...More Wet Weather In The Days Ahead...
BRING ON THE RAIN: A copious amount of moisture remains in the air
over Alabama, and that will mean a mostly cloudy day today with a
good chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially this afternoon
and tonight. Like the storms in recent days, they won't be moving
much, and some neighborhoods will receive heavy rain. All of the
storms will contain gobs of lightning, and some will produce local
areas of damaging straight line winds called a wet microburst.
Because of the lack of sunshine, we figure most communities will
experience a high only in the upper 80s today. The last time the
maximum daily temperature in Birmingham was under 90 was way back on
July 25 when the high was 89.

LOOKING AHEAD: With moist air sticking around and no capping
inversion (like we had last week), we expect scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis through Friday. While most
of the showers and storms will come from around 12:00 Noon to 12:00
Midnight, a few late night or morning showers can't be completely
ruled out. Highs will remain in the upper 80s.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: A busy weekend is ahead; high school and college
football kicks off, and many people will take the opportunity for one
final getaway to the Gulf coast. No matter what you have planned, you
will have to dodge showers and thunderstorms over the weekend as
maritime tropical air remains over the state. Some rain is possible
for the football games both Friday night and Saturday, and a few
passing storms are likely long the Gulf coast. We will have our
specific kick-off forecasts here tomorrow.

TOPIC: TROPICS: A tropical wave in the Central Atlantic about half-
way between the Lesser Antilles and the coast of Africa has some
potential for development in coming days as it moves westward into a
region of warmer SSTs (sea surface temperatures). Also, we note a
surface low pressure area about 100 miles southeast of Wilmington,
North Carolina; this is drifting south and also has some potential
for additional organization during the next 48 hours.

SUMMER SOAKERS: Rain totals around Alabama yesterday included 3.72"
in the Weatherly neighborhood in Shelby County (just east of Pelham),
1.85" at the NWS office at the Shelby County Airport (near Calera),
1.19" at the Logan Martin Dam along the Coosa River, 1.19" at
Wadley, .96" at Anniston, and .80" at Mountain Brook. The same
observer at Mountain Brook (near Mountain Brook High School) has
recorded 3.20" since Saturday. Shelby County was actually under a
flash flood warning for a brief time during the evening hours last
night due to the big downpour just east of Pelham.

Some spots have missed the rain, however, one observer in Cook
Springs (St. Clair County) writes: "It refuses to rain in , or on,
Cook Springs; less than 1/10″ over the last 4 days. Rain, and plenty
of it, on all 4 points of the compass around us, but not here. Sob!"
