...A Hot Weekend...

Weather maps this morning show the presence of a summer staple: a
strong subtropical high over the western Atlantic. This subtropical
high has been stronger than usual it seems over the past few years.
The result has been long periods of hot, dry weather in the
southeastern United States. That subtropical high is very strong this
afternoon, with centers east of Florida and Virginia. A powerful,
deep conveyor belt of warm, humid air is being transported north
across the Southeast and up into the Mid-Atlantic States. Heat
advisories are in effect from eastern North Carolina to eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey where heat indices through Monday
afternoon will push to around 110 degrees. To the west, relentless
storms have been pounding the Plains and Upper Midwest. J.B. posted
some amazing rainfall totals from Indiana from last night, including
9.18 inches near Gosport.

YOUR FORECAST: A few showers and storms formed last night over South
Alabama. That could happen again this evening, but for the most part,
dry and hot conditions will continue this afternoon and again on
Sunday. Highs both afternoons will be in the middle to upper 90s,
with a few 100 degree readings not out of the question. Isolated
storms will be at a premium. By Monday and Tuesday, storms will be a
little more common. Wednesday, we will see a frontal system trying to
approach Alabama from the northwest as the subtropical ridge slides a
bit back to the east over the Atlantic. The good news is that it may
get close, and could even stall across the area. This could increase
our rain chances in the mid week to weekend time frame. Still,
average rainfall amounts are not expected to be heavy.

SEVERE WEATHER: Significant severe weather is expected again today
across some of the same regions that have been storm ravaged this
spring. A moderate risk of severe weather and public severe weather
outlook has been posted for today from northeastern Nebraska, much of
Iowa, southeastern Minnesota and southwestern Minnesota. Today is the
anniversary of the Barneveld, Wisconsin F5 tornado. The situation
today looks eerily similar to that event. The battle zone will slide
slightly southeast tomorrow and again on Monday, but still stay well
to the north of Alabama. More dangerous storms will plague the same
regions later this week.

TROPICS: A tropical wave is moving through the Windward
Islands this afternoon. It is accompanied by showers and storms.
Chances of anything forming here is very small and tropical cyclone
formation is not expected in the Atlantic in the foreseeable future.

ON THIS DATE IN 1692: Just before noon, a massive
earthquake and tsunami destroyed the town of Port Royal, Jamaica.
Much of the sixty acre island was consumed by the sea forever, leaving
only twenty five acres when the disaster was over. Five thousand of
the seven thousand people living there died. Many believed it's was
God's wrath for a sinful city. Some called it the Sodom of the
Indies." The island became a Royal Navy base for many years.

ALABAMA ONE CALL

KNOW WHAT'S BELOW
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

Whether planning to do it yourself or hire a professional excavator,
smart digging means calling 811 before each job to find out where it's
safe to dig.

Every digging project requires a call to Alabama One Call--even small
projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours prior to
digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!
* Complies with Alabama Act 94-487.
* Helps prevent undesired consequences and possible service
disruptions to your neighborhood.

...Hot Weather To Continue...

HOT WEEKEND: Hot temperatures will be the headline Alabama's weather
through this early June weekend. Today will be the 4th straight day
of 90 degree heat in Birmingham and the 4th 90 degree day of the
year. It will also be the hottest day so far this year. Temperatures
will peak in the middle 90s across much of the area as a strong high
pressure bubble builds right over the Deep South. Thunderstorms will
be a remote possibility, but don't count on it. A few showers and
storms did form over Southwest Georgia and Southeast Alabama in some
deeper moisture rotating around the subtropical ridge. But the high
building directly overhead should squash anything that tries to form
today for the most part. Sunday looks to be a carbon copy of today.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The ridge should recede back to the east
by Monday. As it does, the heat will back off just a tad, and deeper
moisture will be able to flow in on southeasterly winds. Don't get me
wrong. It still will be hot, but temperatures around 90 are at least
a little better than middle or upper 90s. That moisture will also
result in a little better chance of afternoon storms. The chance will
increase just a tad each day through Thursday, but still, rain chances
will be slight through then.

