now let’s go back to...

SWEET (DRY) HOME ALABAMA: Very little chance of rain over the next few days. We do not expect any Saturday. Any that show up on Sunday would be
very scarce and only a small risk on Monday. We need to post a watch at the Tennessee border just in case a family of thunderstorms migrates southward from the Midwest in the prevailing NW wind flow aloft. If the scenario with the possible tropical development turns out, it would cause the winds across
North Alabama to become northerly on Tuesday and drop our humidity a bit. Meanwhile, look for temperatures near and just above 90 for the next 3 days.

THE WHITE SANDS OF ALABAMA: Best we can tell now, the weekend looks good along the Alabama-Northwest Florida coast with more sun than clouds and
only a slight chance of a shower or storm each day. Highs around 88 at the water’s edge and 92 to 95 not far inland.

WAY FAR AWAY: 112 in Death Valley was the hottest Thursday...33 at Redmond, Oregon was the chilliest this morning...Baton Rouge has received only 11 inches of rain so far this year compared to 30.36 in Birmingham. Baton Rouge is almost 18 inches below normal and New Orleans almost 15 inches...in Iraq, high temperatures will be between 112 and 118 for the next 4 to 5 days.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Too much on my plate yesterday and today and there was no ballgame with Little Miss Molly. She seems semi-peeved this afternoon and is sleeping most of the day. She clearly knows she is being cheated with playtime. For sure, I will make it up to her tomorrow with a full 9-inning game...she has turned a bit mischievous again lately. She got in the clothes closet and extracted some innersoles from some shoes. She also got into my wife’s purse and stole her glasses and sunglasses. Fortunately we caught her before any damage...maybe that is her way of silently protesting that she is not getting enough attention. Life goes on.

DOWNTOWN DRAMA: The new ABC 33/40 skycam network sure had some drama today.
A major downtown warehouse fire was vividly captured on the skycam mounted
atop the Compass Bank downtown. The smoke could also be seen in the distance
from the Inverness site.
NOW TO THE WEATHER: It is heating up and the chance of rain does
not look good at all for the next several days. A cluster of thunderstorms
in Illinois and Indiana moved due south overnight causing a number of
damaging wind reports and hail in Kentucky. A couple of those showers
survived long enough to give 0.11 of an inch of rain to Huntsville. It
finally fizzled in West Alabama.
We think there will be a slight chance of a shower or a thunderstorm
late Sunday and a slightly better chance next Tuesday. Probably our better
chance will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Meanwhile, look for high temperatures
90 to 92 for the next several days.
IN THE TROPICS: Getting a bit more interesting. A broad surface low
pressure area was located near Belize today creating lots of clouds and
showers over the NW Caribbean, the Eastern Yucatan and West Cuba. Several
weather models projects this system to move north or NW to NW of the Yucatan
Peninsula and then into the SW or Central Gulf. Way too early to tell if
this will be Alberto. Sea surface temperatures are becoming more favorable
over the Southern Gulf, but winds aloft are not so. At buoy no. 42003 300
land miles south of Panama City, the water temperature was 83.5 today. It
was 82 over the NE Gulf, but only 78.6 off Panama City Beach.
AT THE BEACH: It is going to be fairly hot through the weekend with
highs near 92 a few miles inland, but if you stay near the water's edge, it
will be more like 88. The risk of a shower or thunderstorm is very small, at
least through Sunday.
PROWLING AROUND THE COUNTRY: That big NE coastal storm was still
giving rain to New England today, but not as much wind. This storm has
dumped 6.80 inches of rain at East Falmouth in Eastern Massachusetts. Boston
got 3 inches. Remember, this is the same region of the country that had
massive flooding not long ago...113 in Death Valley was the USA hotspot
Wednesday...37 at Lake Tahoe was the coolest this morning, so that means
that both the high and low were in California. One of the lowest
temperatures I could find on the entire North American Continent was 20 at
Alert in extreme Northern Canada.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our newly married oldest granddaughter
and her husband visited us last night and Molly was in hog heaven. She has
always loved Sara, but we try to keep her from becoming a pest. I sometimes
call Molly "Miss Personality," because I have never seen a dog that is so
glad to see any human being. She will greet a deliveryman like she has known
him forever. When my wife found Molly at Layton, Utah, she said Molly was
the same way then as a very small puppy. She kept jumping up in her cage
wanting people to notice her. That is one reason that my wife chose Molly.
You can bet I am very happy that Little Miss Molly showed so much enthusiasm
in her little cage in Layton, Utah on that particular day. I would never
have had the pleasure of being the little girl's pal. Life goes on. She has
meant $Millions to me. - J. B. Elliott

