...Still Looking For Rain...

This article from the AP news wire here at ABC 33/40 pretty much sums
up our current weather situation:

Alabama's Senate delegation has asked US Agriculture Secretary Mike
Johanns to issue a disaster declaration for nineteen drought-stricken
counties in north Alabama. The request was made Tuesday by Republicans
Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby. In a statement, the two Senators
said farmers, cattlemen and consumers are "on the cusp of losing
everything." The disaster declaration is being sought for Blount,
Cherokee, Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Etowah, Franklin, Jackson,
Jefferson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Morgan,
Shelby, St. Clair, Walker and Winston counties.

As of today Birmingham's rain deficit for the year is 15.66", and the
rain deficiency in Tuscaloosa is an incredible 19.68". And,
unfortunately, the chance of widespread, beneficial rain continues to
look very small through the weekend. A few isolated showers or storms
could pop up during the heat of the day, especially over East Alabama,
but they will remain widely spaced and most communities will have no
significant rain through Sunday. Afternoons will remain hot, with high
temperatures in the 90 to 95 degree range. Some upper 90s could return
to West Alabama over the weekend.

DID YOU KNOW? 34.32" was the Birmingham rain total for the year 1904.
That was our driest year on record. Only 0.01" fell in all of October
and November. That is not enough to wet the pavement in eight whole
weeks during a time of the year that is typically very wet. 83.63
inches was the most rain ever in history for Birmingham during a
12-month period. That occurred from February 1961 through January
1962. There was a lot of flooding in Central Alabama in February 1961.

NEXT WEEK: We remain optimistic that Alabama will enjoy an increased
risk of showers and thunderstorms late Tuesday into Wednesday of next
week as rather vigorous cold front for mid to late June approaches
from the northwest. A nice upper trough supporting the front should
bring some Alabama communities over one inch of rain at that time.

AT THE BEACH: Expect about 8 to 10 hours of sunshine each day along
the central Gulf coast through the weekend, with highs in the upper
80s on the immediate coast. The sea water temperature at the Dauphin
Island Sea Lab last night was 86 degrees. And, still no sign of any
organized tropical storm activity across the Atlantic basin for the
next several days.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Hottest place in the nation yesterday was Death
Valley, CA with a sizzling 116 degrees. The high in Phoenix was 105.
Up in Alaska, the coldest spots yesterday morning were Deadhorse,
Barrow, Barter Island, and Nuiqsut with 30 degrees.