WEEKEND: An upper level trough over the western states
will intensify at midweek as it swings out onto the Plains. That
means the possibility of more severe weather in places that just don't
need it. It also means that we may see a more substantial increase in
showers and thunderstorm activity for us here in Alabama as a frontal
boundary tries to work its way in to the state. The battleground
between the front and the high pressure ridge may set up over
Alabama. We'll take it, because it will mean increased rain chances
and lessened heat.

NATIONAL NOTES: A major heat wave in the East this
weekend. Heat advisories cover much of the region from North Carolina
to Temperatures will soar into the upper 90s with heat index values
of 105F to 110F in many areas. Cities like Philly may hit 100F. Did
you know that rip currents kill more people each year in the United
States (100) than tornadoes (60?) We are heading for a record year in
tornadoes and tornado fatalities. There have been 1,330 tornado
reports through Thursday. This number will come down a bit when the
official counts are tabulated, but is already very close to the annual
average of 1,200 tornadoes. We have experienced 112 tornado related
fatalities this year, t he deadliest year since 1998. There have only
been three two years since the 1974 Superoutbreak when there were more
than 100 fatalities in a year: 1998 and 1984.

TONIGHT'S FORECAST: SUNNY AND WARM: That's right. At
least in Barrow, Alaska on the Arctic Ocean when the late spring and
early summer brings all night sunshine. On this date in 1998, the
high temperature rose to a record 51 degrees with a gusty land
breeze. Record warmth this week? Not so much. For today? Clouds
and fog with some snow showers after midnight. Today's high in
Barrow: 38. Tonight's low: 30. .

...Summer Rolls Along...

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Plenty hot is the word and rather humid and
mostly dry. The upper ridge still holds over the southeast and we are
keeping a dry forecast for the weekend. Early next week an isolated
shower or storm could show up in the heat of the afternoon, but they
will be so few and far between that you probably will not see one. As
we have cautioned many times over the years, sometimes an afternoon
shower can show up in the heat of the day when they are not forecast.
Only takes a little bit of moisture to create one.

We believe that Saturday and Sunday will be our hottest
days. Not out of the question that we could break the 95-degree mark
on one of those days, although we are showing 94. Models hint that
there could be some temporary weakness in the upper ridge early next
week. Still does not look like a big rain event for us. The showers
and storms will curve around the northward part of that ridge aloft.

THE SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION: So far today, the Storm
Prediction Center has classified the risk as Slight extending from
North Arkansas to Illinois and Indiana and including almost all of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota. This afternoon, Tornado
Watches were in effect all the way from the Arkansas/Missouri border
northward through Illinois, northern Indiana, almost all of Michigan
and another one covering the north one-third of Minnesota. Tomorrow
the Slight Risk area is from about Omaha and Des Moines eastward to
include Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee.

The Tornado Watch was timely for North Minnesota. A
tornado produced widespread roof damage on the east side of Park
Rapids in North/Central Minnesota. Trees were uprooted and an
automobile was carried into a ditch. A one-half path of destruction
extended north from Park Rapids. There was also heavy damage on the NW
side of Pickerel Lake. A tornado was reported on the ground early this
afternoon at Newburg, Missouri.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Looks good. Few, if any, showers
with highs 88 to 92 and a bit hotter inland. The sea surface
temperature just off shore is about 83.

ELSEWHERE: 2.80 inches of rain in only one hour at
Hamill, South Dakota…visibility of ¼ mile and snow at Stampede Pass,
Washington…10 inches of new snow from this storm at Alta, Utah and 2
inches at Gothic, Colorado…23 this morning at Bryce Canyon, Utah, 26
at Chama (a neat little town in Northern New Mexico)…last time I was
there, they still had a narrow gauge railroad…over 4 inches of rain
yesterday at Des Moines…Waterloo, Iowa now has an amazing rain surplus
of 1 foot for the year.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Got a chuckle from an
e-mail from Paul Owens. He enjoys the Molly stories. He and his wife
have a little Yorkie named Dameino Winchester. They call him Chessie.
Paul said he is six years old and, except for not being able to talk,
he is human. He weighs about 8 pounds and has a plastic bone as large
as he is. He is also a weather dog…also I was delighted to get an e-
mail from Yvonne all the way from Northern Ireland, who says the Molly
stories brighten up her work day…we have quite a few readers in other
countries…I have great plans for Little Miss Molly this afternoon and
Saturday…going to play so much ball with her that she will beg for
mercy. She is overdue. Life goes on.