...Heat Cranks Up A Notch...

Dry and progressively warmer weather is the Alabama weather story. The
chance of any significant rain looks very small through Saturday as warmer
air aloft makes for a rather stable atmosphere. And, the warming trend
continues. We expect most spots to reach the upper 80s today, followed by
low 90s tomorrow and through the weekend. Looks for lots of sunshine on a
daily basis with only scattered clouds.

By Sunday, a few widely scattered showers or storms could show up as
slightly colder air aloft makes for a more unstable atmosphere. The chance
of scattered afternoon showers and storms will increase a bit early next
week with a weak front approaching from the north.

WE NEED RAIN: Birmingham has measured only .84" of rain since May 10, and
most of that (.63") fell on one day (June 2). Water conservation rules are
now being implemented in some Alabama communities, like Alabaster.

FIRE DANGER: These dry conditions, combined with lower than normal humidity
values during the daytime hours, will mean a high fire danger for Alabama
over the next few days. Be extremely careful if you are doing any outdoor
burning, and postpone it if possible.

AT THE BEACH: Lots of sunshine for the Alabama/Northwest Florida Gulf coast
through Saturday. Highs in the upper 80s, with sea water temperatures near
80.

A JUNE CHILL: A strong low pressure area off the New England Coast is
bringing real foul weather to that region of the country. Late yesterday,
Logan Airport in Boston reported visibility only 1/2 mile in heavy rain, 54
degrees, with winds out of the NE gusting to 45 mph. Offshore, the Boston
Buoy was reporting 11-foot waves.

BEGGING FOR RAIN: But not much chance for the next several days as
warmer and drier air aloft tends to cut off shower and thunderstorm
activity. Our only hope is for some stray thunderstorms to come down out of
the Midwest in the NW flow aloft and approach us from the north. Could see
just a few of those over extreme North Alabama late today and this evening.
Otherwise, we are leaving them out of the forecast until Sunday. Even then,
the risk is very low. We believe our better chance of getting some showers
and storms will be about Monday and Tuesday of next week.

IN THE TROPICS: Some strong thunderstorms were moving off the west
coast of Africa, but it would be unusual for tropical development this
early. The Eastern Atlantic sea surface temperatures are normally relatively
cool early in the season. The Gulf of Mexico is calm and collected. It is
interesting to note that one of our two most used weather models is showing
a closed low pressure area over the Yucatan by late Saturday with pouring
rain over the NW Caribbean and the Yucatan. Our other most trusted model is
not thinking that way.

A ROLLING WALL OF DUST: It happened yesterday afternoon in Southern
Arizona. My wife, who grew up in Phoenix, has seen it many times. We were
visiting further north in Cottonwood, Arizona once and a late afternoon wall
of dust moved in from the south with winds to about 60 mph. Yesterday there
was scattered wind damage over a good part of Southern Arizona and the
sudden wall of dust dropped the visibility to zero in only seconds.

SEVERE WEATHER: A slight risk for this afternoon and tonight from
West and Middle Tennessee north through Kentucky, Indiana and West Ohio.
Also for the Northern Plains, Northern Rockies and the east part of
Washington and Oregon.

DATELINE HATTIESBURG: That South Mississippi city was hard hit by
Katrina last summer with literally thousands of trees uprooted. Now it is
extremely dry there and all of those fallen trees and brush is rich fuel for
wildfires. They have received only 15 inches of rain all year and normal, as
of today, is over 30 inches. Only a sprinkle so far in June. Mobile is also
very short on rainfall. Their 2006 total is 13.76 inches-a deficiency of
16.49!

