...More Rain, Please...

The nearly one inch of rain that fell at the Birmingham Airport
yesterday was a great thing. Many folks have been enjoying similar
doses of that great thing that we call rainfall. Something that we
might have taken for granted before, but we now look for with great
anticipation. We are at least holding our own against the drought in
the short run and hopefully the weekend will put another couple of
inches in many of the rain buckets across North and Central Alabama.

TODAY AND TONIGHT: Disturbances are lined up to the west of Alabama
like trains on a track. One rotated through the state during the
overnight accompanied by an area of showers. Rainfall amounts
overnight were generally light. Clouds will be fairly prominent
today, with just a smattering of sunshine at times. Another
disturbance will rotate across the area later today, bringing another
chance for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures should generally
make the middle 80s, although if clouds and rain hang tougher in some
areas, those locations may hold in the lower 80s again like yesterday
at Birmingham.

TOMORROW: It looks like we could see additional disturbances
working over the warm and moist atmosphere that is in place over
Alabama again on Sunday. This means additional rounds of showers and
storms. Again, clouds will be the rule rather than the exception and
highs will be in the 80s again. Rainfall amounts between now and
Sunday night will average around an inch, with luckier spots getting
two inches or perhaps even more.

NEXT WEEK: It looks like we will head back into a fairly typical
summertime pattern as we head into the new work week. The Bermuda
high will be over the Atlantic acting as a giant moisture pump as it
does during the summer, transporting humidity up into the Southeast.
Hard to discern the details, so we will broadbrush the forecast with
about a one in three chances of showers or storms at your location
each day. It looks like the main moisture axis could be just to our
west, so the favored location for rainfall may be over western
sections.

TROPICS: The tropical Atlantic continues to be quiet with no
tropical development expected through the coming week. One thing to
note: we have been looking at a persistent trough of low pressure
over the eastern United States for quite some time. This trough would
of course protect the U.S. from Cape Verde type storms, and we are
edging closer to that time of the season. Will the pattern shift
last through the heart of hurricane season? Hard to tell. If it
does, it would set up a steering pattern we would not want to see.

ON THIS DATE IN 1954: It seems like the Tri-States of Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana often do weather things together. Back on this
date in 1954, Illinois recorded its hottest temperature ever (117F) at
East St. Louis. Indiana recorded it hottest ever with 116F at
Collegeville. The Show-Me state of Missouri recorded its hottest
reading ever with 118F at Warsaw and Union.