CONGRATULATIONS: To James and Karen Spann. It is
their wedding anniversary and James's birthday (there is more on the
blog about that). Don't you really think that he planned it that way
so he could never forget his anniversary?

...Afternoons Remain Hot...

HOTTEST WEEKEND SO FAR THIS YEAR: Temperatures won't change much
through the weekend; we expect daily highs in the 90 to 95 degree
range across the state, making it the hottest weekend so far in 2008.
The upper air ridge is going nowhere, and if anything it will
strengthen slightly during the next 24 hours, so afternoon showers
will be almost impossible to find on radar. You will see a few cumulus
clouds around, but each day will feature a good supply of sunshine.
The primary storm track across the nation continues to run north of
the heat ridge, and another severe weather outbreak is likely today in
the general area from Tulsa to Detroit; a moderate risk of severe
weather is up for cities like St. Louis and Chicago.

NEXT WEEK: We continue to see signs that the upper ridge will weaken a
bit by the middle of next week, which will mean decreasing heat
levels, and increasing opportunities for scattered afternoon showers
and storms. Looks like the ridge will remain in a weakened state
through mid-month, which would suggest highs back in the upper 80s in
the June 13-18 time frame.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Fantastic summer weather will continue along the
Gulf Coast through early next week with mostly sunny days and fair
nights. Showers will be few and far between;
expect daily highs in the mid 80s along the immediate coast, with low
90s inland. The sea water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab
last night was 84 degrees. We should also note the tropical weather
scene is very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected
across the Atlantic basin through Sunday.

AROUND THE NATION: Another big severe weather event yesterday and last
night for the nation's heartland; a total of 32 tornado reports were
received by the Storm Prediction Center as of late last night. Most of
the twisters were over rural parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.
There were 159 reports of high wind, and 140 reports of large hail in
this same general area. Triple digit heat continued in the southwest
part of Texas; the nation's hottest place was Fort Stockton with 107
degrees.

ON THIS DATE IN 1816: The high was 92 at Salem MA. But the temperature
would plunge to 49 degrees 24 hours later. This would mark the
beginning of the "Year Without a Summer." This was the result of three
major volcanic eruptions in prior years, and the sun was going through
a period of low magnetic activity called the Dalton Minimum. Low
magnetic activity reduces the number of bright spots on the sun making
the sun slightly dimmer. When this occurs, the world experiences
cooler temperatures. In New England, there was snow in early June.
During the months of July, August and September, night time
temperatures dipped and frost occurred on several occasions. July and
August were dry so the crops started to suffer from drought. Frost in
September caused additional crop failure. The lack of sunlight stunted
plant growth and prevented the ripening of produce such as corn.

...Dry and Hot...

IT MUST BE SUMMER: It looks like summer, it feels like summer, it
acts like summer, the perspiration says it is summer, so it must be
summer. (The scientific name for perspiration is sweat.) As we
mentioned yesterday, all indications are that the ridge of high
pressure aloft is going to remain over the SE on through the weekend.
This tells showers and storms that they cannot develop. If anything,
it appears the ridge may strengthen some by this weekend, so we
increased the high temperature for Sunday to 94 instead of 92.

Always on a summer afternoon, there is some variation in
high temperatures even over a distance of 50 to 100 miles. Dothan
topped out at 97 yesterday, Montgomery had 95 and most other
communities had 90 to 92. By early this afternoon, the old thermometer
had reached or slightly exceeded 90 over most of the area.

We still do not have any rain in the forecast through the
weekend. Climatologically it is fairly unusual to go that long with no
rain in the forecast. Possibly late in the weekend or early next week
a few may show up during the afternoon.