LIGHTNING IS FRIGHTENING: Florida leads the U. S. in lightning
deaths and injuries. Lightning kills about 100 people across the USA each
year. In the period 1995-2004, Alabama had 18 lightning deaths ranking 6 in
the nation. Florida had 85-the number 1 rank.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I may have to rename Little Miss Molly
to Little Miss Columbo or Miss Sherlock. She is a true detective at heart.
Out
very early this morning in the cool of the morning, the first thing she did
was stop in an area of crabgrass and patiently sniff the entire length of 22
blades of grass. I counted them. Someone reminded me that might be her
method of receiving e-mail. Molly and I sure had a nice walk. On the way
back, she saw Lisa and Bridgette come up on the walking track. Molly forced
me to turn around and go back and meet them. They are both Shih-tzus and
really like each other...just enough breeze to quiver the leaves on the Old
Crow Motel reminding me of the aspen trees in the Rockies. They are commonly
known as quaking aspen, because the least bit of wind will make them quiver
in the bright sunlight that creates a beautiful scene, especially in autumn
when the aspen turn brilliant yellow. We finally heard two old crows
yesterday for the first time in several weeks. We miss them, but life goes
on.

your excavation and the member utility companies will send out someone to
mark their facilities free of charge.

...Storms Late Today Will Be Isolated...

We will introduce a chance of isolated showers and storms for Alabama this
afternoon and tonight as a disturbance glides down the back side of the
upper air trough over the eastern U.S. With only limited moisture, rainfall
amounts should be fairly spotty. But, a few stronger storms could develop
over the northern third of the state.

Any showers tomorrow should be over the southern half of the state, and
those showers should be very widely spaced.

WARMER DAYS: Temperatures will be creeping upward in coming days. We expect
mid 80s today, with upper 80s tomorrow and Friday. By the time the weekend
arrives, an upper air high will be overhead, which should mean high in the
low 90s on Saturday and Sunday.

The warmer air aloft associated with the upper ridge should keep a lid on
most afternoon showers and storms that try to develop this weekend; the
chance of any one spot getting wet should be very small.

AT THE BEACH: The weather should be very nice along the Alabama and
Northwest Florida Gulf Coast for the next five days, with ample sunshine on
a daily basis and only isolated showers and storms. Highs will be in the mid
to upper 80s along the immediate coast, and the sea water temperature at
Panama City is running at 78 degrees (as of late last night).

The Gulf of Mexico is rather quiet, and tropical storm formation is not
expected in the region through the weekend.

DUSTY DAYS: Areas of dense blowing dust are likely in the Phoenix area over
the next few afternoons as "dry thunderstorms" develop across the desert.
Yesterday's high in Phoenix was a toasty 108 degrees.

THERMOMETER GOING UPWARD: Indeed a nice unseasonably cool start to
June 6, but the old thermometer is getting wise and will start back up to
more normal-like early June temperatures. In fact, we may see some 90-degree
weather by this weekend.

We do have another pleasant night ahead as temperatures fall to near
60 with the valley locations dropping to at least the upper 50s. We must
pause for a moment for three cheers for this morning's low temperatures:

45 in Black Creek (NE Etowah County)
46 in Heflin
47 in Crossville and DeSoto State Park
49 in Hamilton, Munford, Cottondale
50 in Ft. Payne, Cullman, Gadsden, Wedowee
51 in Pinson, Anniston and Troy
52 in Tuscaloosa, Alexander City, Alabaster
53 in Jasper

A DRY PERIOD? Those old weather models have changed their mind
somewhat and are downplaying much chance of rain for Central Alabama for the
next several days. A cluster of showers and thunderstorms that moved
southward from Missouri and Arkansas overnight should miss us to the west as
they diminish. However, we think there will be a slight chance of some
showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening. The conditions
aloft will become more favorable for higher temperatures in Alabama over the
next several days.

