...Scattered Showers and Storms...

More routine summertime weather for Alabama today. Most of the
sunshine during the morning, most of the showers and thunderstorms
during the afternoon and evening. The chance of any one spot getting
wet again today is about one in three, and like recent days, the
stronger storms will produce heavy rain, gusty winds, lots of
lightning, and possibly some small hail. The high this afternoon will
be in the 87 to 91 degree range for most communities.

There would be a decrease in the number of afternoon showers tomorrow
as the air becomes more stable, but an approaching surface front could
mean an increase in showers and storms again over the weekend. But,
even then the storms will remain scattered, and there will be some
decent intervals of sunshine.

NEXT WEEK: The primary American computer global computer model, the
GFS, continues to hint that drier air will slip into North Alabama on
Monday and Tuesday of next week with few if any showers around here,
but that idea is pretty far fetched for late July in Alabama, and we
won't buy into that just yet.

TROPICS: A large area of disturbed weather has developed in the
western Gulf of Mexico, and is primarily associated with an upper
trough, and not a surface based low. This disturbance will move toward
the Texas coast today, and tropical storm formation is not likely due
to the unfavorable upper air wind pattern, But, parts of the Texas
coastal plain can expect some heavy rain during the next 48 hours. In
the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Dalila is packing sustained winds
of 45 mph about 300 miles west of the Mexican coast, and will move
slowly to the northwest and weaken in coming days. But, some high
altitude moisture from the system will move up into the Southwest
U.S., enhancing the monsoon pattern and setting the stage for som]e
heavy rain in states like Arizona and New Mexico.

MORE SUMMER SOAKERS: Big time summer thunderstorms erupted again
yesterday in scattered spots across Alabama. Rain totals included
2.05" at Childersburg, 1.38" at the ABC 33/40 Weather Center in
Riverchase, 1.32" at Orange Beach, 1.09" at Collinsville, .97" at
Bessemer, .83" at Chelsea, .55" at Greystone Cove in Shelby County,
and .51" at Inverness. Madison County, including the city of
Huntsville, was placed under a flash flood warning for a couple of
hours last night.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: More heavy rain for parts of Texas yesterday
and last night; the total at San Antonion was 2.35". One of the ABC
33/40 Weather Watchers is Todd Foisy, who reports daily from Girdwood,
Alaska (Todd is a Birmingham native). He reported a high yesterday of
57, a low of 50, and a rain total of .08". That really sounds
refreshing to me. Hottest place in the nation, as you might expect,
was Death Valley, CA with 117 degrees.