AWESOME TORNADO YEAR: So far in 2008, there have been
reports of 1,330 tornadoes, including 595 in the month of May. Mind
you, that number will not stand when the ballgame is over, because
storm surveys will discover multiple reports of the same storm.
Unfortunately, we have had 112 tornado fatalities around the country
this year, including 58 in February and 43 in May. The worst day for
Alabama was on February 6, when both Lawrence and Jackson Counties in
the Tennessee Valley had killer tornadoes. There were 4 fatalities in
Lawrence County and 1 in Jackson County. The states that have suffered
the largest number of deaths so far this year were Tennessee with 31,
Missouri 19 and Arkansas 20.

CUDOS TO THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER: There has
been a tremendous improvement in the science of predicting tornadoes
since I was in the National Weather Service. Those people deserve a
note of thanks. For example, 103 of the 112 fatalities in the USA this
year occurred within a tornado watch. 7 others were in a severe
thunderstorm watch. There was only 1 fatality where there was no watch
at all.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Some of this stuff is
useless…such as the high of 96 yesterday at Possum Kingdom, Texas and
102 at Slapout in the Oklahoma Panhandle. (There is also a Slapout in
Alabama)…amazing rain surplus in the central part of the country…a
marked example is West Plains, Missouri, hometown of Porter Wagoner,
where 33 inches is the total this year so far—a surplus of 13 inches.
(Porter Wagoner wrote one of my top three favorite songs, The Green,
Green Grass of Home.)…Evansville, Indiana has a rain surplus of over
15 inches, St. Louis almost 14 inches…113 was the USA hot spot
yesterday at Rio Grande Village and Winkler County Airport, both in
Texas…snow in the west is winding down. 8-12 inches above 9,000 feet
in Northern Utah, 2-5 inches in places like Aspen, Vail and Telluride,
Colorado and 4-8 inches on South Pass near Lander, Wyoming. Drove over
that remote pass one night after midnight.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have my own little live weather radio.
Her name is Little Miss Molly. Several weeks ago, she became
noticeably anxious and was walking around the house making sure her
safe spots were ready. I checked the radar and the nearest lightning
was 20 miles to the west. She had been sitting up on my desk, so maybe
she was reading the afternoon edition of the Weather Fax that I was
preparing. Seems like she has an IQ of over 100. I sure am glad she
gets to see Dino twice a day. That absolutely makes her day. Life goes
on.

projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours prior to
digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!

===================================================================

...Hot and Dry Days...

TONS O' SUN: Looks like our weather is in a holding pattern, thanks to
a strong upper air ridge that is draped across the southern U.S. The
core of the ridge runs from Texas to Alabama, and the associated
weather is basically hot and dry. The warm air aloft will keep a lid
on any showers that try to form during the peak of the afternoon heat,
and don't expect any significant precipitation now through the weekend
as the ridge holds tight. Afternoon temperatures will remain about 6
to 9 degrees above average values for early June in Alabama; this
means afternoon highs generally in the 90 to 94 degree range.

TO THE NORTHWEST: A major upper trough will come out of the Rockies
today, and will set the stage for a major severe weather/tornado
outbreak this afternoon and tonight in the general area from Oklahoma
City to Minneapolis. And, that same upper trough brought a very
significant June snow event to the Rocky Mountains yesterday and last
night, complete with thundersnow. The snow will taper off during the
day today as the trough moves on to the east.

WEEKEND PEEK: We should mention that there is always some risk of a
brief afternoon shower or storm with this kind of heat and humidity in
Alabama, but we believe the upper ridge will keep the state generally
hot and dry Saturday and Sunday, with highs between 90 and 94 degrees
and a good supply of sunshine both days.