THE SUMMER OF 2006: Wish we could tell you what kind of summer we
will have. We sure hope we don't have a prolonged heat wave, which we
occasionally have, and a long dry spell. We don't wish that on anyone in the
country. In 1995, a July heat wave caused the deaths of over 700 people in
Chicago and the temperature topped out at 106 at Midway Airport.

SEVERE WEATHER: The Storm Prediction Center has a broad area from
East Oklahoma and Arkansas northward to Minnesota under a slight risk this
afternoon and tonight. For Wednesday, the slight risk area covers the north
parts of Louisiana and Mississippi north to Indiana and Ohio.

WANDERING AROUND: 118 in Death Valley was the hottest Monday...31
this morning in Stanley, Idaho and at Lake Yellowstone in Yellowstone
National Park was the chilliest...25 was Alaska's coldest at Eagle...it was
on this date in 1916 that a major tornado outbreak occurred in Arkansas and
Mississippi. 125 persons were killed with 83 of those at Warren, Arkansas.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is not unusual for me to get an
e-mail that brings me back to reality and makes me ever so thankful to have
Little
Miss Molly by my side. Monday this is a note that I got from Mary Lackey in
Anniston. She said, "Go ahead and keep telling everyone to love and enjoy
their pets and to be thankful for every day they have with them. I came home
yesterday to find my little Pomeranian named Buttons had passed away while I
was at work. It is a terrible thing to know that this happened to him and I
wasn't there to hold and comfort him at the end. I am so thankful for the 8
wonderful years we had together. I only wish we could have had so many more.
Thanks for letting me share my story and you are welcome to use it,
especially if it will make even one pet owner think twice and love their pet
a little bit extra every day. Give Little Miss Molly an extra special hug
for me." I could not help but think of Buttons last night as Molly and I
were having a long ballgame, especially when I took her into bed late at
night. I am very lucky and ever so thankful. Life goes on.

...Another Pleasant June Day...

Another spectacular summer day is ahead for Alabama today, with ample sunshine and low humidity levels for June. After a cool morning, we should wind up in the mid 80s this afternoon.

A disturbance approaching from the northwest will bring the chance of scattered showers and storms back to the state tomorrow. It won’t rain all day, and rainfall distribution will be very uneven. Then, on Thursday, we will hang onto the chance of a few showers mainly during the morning as the impulse moves into southeast Alabama during the day. By Thursday afternoon, most of the showers and storms should be south of I-20.

Any showers on Friday should be very isolated as warmer air aloft moves in from the west, making the air most stable.

WEEKEND PEEK: For now we expect mostly dry weather over the weekend, with only isolated afternoon and evening storms. Temperatures will be back into the “hot” range, with afternoon highs between 88 and 92.

TROPICS: A broad trough of low pressure continues over the northwest Caribbean, and northeastward into the Atlantic. Upper air winds are fairly strong over that area, and tropical storm formation is not expected this week. Remember, the peak of the season comes later, in August, September, and early October, when the ocean waters are very warm, and waves coming off the coast of Africa have the chance to develop over the long path westward.

BLISTERING HEAT: Some big time heat continues in the southwest deserts of the U.S. The national hot spot yesterday was Death Valley, CA with 118 degrees. Phoenix reported a high of 111, while Las Vegas soared to 107. Temperatures will slowly back down out there in coming days.

NICE FOR EARLY JUNE: Today is a red letter day (no, make that a hot
letter day) for Birmingham. It is the earliest in history dating back to
1885, that we have officially recorded 100 degrees. It happened on June 5 in
1985. That should make us appreciate even more today's weather. So, let us
continue to celebrate some early morning low temperatures.

52 in Crossville and Rock Mills
53 in DeSoto State Park and Black Creek
54 at Ft. Payne Airport
55 in Pinson, Jasper and at Cullman Airport
56 in Ashville and Hamilton
57 at Talladega
58 at Helena, Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Clanton
59 at Birmingham, Decatur, Albertville, Alex City

After Sunday's semi-illegal thunderstorms moved through, drier air
moved in overnight giving us lots of sunshine today and we will experience
more cool temperatures tonight. It is not totally out of the question for
some of the North Alabama valleys to cool to 49 or 50 tonight.

