...No Real Relief In Sight...

As has happened so many time over the past few months, anytime that we
see signs that we might see an enhanced chance of showers or storms,
something comes along to squash our hopes. We have been hanging our
hats for the past couple of days on an increasingly moist and unstable
airmass. But just as that looks like a plausible weather solution,
building high pressure to our east seems to blot out the chances.
Alabama will continue on the fringe of the strong high pressure over
the western Atlantic, with abundant moisture flowing into places that
don't need any more rain. Places like Louisiana and Arkansas.
Couldn't we just borrow a couple of cups?

CODE ORANGE AIR QUALITY ALERT: Jefferson and Shelby Counties will be
under a Code Orange Air Quality Alert today, and probably again on
Sunday thanks to Ozone. This is your excuse not to cut the grass this
weekend. Try to reduce driving. Sensitive individuals should limit
outdoor exposure and curtail activities.

SEARCHING FOR SHOWERS: A dry airmass covers Alabama this morning. A
weak frontal boundary is to our north. A low over the Carolinas will
allow the boundary to slip south as a backdoor front, but it should
have little effect on our weather. Highs this afternoon and tomorrow
will average around 96 degrees. Moisture levels will begin to
increase tonight as an upper low to the west of Alabama begins to spin
up. It will turn out to be a battle between the weakness to the west
and the strong ridge to the east. Look for a few isolated storms to
form on Sunday, into Sunday night. Isolated storms will be around
through midweek, forming during the afternoons and evenings. It
appears that the ridging will win out as far as Alabama goes, with the
best chances for significant daily showers and storms over Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi.

END OF THE WEEK: By Thursday and Friday, a trough of low pressure
will begin to form over the eastern United States. As It does, with
will allow a cold front to push southward. It is difficult to get our
hopes up for much in the way of rainfall, although if this situation
does materialize, we will see a good chance of showers and storms next
weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

ON THIS DATE IN 1972: Massive flooding was underway in parts of
Pennsylvania, the result of a three day deluge caused by the remnants
of Hurricane Agnes. Several mid-Atlantic states were affected, but
Pennsylvania ended up being the hardest hit state with $2.1 billion in
damages and 48 deaths. The damage was so extreme; President Richard
Nixon declared the entire state a disaster area. Agnes is retired
from the Atlantic list of names.
