...Refreshing For July...

We got to a refreshing start across the area this morning, with low
60s common over North and Central Alabama. Throw in a few 50s in
places, like 55 at Vinemont, 57 at Crossville, Fort Payne and DeSoto
State Park, and 59 at Decatur and Pinson and its makes for a nice
morning.

THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT: The presence of a trough of low pressure
over eastern Alabama, extending up through Northwest Georgia and into
southeastern Tennessee makes us wary for the possibility of a few
isolated thunderstorms east of I-65 today. Radar was already
verifying the hunch earlier this morning with morning storms over
North Georgia. The best chance should be over Southeast Alabama,
where the moisture is more plentiful.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The story of the week ahead will be an large upper
low that is getting its act together over the Mid Atlantic states
today. This low will tighten and rotate back to the northwest through
tomorrow. It looks like it might pick Ohio as its temporary state of
residency. This will allow for a southwesterly flow over Alabama and
the South, which will allow moisture to return to the area. Those
dewpoints will already be coming back up to near seasonal levels
tomorrow. The combination of the increased moisture and the trough
hanging around eastern sections will produce scattered showers and
storms developing tomorrow. Tuesday looks like more of the same, with
more being the operative word, and hence a better chance of storms
then. Carbon copy on Wednesday and Thursday, and then it looks like
we might see even better rain chances as we head into the weekend.

WEEKEND: Showers and storms will be fairly likely by Friday and be
on the numerous side on Saturday and Sunday. There are signs that
this could be setting the stage for a week of high rain chances by the
following week.

TROPICS: A tropical wave north of the Greater Antilles is interacting
with an upper level low, producing numerous thunderstorms. Wind shear
will relax a bit today, allowing for some development, but chances
don't look good for a tropical depression to form as it drifts moves
north. A low has formed off the coast of North Carolina as predicted,
and it will move up the coast toward New England, but tropical
development is unlikely.

ON THIS DATE IN 1893: Father Benito Vines, a Jesuit priest at the
Royal College of Belen in Havana died on this date after a
distinguished career of studying and predicting hurricanes. Known as
Father Hurricane, Vines was a hero in Cuba for his accurate hurricane
forecasts.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: People in Phoenix, Arizona live with
oppressive summer heat every year. They say that the extreme heat,
dust storms, and smoke from nearby wildfires are a small price to pay
for the nearly perfect weather that the aptly named Valley of the Sun
enjoys the other nine months of the year. When the high temperature
on the afternoon of the 21st reached a scalding 117F, it was a record
for the date, and just a few degrees short of the all-time high of
122F. The overnight temperature the next morning could only manage to
fall to 96F, setting the all-time record for Phoenix, AZ continued in
the midst of a record hot July.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: It was the hottest night in history for a city
known for its sizzling temperatures as the mercury in Phoenix, AZ only
managed to fall to 96F.