Down the road, lots of sunshine again Tuesday but some scattered
showers and thunderstorms will occur Wednesday, Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. Latest evidence points to dry weather for Friday and Saturday.
Still no sign of any real hot weather.

AT THE BEACH: Highs consistently will be 85 to 88 through Friday,
but about 3 degrees cooler within a mile or so of the beach. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms for Wednesday and Thursday, but thinning out
greatly on Friday.

IN THE TROPICS: A broad low pressure area was over the NW Caribbean
and extended NE across Central Cuba into the Central Bahamas. Winds upstairs
do not support tropical storm development at this time.

SEVERE WEATHER: Several minor wind damage reports from North
Alabama Sunday afternoon. Probably the most significant one was numerous
trees uprooted along US-278 across Central Cullman County...a slight risk of
severe weather this afternoon and tonight from Oklahoma northward to
Minnesota and North Dakota. Within that is a moderate risk area over the
east 2/3 of Kansas.

WAR ZONE WEATHER: Highs in Baghdad all this week will be mostly 110
to 115 112 to 116 in Basrah. Dry weather with the usual very low humidity.

ROAMING: Phoenix is having a tough time with heat with 105 to 110
the next couple of days with blowing dust in the evening when isolated and
often dry thunderstorms develop...119 in Death Valley was the hottest
yesterday...lows this morning 32 in Stanley, Idaho and 19 at Anaktuvuk Pass,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Got real busy with thunderstorms
Sunday afternoon, but when they had ended, Little Miss Molly made it
perfectly clear that she was expecting some time with me. On our afternoon
walk, she was very insistent on taking all the time she wanted and I thought
we would never get back home. The temperature had cooled off nicely, so her
little tongue wasn't hanging out when we got back. That made her extra
insistent on a ballgame of world series importance. I did not think she
would ever stop chasing the balls. Life goes on.

...Sunny Monday...

GOOD MORNING: Northwesterly flows in the upper atmosphere over Alabama can
be problematic. You would think they would deliver only cool, stable air.
But they frequently spit evil little disturbances our way. Sometimes, those
disturbances can produce big, hulking thunderstorm complexes. One such
complex passed to our north yesterday and last night. It gave North Alabama
some severe weather, but it weakened before the main activity got down into
Central Alabama.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: High pressure should maintain a tenuously hold on our
weather near the surface today and tomorrow. Temperatures will warm nicely,
rising into the middle and upper 80s.

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: A fairly potent disturbance and attendant surface low
will ride down the backside of the trough on the northwest flow by
Wednesday, spread clouds, rain and thunderstorms into Alabama. I don't
think that the activity will be widespread or very heavy, but there is a
fairly good chance most people will see precipitation.

Those showers look like they may continue into Thursday, and a slight chance
of showers and storms may continue into Friday and Saturday, but conditions
will be more summerlike by then.

ON THIS DATE IN 1976: The Teton Dam in Idaho had just been completed when a
leak appeared on June 3, 1976. Despite the leak, there seemed to be no
cause for alarm. The reservoir was filled with runoff from a winter of
heavy snows. On the morning of June 5th,the leak worsened. Engineers knew
they were in trouble when a whirlpool formed behind the dam. Water was now
escaping rapidly through the earthen dam. Warnings to evacuate were
frantic. The hole widened until the entire dam crumbled sending 180 billion
gallons of water pouring down the Teton River Canyon. The towns of
Wilford, Sugar City and Rexburg were inundated. Eleven people died, but the
toll could have been much worse if the disaster had occurred at night.

==================================================================

GREETINGS FROM CHARLOTTE: This report is coming to you from the road.
Flying today to New York City. The next report you receive will be from
Gotham late tonight. It is a busman's holiday for me this week, with a
series of meetings in Manhattan through Tuesday afternoon. Then it is play
time through Thursday with several fun activities planned.

