...Chamber of Commerce Weather...

Chamber of Commerce weather is an aphorism for very nice conditions.
I am in Denver with the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce
Birmingham Innovations Group (BIG) Trip to Denver. Our very own Pam
Huff and Bill Castle are also along. The goal of the BIG Trip is to
study what civic leaders in Denver are doing right so that hopefully
some of the ideas can be implemented in the Magic City. Chamber of
Commerce weather prevailed here yesterday where skies were partly
cloudy and temperatures were warm. It will be much cooler today
because of a cold front that passed during the overnight hours.
Arguably, Birmingham's weather could be considered to be of the
Chamber of Commerce variety today, although it is on the hot side.

GOOD MORNING: High pressure will be ridging into Alabama from the
Mid-Atlantic States today. This will push the tropical moisture to
the west and limit showers and thunderstorms to the western half of
the state today. Tuesday looks to be a completely dry day across
Alabama with high pressure in control. An approaching trough of low
pressure and associated front will bring showers and thunderstorm
back into the picture by late on Wednesday, with fairly good chances
of showers and storms on Thursday. This front will usher in a
refreshing airmass for the weekend, with highs returning to near
normal levels for this time of year.

TROPICS: The tropical disturbance over the Gulf of Mexico still has
not amounted to anything. It did send a line of showers and storms
northward yesterday afternoon, however. Upper level winds are
unfavorable for development, but we still could see a tropical
depression form before the system lifts into Louisiana. Subtropical
Storm Jerry has been acquiring tropical characterizes and will become
a full blown tropical storm over the North Atlantic, well west of the
Azores. The disturbance east of the Lesser Antilles may become a
depression today. Another developing system is in the far eastern
Atlantic. It could grow into a formidable Cape Verde hurricane this
week, but it should follow a weakness and eventually turn to the
north before it has the chance to make it to the islands of the
Caribbean.

ON THIS DATE IN 1956: Hurricane Flossy made its second landfall on
the Northwest Florida coast near Fort Walton Beach, after brushing
the coast near Pensacola. The storm spread hurricane conditions
along nearly the entire coast from Pensacola to Panama City. 16.30
inches of rain fell at Gulf Shores on the Alabama coast. .

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY: Hurricane Rita made landfall around 2:30 a.m.
CDT just east of the Louisiana/Texas border between Sabine Pass and
Johnson's Bayou as a Category Two storm with top winds of 120 mph. A
shadow of its former Cat 5 self, the Category Three storm still
brought a devastating storm surge to the coast of Southwest Louisiana
and Southeast Texas. Houston dodged a bullet. Over 2.5 million
Houstonians evacuated. Still, Rita killed six people and did $9.4
billion in damage.
