...Greetings From Denver...

Greetings from Denver, where a delegation of Birmingham business and
civic professionals are on the Birmingham Innovations Group (BIG)
Trip to Denver. Barry Copeland and the Birmingham Regional Chamber
of Commerce do such a great job putting on this annual trip. Recent
trips have been to Nashville and Pittsburgh during the past two
years. Thanks to John Montgomery of BIG Communications, a small
delegation of us is going to study professional football, Broncos
style. Our seats are a mile high in Mile High Stadium, but we are in
the game baby!

WELCOME TO FALL: Fall is the new summer, you know. At least that
is what it is going to feel like for the first few days of fall
2007. Fall officially began at 4:51 a.m. CDT this morning, but no
sign of anything that would resemble autumn just yet.

YOUR FORECAST: The airmass over Alabama is very summerlike in
nature. Lots of tropical moisture is in place in the wake of
tropical depression ten, whose remnant low is located on the
Louisiana/Texas border south of Shreveport this morning. Dewpoints
are near 70 across the central part of the state this morning. Drier
air is across the Tennessee Valley. Precipitable water levels are
respectable, not astronomical. It all adds up to scattered storms
across the area this afternoon. High pressure will build into
Alabama from the east on Monday, pushing the showers and storms over
to western sections of Alabama exclusively. Tuesday looks dry. An
approaching front fires up storms late on Wednesday and especially on
Thursday before delivering a more fall like airmass for the weekend.

TROPICS: The prime item in the tropics is the area of low pressure
that will be passing over the Yucatan today on its way into the
southern Gulf of Mexico. This system could become a tropical
depression later today. It will move northwestward. The most likely
target for the developing system will be the Texas coast. The GFS
has consistently depicted a weak system heading toward the Upper
Texas coast, the GFDL strengthening it to a decent tropical storm
before it reaches the lower Texas coast near Brownsville. An Air
Force plane will investigate the system this afternoon. In any case,
the moisture stays west of Alabama. The system in the far eastern
Atlantic about 1700 miles east of North Carolina and 1000 miles west
of the Azores was classified as a subtropical depression this
morning. It is very nearly tropical and is expected to become
Tropical Storm Jerry later today as it moves northeastward. The low
pressure system 400 miles east of the Lesser Antilles looks like it
is already a tropical depression to me. It will become better
organized as it moves westward and a tropical depression may form
later today. Another disturbance just off the African coast will
become a significant hurricane this week as it menaces, but does not
hit the Lesser Antilles. A second Cape Verde storm may also develop
later this week.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: The worst fears of everyone came true as
water began pouring through repaired levees in new Orleans that had
been damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Waters flooded back into the
Lower Ninth Ward through a patched seawall on the Industrial Canal.
Water from Katrina had just been pumped out of the area.