Up early Wednesday and head to a real NYC breakfast at Viand's on the Upper
East Side and on to the Natural History Museum. I have never stopped by the
Dakota, where John Lennon was killed, and I plan to do that. Then across
Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum. Grab a quick lunch on the patio at
the Boathouse and over to the Frick for some more art. Then a quick change
and the Broadway production Spamalot at the Shubert. Drop in Sardi's maybe
and then a late dinner at Marseilles.

A Thursday morning trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty (or
Statute of Liberty as Kramer on Seinfeld calls it.) Then a walk across the
Brooklyn Bridge and real coal fired New York Style Pizza at Totonno's in
Brooklyn. A quick walk through Chinatown and Little Italy, then over to the
U.N. Then a walk up 42nd street to Grand Central. Maybe some Oysters
Rockefeller at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central. Then it is the Number 6
train to 161st street and the ultimate baseball experience, the Yankees and
Red Sox in Yankee Stadium. Fit in dinner at Tamarind and the Empire State
Building in there somewhere and it will be a fun time.

A FEW SHOWERS/STORMS: Turns out the NAM was right in the model battle. A
few showers and storms were popping up over Central Alabama this afternoon.
They will continue into the overnight hours. Stronger storms were in
Tennessee, poised to move into the Tennessee Valley. Temperatures had
risen into the middle to upper 80s in most locations, helping to trigger the
storms. The showers and storms were a bit of a surprise, as most of us had
put our stock in the drier GFS for this afternoon and tonight.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Northwesterly flow situations can be kind of sneaky at
times, so surprises are not out of the question. It is pretty certain that
a couple of disturbances will be spit at us. The main one appears to
approach on Wednesday, bringing with it a chance of showers and storms. It
looks like those showers and storms may be with us through Thursday. I had
hoped we would be able to call for dry weather on Friday and Saturday, but
it looks like scattered showers and thunderstorms might be in the offing.

TROPICS: There is a disturbance over the western Caribbean. It should move
north over Cuba and the Bahamas. The Hurricane Center does not expect it to
undergo "significant development, but I would not be surprised if a tropical
depression did form.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: Major 4 day storm in New England brings 14 inches of
rainfall to southern Connecticut. 23 dams were breached and 2 failed. $276
million in damage resulted from the flooding.

...Beautiful Sunday...

GOOD MORNING! Saturday was a beautiful day across Alabama. There were
just a few stratocumulus clouds across the area behind a cold front, but
they did little to limit the amount of sunshine. Temperatures were in the
middle 80s for the most part. Some high cirrostratus clouds overspread the
area late in the day, but mostly clear skies continued overnight.

TODAY: A crisp, clear Alabama morning greets the dawn on this Sunday
morning. Skies are clear, with just a little fog here and there. Expect
lots of sunshine through mid-morning with more stratocumulus clouds
developing later. Partly cloudy skies will continue through the day.
Temperatures will top out in the middle 80s.

TONIGHT: A few clouds will hang around through the overnight hours as a
disturbance passes to the northeast of Alabama. Temperatures will fall into
the upper 50 to lower 60s in most locations again.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: We will start the work week just like the weekend with a
dry northwesterly flow aloft. A few clouds will overspread the sky from
time to time as disturbances zip by, but precipitation looks unlikely.
Temperatures will gradually warm up a couple of degrees each day, rising
through the middle and upper 80s.

WEDNESDAY: Clouds will increase on Wednesday ahead of a disturbance that
will cross the state. A few showers and maybe a thunderstorm will accompany
the system.

REST OF THE WEEK: The persistent trough of low pressure over the eastern
half of the country will gradually lift out allowing a ridge of high
pressure to build over Alabama in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This
should guarantee partly cloudy weather for the rest of the week with warm
temperatures. We should get through much of the weekend dry, but moisture
levels will be on the increase by Sunday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1814: A swarm of tornadoes across southern Illinois,
southern Indiana and nothern Kentucky. Famous naturalist James Aubudon
observed one of the tornadoes at close range as he traveled near Morganfield
KY.
