...Happy Dad's Day...

I hope that you are having a relaxing and fun Father's Day 2007. The
weather is certainly no deterrent, unless you consider the fact that
we are under a Code Orange Air Quality Alert, or that temperatures are
running 5-6 degrees above normal for mid-June, putting the mercury in
the lower and middle 90s. Or that yard work is difficult because of
watering restrictions, and the grass probably isn't growing anyway.
But it does make for perfect weather for heading to the final day of
City Stages, the Magic City's world class music festival being held
downtown.

BORING RADAR: The radar should basically get the day off on this
Father's Day 2007. High pressure centered over the Southeast is
maintaining a firm hold on Alabama's weather. Skies will be mostly
this afternoon and fair overnight tonight. With a more southerly
trajectory off the Gulf of Mexico, our winds have been transporting
more moisture into the area, and dew points have crept up into the
middle 60s. We will see that measure of moisture edging closer to 70
degrees over the next couple of days, which could be good.

GOOD FOR RAIN: Or at least we hope. We are still guardedly
optimistic about our chances for rain come Tuesday and Wednesday.
Monday looks to be hot and dry again with mostly sunny skies and highs
in the lower and middle 90s again. We could see a few isolated
showers and storms tomorrow, but the chance of you seeing rain at your
location is about one in ten. Those chances should go up dramatically
on Tuesday with a trough approaching from the west. This weakness in
the atmosphere and a sagging cool frontal boundary will allow for the
development of fairly numerous showers and storms. We will keep our
fingers crossed that most areas will receive a half inch of rain on
Tuesday, with some lucky folks getting over one inch. Overnight and
morning runs of the GFS clearly move the boundary into South Alabama
on Wednesday, drying out North and Central Alabama. That is not good
news, as we were hoping to enjoy a couple of additional wet days with
a boundary handing around. There are hints at a low developing over
South Alabama late in the week, but that tends to help Georgia more
than us in the rain department.

GOODBYE MR. WIZARD: Did you notice where Don Herbert, known to many
of us Baby Boomers as Mr. Wizard passed away last week? His
television science experiment show probably did more to interest and
educated kids in science that anything else of our day. His show,
Watch Mr. Wizard premiered in 1951 and ran until 1965. Mr. Wizard's
World ran on Nickolodeon from 1983 until 2000, making it the longest
running show on the kids' channel. Mr. Wizard passed away on Tuesday
from multiple myeloma.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Talk about lowered property values. A weak
tornado touched down briefly in the town of Newry, ME. The main
damage was to about 200 trees. The interesting thing about the F1
tornado was that it struck the same piece of property that had been
visited by a tornado less than one year earlier.
