...Front To Bring Showers and Storms...

Showers and thunderstorms were building as massing across the
Tennessee Valley section of North Alabama on this Saturday afternoon.
They are slowly marching south ahead of a frontal system that is
pushing into Tennessee.

INCREASING RAIN CHANCES: The persistent East Coast trough activity
has helped to send us some rather rare July cool fronts. Well, cool
is a relative term. Our current one will sag through the area late
tomorrow into Monday. Scattered showers and storms will continue into
the evening hours and likely continue into the overnight hours. The
front will meander into the northern part of the state tomorrow,
setting the stage for fairly good chances of showers and storms. Low
pressure will ripple along the front, giving it the impetus that it
needs to push into Central Alabama on Monday. It becomes a guessing
game as to how far south it moves before stalling. The GFS pushes it
well into South Alabama, with drier air filtering into the northern
half of the state by Tuesday. This means that Tuesday and Wednesday
should be shower free with moisture returning for isolated to
scattered storms later in the week.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: That upper low that was over the northwestern
Gulf yesterday is now over western Louisiana, giving a break to South
Texas, which has been beset with more heavy rains this week, sending
rivers like the Nueces, Frio, Atascosa and Trinity in South Texas out
of their banks. More localized flooding is expected to continue
occurring along the James River in parts of North Dakota and South
Dakota. Severe thunderstorms are possible today in the Savannah
River region between Georgia and South Carolina. A new severe
thunderstorm watch was issued around noon today. Severe thunderstorm
watches are also in effect for parts of New England.

ON THE TROPICS: A low pressure system has developed east of the
Bahamas. It is expected to move north northeast. Some development is
possible, although an upper low moving along with it will keep enough
shear in place to prevent significant development. There is an
aircraft scheduled to reconnoiter the system Sunday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1945: New York City was shrouded in fog on the
morning of July 28, 1945 as Lt. Col. William Smith piloted his B-25
Mitchell Bomber toward Newark, New Jersey from Bedford, Massachusetts.
Controllers urged him to land because of the fog, but he received
military clearance to continue his mission. As he descended to look
for a landmark, he found himself in the canyons of skyscrapers over
Manhattan. As he tried to weave and dodge the buildings, the bomber
crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building at 250 mph,
leaving a gaping hole in the world's tallest structure. As debris
rained down on the streets below, hysterical New Yorkers believed
their city was under attack. Fourteen people died in the crash,
including the crew of three.
