...Drier Air Slips into North Alabama...

SHOWERS WILL BE SCARCE THROUGH MID-WEEK: Drier air has moved into the
northeast half of Alabama, and accordingly showers will be pretty
hard to find today for areas north of a line from Livingston to
Camden to Eufaula. The dry air also means very effective heating by
the sun today, and most communities around here will peak in the 91
to 95 degree range. But, on the positive side, dewpoints will mix
down into the 50s this afternoon, meaning humidity levels will be in
the 20 percent range during the peak of the heat. Another words,
today will be hotter but less humid than recent days.

THE DAYS AHEAD: We will bring back the chance of widely scattered
showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon hours tomorrow and
Thursday, but once again the deeper moisture will be confined to the
southern half of the state. Then, on Friday, moisture surges
northward and scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible
statewide. For Saturday and Sunday, with ample moisture and an
approaching short wave, scattered showers and storms will remain in
the forecast with a high generally in the mid to upper 80s.

TROPICS: Hurricane Felix will move into Central America today, with
the center making landfall in the general vicinity of the Honduras/
Nicaragua border. Felix weakened a bit yesterday, but is still a
major hurricane, and is expected to be at category four strength at
the time of landfall (winds 131-155 mph). At this time it looks like
Felix will slowly dissipate during the latter half of the week as it
moves farther inland over Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico. But, it will
produce life threatening flooding and mud slides.

Out in the Atlantic, a tropical wave is about 1000 miles east of the
Lesser Antilles, but due to dry air surrounding the system and cooler
than normal SSTs, significant development in the short term looks
unlikely. And, we should note that a broad low pressure area about
200 miles east of Savannah has the potential to become better
organized today; most of the global models ultimately push this
system out into the open water before becoming a threat to land.

And, we should mention that Henrietta, in the far East Pacific, is
expected to become a hurricane today; that system will be forced
northward toward Baja California, and moisture from Henrietta will
wind up in the Southwest U.S. later this week, possibly setting the
stage for heavy rain over parts of Arizona and New Mexico.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Hot weather is the story over much of
Southern California; Los Angeles International Airport soared to 99
degrees yesterday, but to the north the high in San Francisco was
only 71. Deep tropical moisture was over the Rio Grande Valley
yesterday; Brownsville, Texas recorded 2.03" of rain.