AT THE BEACH: Beautiful weather continues along the Gulf Coast… mostly
sunny days and fair nights through the weekend. Highs along the
immediate coast will be in the mid 80s, with low to mid 90s inland.
The ocean water temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night
was a warm 83 degrees. And, we should mention that the Atlantic basin
is very quiet right now, and tropical storm formation is not expected
through the weekend.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: In the words of J.B. Elliott, a tornado
autobahn is set up in the general area from Denver to Baltimore.
Tornado watches covered just about this entire area last night; one
tornado was reported near Falls Church, Virginia during the afternoon.
There were numerous reports of tornadoes last night, including some
large ones, over Southwest Iowa. Strong storms dumped 1.93" of rain on
Philadelphia; other totals included 2.93" at Dayton, Ohio, 2.01" at
Wilmington, Delaware, 1.93" at Cincinnati, Ohio, 1.70" at
Indianapolis, Indiana, and 1.69" at Washington, D.C. Triple digit heat
continued to plague Southwest Texas; the high in Wink yesterday was
111 degrees, making that community the hottest place in the nation.
Coldest spot in the nation yesterday morning was Pahaska, Wyoming with
31 degrees. The coldest spot in Alaska was Barrow with 32.

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Wednesday June 4, 2008
===================================================================
ISRAEL & NEW BREED, MARTHA MUNIZZI HEADLINE
"ONE CITY, ONE CHURCH, ONE STAGE" AT CITY STAGES

Last year, City Stages turned one of its main stages over to gospel
music for an entire day. This year "One City, One Church, One Stage"
returns with even bigger names for a full Father's Day of Christian
music.

Grammy award-winner Israel & New Breed and Stellar Award winner
Martha Munizzi are among the headliners for the second annual OCOCOS.

Also on the bill: Canton Jones, William Murphy, the Birmingham Mass
Community Choir and The Basement, who were responsible for one
of the most moving sets the Coca-Cola Classic Stage has ever witnessed
when they wrapped up the evening last year.

Tickets to the 20th Annual City Stages are on sale now at area locations
of Books-A-Million, Moe's and Publix, as well as all Ticketmaster
locations and ticketmaster.com.

Or, phone 205-715-6000 or 800-277-1700. More info at http://www.citystages.org

===================================================================

...Hot Is The Word...

SHOWERS STAYING NORTH: This time of year and all through the summer,
weather forecasters pay a lot of attention to the wind patterns aloft,
especially at around 10 to 20 thousand feet as much or more so at the
ground level. We watch for upper level lows, highs, ridges and low-
pressure troughs.

Specifically, we look for a high pressure area or ridge
aloft, which tends to put a cap on thunderstorm development and also
gives the old thermometer an invitation to edge upward.
Latest model information seems to indicate a ridge aloft
becoming better established by Friday and over the weekend. This may
all but eliminate any risk of showers or thunderstorms for most of
Alabama. Even if we study the weather another 100 years, we will never
be able to give you a 100% guarantee that a lone shower or storm will
not show up on a hot summer afternoon. Anyway, we are leaving them out
of the forecast through Sunday. The thermometer will reach or exceed
90 on just about every day. The humidity will be unfriendly also.

THE MOSCOW TRAGEDY: Not Moscow, Russia. Not even Moscow,
Idaho. Instead, it was the very small town of Moscow, Indiana about 35
miles SE of Indianapolis that was almost wiped out by the rash of
tornadoes yesterday. Early reports say at least 10 injuries, including
one lady critically injured when a 3-inch diameter tree limb was
driven deep into her chest. A vast zone across the central part of the
country is almost an autobahn of severe weather lately. Even
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore and most of Virginia were in a Tornado
Watch this afternoon and in a Moderate Risk area.

MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER THURSDAY: It looks like a
significant outbreak of severe weather tomorrow in the middle of the
country from the Central Plains into the Midwest. The Storm Prediction
Center has high confidence that the outbreak will be very strong. The
biggest danger will be from about Oklahoma City northward to
Minneapolis/St. Paul including Topeka, Wichita, Omaha, Des Moines and
Minneapolis. A lesser risk will cover a much larger area. Do not be
surprised at all to see that upgraded to a high risk by tomorrow. An
intense low-pressure area will be located over Western Kansas early
tomorrow. Colder air on the west side of that big system will dump
several inches of snow in Yellowstone National Park, as much as 11
inches in the mountains of Central Colorado, also some snow in the
North Utah mountains and even the higher mountains around Flagstaff,
Arizona.

