...Showers Remain Widely Spaced...

EIGHTY TWO YEARS AGO TODAY: On September 5, 1925, temperatures soared
across Alabama as a massive heat wave gripped the state. The high in
Centreville was 112 degrees, the hottest temperature ever recorded in
the state of Alabama. Birmingham's high was 106 degrees, and triple
digit heat was recorded on 9 of the first ten days of that month. So,
as we forecast a high of 93 today, remember the heat could be much
more severe this time of the year.

We will mention the chance of a few widely scattered showers and
storms today and tomorrow as a flow of high altitude moisture into
the region continues; some of this moisture is actually coming from
Tropical Storm Henriette, which is over the Gulf of California on the
western side of Mexico. The low level air remains rather dry,
however, so widespread rain is not expected.

OUR WEEKEND: A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible
on Saturday and Sunday with a high temperature in the 88 to 91 degree
range for most communities. The best chance of a shower or storm will
come during the afternoon and evening hours, as you might expect this
time of the year. To the east, we will be watching tropical
developments.

GABRIELLE? Looks like the East Coast of the U.S. will deal with the
threat of a hurricane over the coming weekend. A disturbance east of
Jacksonville, Florida is getting better organized this morning, and a
tropical depression is expected to form this morning. The system will
be forced to the west/northwest by Friday as high pressure aloft
builds north of the system. This means the coast of the Carolinas
could be threatened, and with a very warm Gulf Stream we believe that
this one could become a significant hurricane. All interests from
Savannah northward to Cape Cod will need to keep up with this one
closely in coming days; some of the models push this to near the
coast, around the border of North and South Carolina; then it turns
to the northeast up the coast.
Elsewhere in the tropics, Felix continues to produce incredible
amounts of rain over Central America, despite the fact that it has
been downgraded to a tropical depression.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: A code orange air quality alert has been posted
for the Birmingham metro today (Jefferson and Shelby Counties); that
means air quality could be unhealthy for sensitive groups, like
people with asthma.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: The heat has backed off a bit in Southern
California; the high in Los Angeles yesterday (at LAX) was 92. No
heat problems up in the Pacific Northwest; the high yesterday in
Seattle was only 67, and the city was soaked with 1.12" of rain. The
coldest spot yesterday in the continental U.S. was West Yellowstone,
Montana with a frosty 31 degrees.
