...Hurricane Season off to fast start...

Predictions of a busy North Atlantic Hurricane Season appear to be on
track with the second named storm of the year already on the books by
June 1. That has happened only twice in recorded North Atlantic
hurricane records, in 1887 and 1908. According to my database, there
were 17 named storms in 1887, but only 8 in 1908. There are a couple
of caveats. Andrea certainly would not have been a named storm and
most likely Barry might not have been.

TROPICAL STORM BARRY: Our suite of modern weather prophets, the
global forecasting models, has been trying to conjure up something
tropical in the Gulf or western Caribbean for a couple of weeks. It
finally came true on Friday as the NHC started issuing advisories on
Tropical Storm Barry in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The storm
almost was christened as a subtropical storm, save for a flare up of
convection near the center right before advisory time. By the time
you read this, Barry will be about 200 miles off the West Coast of
Florida, embedded in a strong southwesterly flow that will steer it to
the Big Bend area of Florida. The storm will lose the little tropical
characteristics that it has and move up the East Coast as a
significant low pressure system. But not before dumping 3-6 inches
and up to ten inches of rain in some locations across the Peninsula
and southern Georgia. Hopefully this will extinguish the wildfires. I
believe Barry will be a godsend because of this.

HOW ABOUT SOME RAIN FOR US? A few spots got rain yesterday across
the area. But the storms were widely scattered in nature. You can
expect more of that today, with a few storms firing during the
afternoon. If you are lucky enough to get underneath one, you can
expect heavy rain and lots of lightning. Now tomorrow, an upper level
disturbance is forecast to push towards Alabama. As it does, this
will enhance our shower and storm chances on Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: We will find ourselves in a more west to east upper level
flow next week. This will open up the possibility of a few
disturbances bringing a chance of showers and storms from time to
time, but again no drought busting rains for us in the foreseeable
future.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: An F2 tornado cut a seven mile path through
London KY, hitting the downtown area and a shopping mall hard.
According to eyewitnesses, the tornado remained stationery over the
parking lot of the shopping mall for as long as four minutes! A huge
chunk of pavement from the parking lot was removed and blown over 100
feet. The tornado also struck a baseball complex. Teams hid in the
concession stand and one in a dugout, where parents shielded their
little leaguers with their bodies. Only ten injuries resulted, none
of them life threatening.
