...Summer Showers Again Today...

Summer showers and thunderstorms will continue across Alabama through
mid-week as an upper air low north of Alabama gradually moves to the
northwest. Occasional spokes of energy rotating around this system,
along with the usual daytime heating process, means a shower or storm
will be possible at almost anytime through Friday, but the showers
will be scattered and rainfall distribution will remain uneven. The
chance of any one spot getting wet over the next few days is about one
in three.

WEEKEND PEEK: A relatively moist airmass will stay in place, so we
will continue to mention the chance of scattered, mainly afternoon
showers and storms on Saturday and Sunday. There could be a few decent
intervals of sunshine, and afternoon high temperatures over the
weekend should be close to 90 degrees.

BIG TIME SOAKERS: While the Birmingham metropolitan area was bone day
yesterday, active storms to the east and to the west produced heavy
downpours and caused some other problems. We had one report of 4.25"
of rain near Bynum, which is just east of Anniston in Calhoun County.
Other rain reports included 2.46" at Mountainboro (northwest of
Gadsden), 2.34" near Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, 2.24" at Hokes Bluff,
2.00" at Fayette, and 1.63" at Black Creek (northeast of Gadsden).
Trees and power lines were blown down in Sand Rock and Leesburg in
Cherokee County, and there was other scattered damage reported near
the community of Kansas, in the far northwest part of Walker County
west of Carbon Hill.

Temperatures remained amazingly cool in those rain areas in East
Alabama; at 2:00 p.m. yesterday the temperature at our SKYCAM site in
Gadsden was only 62 degrees with a steady rain falling; that is 30
degrees below normal for July 23. Vic Bell, the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher
in Black Creek (in Northeast Etowah County) reported a high of only
68.7 degrees, with rain falling for twelve consecutive hours. Sure
doesn't sound like July in Alabama.

DROUGHT MONITOR: Despite all of those big rain totals, we still have a
long way to go to get out of this drought. Birmingham's rain total for
July is 2.71", with 14.62" for the year. The current rain deficit for
2007 is a whopping 18.28".

IN THE TROPICS: While the Atlantic basin is rather quiet, Tropical
storm Dalila formed in the Pacific Ocean yesterday not far from the
Mexican coast. Top winds are near 55 mph, and the system is expected
to move parallel to the Mexico coast, ultimately weakening and falling
apart west of Baja California by the weekend. At this point it does
not look like Dalila will impact any land area.

MORE SOAKERS: New York City was drenched with 2.31" of rain yesterday.
Big storms formed even in the normally dry part of Arizona yesterday
(monsoon time for them); the total in Prescott, AZ yesterday was
1.17".
