...Times are Changin'...

It was a welcome site when I saw cumulus cloud towers beginning to
develop by 10:30 Friday morning. I noted the temperature at the
time, which was in the lower 90s. The times they were a-changin'.
The times that were changing were the temperatures aloft. The ridge
was breaking down. Sure enough, a couple of fledgling thunderstorms
developed. The first was in the Clay area. I just had to get in the
car and drive toward the storm, lured by the prospect of seeing
rain. The storm dissipated about as quickly as it formed. Soon
though, as temperatures rose even further, more storms popped up. A
powerful storm developed near the I-459/59 interchange. As it became
severe, I again had to just hop in the car and drive to the extremely
heavy rain. People were actually pulling under overpasses on Highway
11, like they were amazed by the rain. To the north, I saw a
mountain of a storm. It turns out that it was over Blount County,
where is produced a large downburst event with intense winds. During
the evening, a complex of thunderstorms entered eastern sections,,
but it weakened as is moved southwestward.

THIS WEEKEND: Scattered thunderstorms will develop again today
as temperatures warm into the 90s again. Once again, they will pack
quite a wallop with torrential rains, potentially deadly lightning
and the possibility of damaging downburst winds. Look for more of
the same again on Sunday as a shortwave trough passes by to our
north, enhancing our rain chances slightly.

HEADING INTO A NEW WORK WEEK: The ridge will still be over the
southern states through midweek, but it will barely be a shadow of
its former self. We will still see temperatures in the 90s, but that
is welcome compared to the intense heat we have been experiencing.
Scattered storms will be the norm, mainly during the afternoon and
evening hours each day. By Thursday, a large trough of low pressure
will begin develop over the eastern states. This will push a front
southward towards Alabama, leading to more widespread showers and
storms by late in the week. Highs will settle back toward what is
normal for this time of year, with highs in the upper 80s. It looks
like the front will stall across the state and give us wetter than
normal conditions into the week of Labor Day.

ON THIS DATE IN 1814: The War of 1812 is the only time that foreign
troops have ever occupied our Nation's capital. As British troops
burned the city of Washington, including the Capitol, White House and
Pennsylvania Avenue, the skies began to darken. As a huge
thunderstorm pounded the city, a tornado ripped through residential
sections of Washington. Several British soldiers were killed by the
storm. Their ranks shattered, the event was followed by a retreat by
the Redcoats. /

ON THIS DATE IN 2000: According to the Royal Meteorological Society
Journal Weather: Hailstones the size of gobstoppers were reported at
the Cape Cornwell Golf Club, in Cornwall England during a severe
hailstorm. How big is a gobstopper? About 20 mm across.
