...Still Hot; Still Dry...

BACK TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS: Yesterday's official high in Birmingham
was 100 degrees… the 12th day this summer with 100 or hotter. It was
also the 27th day in a row with hotter than normal afternoon
temperatures. Other highs around Alabama yesterday included 102 at
Pinson (a record high for the date at that site; the old record was
101 in 1983), 101 at Montgomery and Meadowbrook, and 100 at Muscle
Shoals, Anniston, and Evergreen. Tuscaloosa's high was a "cool" 99.

There is no reason to think the weather will be any cooler today. In
fact, the upper air ridge will be a little stronger, so if anything
afternoon readings might even be a degree or two hotter. And, along
with the heat, the drought conditions will continue to worsen.
Birmingham's rain deficit is up to 20.91". The deficiency at
Tuscaloosa is 24.80", while Anniston is down 24.01" for the year.
Shrubs and trees remain in a high state of distress, and many water
supplies are running very low across the state.

LOOKING AHEAD: Same story tomorrow; very hot and dry with a high near
100 degrees and ample sunshine. The upper air ridge will begin to
weaken slightly on Friday, and we will bring in the chance of
isolated afternoon showers or storms. Then, by the weekend, we expect
highs to drop into the mid to upper 90s with at least some risk of a
cooling thunderstorm in scattered spots during the afternoon
and evening hours.

TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE: Dean will make his final landfall today
along the central Mexican coast well south of Brownsville, Texas. The
primary problem for Mexico this time will be the rain, and not the
wind. Serious flooding and mudslides are possible along the track of
Dean as it moves into the mountainous terrain of Mexico.
We continue to watch the disturbed weather east of the Bahamas; there
is still no sign of organization as it moves to the west, in the
general direction of Florida. At this point it looks like there is an
unfavorable upper air wind pattern for immediate development, but
even as an open tropical wave this should enhance the coverage of
rain and storms over Florida by Friday, and there is even some chance
it might bring an increased number of showers and storms to parts of
Alabama and Georgia over the weekend. That would be lovely.

COLDEST SUMMER DAY ON RECORD: The high yesterday afternoon in Central
Park in New York City was a chilly 59 degrees; that ties the record
for the coolest August maximum on record, last set in 1911. In
addition to being cool, the weather in the Big Apple was also wet;
the rain total at Central Park was 1.33".

TOO MUCH RAIN: Serious flooding across the U.S. Midwest has resulted
in at last 22 deaths during the last few days. Many rivers are still
in flood across parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio.