ROAMING: Temperatures were expected to reach over
100 in far SW Texas this afternoon with dry winds gusting to 50 mph.
Extremely low humidity…some major highways along the Indiana/Ohio line
had as much as 18 inches of water from flash flooding…3.82 inches of
rain overnight at Springfield, Illinois.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly
keeps showing me that her IQ is higher than mine. During a morning
walk, she could tell that two neighboring dogs were having a family
dispute on the other side of the hedgerow. Molly looked alarmed,
turned around, came back and sat on my foot and looked up at me as if
to say, "Should we go back home?" I assured her it was okay. She is a
semi-chicken when danger lurks. Cannot really blame her, because she
has been charged by some big dogs in the community several times…
number 6 in the little puppy's 10 commandments is to be aware that
however you treat me, I will never forget. That little girl should
always have good memories of us because we treat her royally. Her
little tail never stops wagging, so she is happy and life goes on.

...Showers Becoming Very Scarce...

HEAT LEVELS GOING UP, RAIN CHANCES GOING DOWN: A strong upper air high
pressure ridge will continue to nose into Alabama from the west today;
the warm air aloft associated with this ridge will serve to cap off
the atmosphere, meaning a generally dry day for Alabama with little
hope of any one spot getting a cooling afternoon shower. The heat is
the big story; if we reach our forecast high of 94 today that will be
nine degrees above the average value for June 4, with within 4 degrees
of the record high today (98 established in 1899). High humidity
levels will push the heat index (the way it feels due to the combined
effect of temperature and humidity) to near 100 degrees across much of
Alabama. Bottom line is that today should be the warmest day so far
this year for most places.

Looks like the strong ridge aloft will hold through the weekend,
meaning generally hot and dry weather for our state. Of course, this
is June in Alabama, so a rogue afternoon shower or storm is certainly
possible, but not very likely. Afternoon highs will remain in the 90
to 95 degree range through the weekend, and the primary storm track
will remain north of Alabama, on top of the ridge. Severe weather will
continue to develop across the nation's heartland during the next two
days for areas close to the storm track.

There is some suggestion by medium range computer models that a
weakness in the ridge will develop sometime early next week, which
could bring a better chance of scattered showers and storms to Alabama
in about 6 to 7 days.

TROPICAL UPDATE: The Gulf of Mexico is clear this morning, and
tropical storm formation is not expected in the Gulf, the Caribbean,
or the rest of the Atlantic for the next several days. The sea water
temperature at Station DPHA1, or the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, was a
very warm 86 degrees last night.

BEACH FORECAST: Great weather along the Gulf coast through mid-week
with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Any showers and storms will be
very isolated. Afternoon highs along the immediate coast will be in
the mid 80s, with low to mid 90s just inland.

ROAMING: The 5 pm temperature yesterday at Wink, Texas (West Texas)
was 112 with relative humidity only 4%. Yep, that is FOUR percent.
Strong south winds gusting over 30 mph at times. That is somewhat like
standing near the open door of a blast furnace. Meanwhile…thundersnow
will dump heavy snow in the higher elevation of the Colorado Rockies
during the next couple of days. Places like Leadville and night
temperatures will be as cold as the lower 20s. In the Wasatch
Mountains of North Utah, 4 to 8 inches of snow may fall at Alta
starting tonight.

HEATING UP: The hottest spots in Alabama yesterday were Montgomery and
Troy with 96. Dothan soared to 95, while the high in Tuscaloosa was
93. Birmingham's official high was 92.

===================================================================

...Not Many Storms Rest Of Week...

HOT AND HOTTER: This is the third day of summer and it is certainly
throwing its weight around. By early this afternoon, temperatures had
already reached the 90-degree mark over much of the state. Remember,
90 psychologically sounds hotter than 89 (or does it?). Tomorrow
should be our hottest day so far this year. We are projecting 94 as an
average high across Central Alabama. Some spots over on the west side
of the state could even be a degree or two hotter. We also look for
mid 90s on Thursday. Highs on Friday and Saturday and into the weekend
may back off a degree or so.

