MONDAY MORNING SOAKERS: Showers developed early this morning over the
eastern side of the state, and with little movement and amazing
staying power, some very heavy amounts of rain were measured over
parts of Etowah and Calhoun counties. ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Josh
Tanner from Hokes Bluff reports 1.65″ of rain since the storms began
this morning (as of early afternoon), and he adds that his uncle is
measuring a whopping 4.25″ of rain since this morning just north of
Bynum (just east of Anniston)
NEXRAD radar estimates are above 5-6″ between Bynum and Boiling
Spring in Calhoun County, and that is followed closely by a 5″
bullseye about 2 miles due west of downtown Rainbow City in Etowah
County. Surrounding that, radar estimates between 2 and 4 inches from
the Neely Henry Dam, to Ohatchee, stretching southwestward to Bynum.
Where it has been raining today, it is much cooler! At late morning
the Gadsden SKYCAM was showing 63 degrees with 0.48″ of rain since
midnight. That is pretty amazing for a July morning in Alabama.
Additional showers and storms will continue to form this afternoon
and early tonight; the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued an update
suggesting the best chance of strong storms with local areas of
damaging wind would be along and west of U.S. 43 for the next six
hours, or west of a line from Muscle Shoals to Tuscaloosa to
Demopolis to Mobile. This is where instability values are highest.
LOOKING AHEAD: Weather maps this afternoon show a strong, closed
upper low over West Virginia, that is moving slowly to the west/
northwest. Occasional spokes rotating around this feature will keep
our weather rather unsettled through mid-week, with more clouds than
sun and scattered showers and storms statewide. While most of the
showers and storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours,
in this kind of setup you can't rule out the chance of a few late
night or morning showers, like we have seen today.
Temperatures will remain below normal through mid-week, with
afternoon highs generally in the 85 to 89 degree range. The average
high for July 23 in Birmingham is 91, and it remains at 91 until
August 16, when the average high drops to 90.
TOPIC: TROPICS: A weak low is about 350 miles north of Bermuda, and
is moving north toward the cooler water of the North Atlantic.
Tropical storm formation is not expected through mid-week.
THE GREAT WORLD OF WEATHER: The coldest spot in the U.S. this morning
was Nuiqsut, Alaksa with 36 degrees. Coldest in the "lower 48" was
West Yellowstone, Montana with 39. Yesterday's official high in
Birmingham was 90 degrees; considerably cooler than Boise, Idaho,
where the high was 103, and Billings, Montana with 100.
NO J.B.: J.B. has an excused absence today; he went with us on the
annual intern lunch to Jim's Pit BBQ in Billingsley. Be sure and ask
J.B. how much banana pudding he consumed today after a massive
barbecue plate...
