...The Drought Rolls Along...

We are getting into that time of the year when you really can't rule
out a brief shower or thunderstorm on a daily basis during the
afternoon and evening hours (generally from 2:00 until 10:00 p.m.).
The combination of moist, maritime tropical air and the afternoon heat
produces buoyancy, and some of those rising air parcels develop into
showers and storms. These airmass showers and storms usually form in
random places, and they tend to be widely spaced. This kind of
precipitation certainly won't break the back of a big drought like we
are experiencing, but that is about it for our rain chances for the
next five to seven days.

TEMPS TRENDING UPWARD: We expect a slow increase in heat levels across
Alabama during the rest of the week; we will be in the low to mid 90s
by Friday and the weekend, and if you factor in the higher dewpoints
we expect the heat index to hover around 100 degrees, especially over
the western third of the state. Nights will be warmer as well; most
communities will not drop below 70 Thursday through Sunday. Welcome to
summer in Alabama.

TROPICAL UPDATE: We are now five days into the 2007 hurricane season
for the Atlantic basin, and for now the weather is quiet and tropical
storm formation is not expected through mid-week. Long range computer
guidance shows no hints of any tropical storm activity in or near the
Gulf of Mexico for the next 10 to 15 days. Buoy 42056, near the
Yucatan Channel, is showing a sea surface temperature of 84 degrees
(as of late last night), very favorable for tropical trouble. But, the
SST (sea surface temperature) is only 79 degrees at the Dauphin Island
Sea Lab, along the Alabama coast.

BYE BYE BARRY: The remnant circulation that used to be Tropical Storm
Barry, is moving northward through Maine this morning with a
diminishing threat of flooding. The storm dropped 3.91" at New York
City's Central Park, and 2.15" at New Haven, CT.

DROUGHT MONITOR: An extreme drought continues for much of North and
Central Alabama, north of a line from Butler to Prattville to
Lafayette. At the Birmingham International Airport, where the records
are kept, the total for the year remains at 10.28", and the rain
deficit for the year is now 15.50". The National Weather Service at
Huntsville reports this was their driest spring on record (the months
of March, April, and May) with only 5.18" recorded.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: The Desert Southwest continues to heat up;
the high yesterday in Phoenix was 108 degrees. The hottest spot was
Death Valley, CA with 114. Our own Brian Peters is enjoying some time
up in Chicago, where the high yesterday was a comfortable 71 degrees.
Bill Murray of our staff has been in Boston, where yesterday's high
was only 60 degrees. The remnant circulation of Tropical Storm Barry
brought 1.52" to Bean Town.