ANY RAIN AT ALL? There is a very small chance of a
storm this evening, but mostly over the NE corner of the state. The
upper air pattern favors thunderstorms that form in the Plains or
Midwest and move toward the SE. By around Thursday, an upper ridge
will become better established from West Texas eastward to the
Carolinas. That will tend to keep the main thunderstorm action to the
north of Alabama, in fact, mostly north of the Ohio River. When the
temperature gets above 90 on an Alabama afternoon and even with
limited moisture, there can always be a renegade thunderstorm that
pops up. That could happen about Saturday afternoon.

THE DROUGHT STORY: We still have one. It is just
not nearly as bad as it was a year ago at this time, especially as far
as the springs and reservoirs are concerned and in many
cases the crops, topsoil and livestock. Do not know for sure how much
of the topsoil is now moist because of recent rains. Anybody dig a
hole recently that can give us an idea? There was encouraging word in
the release yesterday from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Alabama
Field Office in Montgomery. I do appreciate that report every week.
They indicate that 78% of the pasture and rangeland in Alabama is in
fair to good condition. It was almost opposite that a year ago. They
also rate 64% of the topsoil moisture as adequate and only 26% as
short. State wide, this year's corn crop was reported in good to
excellent condition, although some needed some rain.

NORTH TO ALASKA: Ann Kreitlein is a long-time
reader of our daily reports. She is in Alaska and passing through
Deadhorse by rail, did not see a single building other than a beaver
lodge. A few days ago, on her cruise ship, she noticed a long
relatively thick but narrow cloud coming around the mountain from a
channel they were intersecting with. Nothing but clouds, wind and
cold. Wind so strong had to hold on to the rail. The water had been
calm, but in only three minutes was choppy and went downhill from
there. I am guessing the cruise ship passed near where cold winds come
downslope from the interior and rush out over the water. Could be cold
winds coming off a glacier. Never been to Alaska…back to the lower 48,
it was 111 in Wink, Texas yesterday—16 degrees hotter than Las Vegas…
low this morning 28 at Dayton, Oregon.

TROPICAL: The Atlantic Basin is quiet. Checked
some sea surface temperatures this morning. Across most of the NW
Caribbean and Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the water temperature was around
81 or 82, but 83 to 84 closer to the Alabama coast. Hurricanes
consider mid 80s and warmer like eating ice cream.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: As soon as Little Miss Molly and I
stepped out the door this morning, the little baby rabbit that has
been hanging out around the shrubbery at the gazebo, dived under the
nearby wooden fence and disappeared. Molly did not see it, but she
picked up the scent. Her little boyfriend, Dino, has been jumping the
rabbit almost daily. Granddaughter Mandy and Molly jumped it recently
and the ensuing race resembled a scene from the German autobahn. Why
does a dog know how to chase a rabbit? How does Molly tell it is
different from another little puppy? The little rabbit and little
puppy are about the same size. For some reason, Molly knows she is
obligated to chase a cat or rabbit. Life goes on.

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Tuesday June 3, 2008
===================================================================
ALABAMA ONE CALL

KNOW WHAT'S BELOW
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

Whether planning to do it yourself or hire a professional excavator,
smart digging means calling 811 before each job to find out where it's
safe to dig.

Every digging project requires a call to Alabama One Call--even small
projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours prior to
digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!
* Complies with Alabama Act 94-487.
* Helps prevent undesired consequences and possible service
disruptions to your neighborhood.

...The Heat Is On...

THE HEAT CRANKS UP: Our friends in the astronomy business declare the
official arrival of summer at 6:59 p.m. CDT June 20; the summer
solstice. But, we consider meteorological summer June 1 through August
31, and you will know why this afternoon. Hot weather becomes the
weather headline for Alabama today as an upper ridge slips in here
from the west. We expect the temperature today to peak somewhere
between 90 and 94 degrees, with heat index values in the mid to upper
90s. The warm air aloft associated with the upper ridge will tend to
keep Alabama generally dry, but there is almost always some risk of an
afternoon thunderstorm in this kind of pattern. The chance of any one
spot getting wet this afternoon is about one in eight, with the best
chance east of I-65. The odds of a cooling afternoon shower tomorrow
will be even smaller as the ridge continues to build.

