...Keeping Fingers Crossed For Rain...

Greetings out there across the parched countryside we call Alabama.
Drought weary residents, take heart. A trough of low pressure
approaching from the central part of the United States may bring us
our best chances for organized rainfall in quite some time, especially
tomorrow.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: Our surface high is located over the western
Atlantic this morning. A nice southerly flow has opened up the Gulf
of Mexico, and you can see it in the dew points, which have risen
several degrees over the weekend. In the mid levels of the atmosphere
a decent little trough of low pressure is over Oklahoma. This
weakness will allow for an increase in showers and storms today,
although they will still be scattered. Hopefully we saw some signs of
the changing situation with the showers and storms that fired over
South Central Alabama yesterday. We will see an increase in showers
overnight and a good chance of showers and storms over the state on
Tuesday.

DECENT RAINFALL? We are hoping that most areas will get close to an
inch of rain, although it is more likely that most places will see
between one half and one inch, with some higher amounts possible. A
front will drift southward across the area late Tuesday and should dry
us out for Wednesday, and take some of the humidity along with it.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: A Code Orange Air Quality Alert continues for
Jefferson and Shelby Counties today due to ozone. Things should
improve over the next three days.

END OF THE WEEK/WEEKEND: Isolated showers will slip back in Thursday
and Friday, especially over eastern sections. Isolated showers and
storms will be around for the weekend. We will watch for the
development of a week low over South Alabama late in the week that
could spell some good rains for southeastern sections of the area.
Hopefully, any such system might drift up into our neck of the woods
and give us the rain.

CHECK ON THE TROPICS: Nothing active in the Atlantic, the Gulf of
Mexico or the Caribbean sea and tropical cyclone formation is not
expected in the foreseeable future.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: After spending 14 days meandering across the
southern United States, Allison, the costliest tropical storm in
United States history finally moved off the East Coast. Allison
dumped flooding rain along her entire path from the devastated Houston
area where she made landfall on the 5th of June, across the Southeast,
Mid Atlantic and finally into Massachusetts. Thirty five fatalities
would be attributed to the Allison, along with preliminary damage
estimates of $2.5 billion.
