...Some Beneficial Rains This Week?...

A beautiful Sunday is in progress across Alabama this afternoon with
lots of sunshine and very warm temperatures. Skies are very blue
thanks to some fresh air that has filtered in from the east. The
radar is clear, except for showers over the northwestern corner of
the state. Temperatures are headed toward the low 90s for the most
part. Look for another fair night, with lows in the 60s again.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday looks to be a lot like today, with partly
cloudy and very warm conditions again. Showers and storms will be
limited to extreme northern sections of Alabama, ahead of an
approaching cold front. Those showers and storms will increase from
the west on Tuesday as the front continues our way. The arrival of a
slug of Gulf moisture associated with an approaching tropical wave
should beef up the rainfall amounts. There could also be some strong
thunderstorms on Tuesday. The front hangs up over the area on
Wednesday, continuing a chance of showers and storms. That will be
the general weather trend through the end of the week. Then a much
more powerful cold front arrives late next weekend or early in the
beginning of the following week.
GABRIELLE AND THE REST OF THE TROPICS: Tropical storm Gabrielle
got a little better organized early this morning as she crossed the
Gulfstream and took aim on Cape Lookout North Carolina. She has
spent the day traversing the beautiful countryside of eastern North
Carolina, bringing wind, waves and rain to the spectacular Outer
Banks. Places like Hatteras, Avon, Rodanthe and Salvo along the
vulnerable string of barrier islands experience a minor surge, but
not enough to overwash NC-12. Waves, North Carolina has been
appropriately named today, with nice 8-14 foot waves for surfers, but
a deadly undertow for casual swimmers. The center of the storm will
pass near Manteo as it turns northeast ahead of the approaching
trough and heads out to sea. September tropical storms and
hurricanes are a way of life on the Outer Banks and a part of the
rich lore of the region. If I could pick a different place to live
every month for weather, the Outer Banks would be my September place.
ON THIS DATE IN 1919: The fourth strongest hurricane ever to affect
the United States struck southern Florida on this date in 1919. The
pressure dropped to 27.37 inches near Dry Tortugas, west of Key West.
Ten vessels were lost at sea accounting for more than 500 of the
800-900 deaths. The 1919 Hurricane was one of the largest ever in
United States history. Residents all along the Gulf Coast agonized
as they waited for the hurricane's next move. Warnings were posted
all along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida after the storm passed
the Keys. The storm would make landfall at Corpus Christi TX on the
14th where 284 people were killed in spite of the warnings. The
total of 600-900 deaths caused by the Hurricane of 1919 made the
storm the third deadliest hurricane in the United States in the
Twentieth Century.