LATE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND: A strong disturbance will pass north of
Alabama late in the week, that might weaken the ridge enough for a few
scattered afternoon storms by Friday and Saturday, but the general
pattern won't change much with hot muggy days and highs generally in
the low 90s.

TOPIC: TROPICS: The remnant circulation of former tropical storm
Arthur continues to cause heavy rain over parts of Central America and
Southeast Mexico. Elsewhere, the Atlantic basin remains quiet and
tropical storm formation is not expected through mid-week. In the
eastern Pacific, a disturbance just off the Mexican coast has the
potential to develop into a tropical depression today; for now it is
drifting to the north just offshore.

NAMES RETIRED: The names Dean, Felix, and Noel, three of the most
devastating storms of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, were retired
by the World Meteorological Organization a few weeks ago.

AT THE BEACH: The weather along the central Gulf coast should be dry
through Thursday, with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Afternoon
highs will be in the mid 80s along the immediate coast, with low 90s
inland. A few widely scattered showers and storms could show up by
Friday and the weekend, but we still expect a good supply of sunshine
during those three days. The water temperature last night at the
Dauphin Island Sea Lab was a warm 86 degrees.

HEATING UP: The hottest spot in Alabama yesterday was Dothan with 96
degrees; Birmingham's official high was 88. Out in Texas, the
community of Wink soared to 111 degrees and was the nation's hot spot.
The high in Dallas/Fort Worth was 97.

DROUGHT MONITOR: Birmingham's rain total for the year is 28.79"; our
surplus for the year is 3.27". Anniston is much drier; the total there
is 22.79", and the deficiency for the year is 2.92". Tuscaloosa has a
deficiency of 3.99".

Afternoon Edition For Monday June 2, 2008
===================================================================
ISRAEL & NEW BREED, MARTHA MUNIZZI HEADLINE
"ONE CITY, ONE CHURCH, ONE STAGE" AT CITY STAGES

Last year, City Stages turned one of its main stages over to gospel
music for an entire day. This year "One City, One Church, One Stage"
returns with even bigger names for a full Father's Day of Christian
music.

Grammy award-winner Israel & New Breed and Stellar Award winner
Martha Munizzi are among the headliners for the second annual OCOCOS.

Also on the bill: Canton Jones, William Murphy, the Birmingham Mass
Community Choir and The Basement, who were responsible for one
of the most moving sets the Coca-Cola Classic Stage has ever witnessed
when they wrapped up the evening last year.

Tickets to the 20th Annual City Stages are on sale now at area locations
of Books-A-Million, Moe's and Publix, as well as all Ticketmaster
locations and ticketmaster.com.

Or, phone 205-715-6000 or 800-277-1700. More info at http://www.citystages.org

===================================================================

...Thermometer Heading the Wrong Way...

HEADED FOR THE 90s: Lots and lots of rain across various parts of
Alabama Sunday, but everybody did not get rain and now we must turn
our attention more to heat than to rain. We have left in an isolated
shower or thunderstorm possible this evening and again Tuesday, but we
believe for the most part that this week is going to be hot and dry.
In fact, our high temperature forecast is for 90 or above every day
through Friday. The old thermometer may back off a little bit to the
upper 80s by the weekend.

This will be generally the hottest days we have had so
far this year and the timing is perfect since summer began yesterday
as far as weather people are concerned.

SUNDAY'S STORMS: They were very scary looking in some
communities and many of them produced hail. We had a number of reports
of hail the size of quarters and even one or two reports the size of
golf balls. The rain came quick and heavy. An example of that was in
West Jefferson County where 1.71 inches fell in the Hueytown/Virginia
Mines area, including 1.69 in only ½ hour. A few other heavier rain
totals:

1.85 Birmingham Airport
2.03 Pinson
2.50 Oxford
1.78 Roebuck

Now, about that 1.85 inches at Birmingham Airport. That
brought the total for 2008 to 28.79 inches. Amazingly, that is an
excess of 3.40 inches. A year ago today, we had received only 10.28
inches. To put the drought in proper perspective, be sure and read the
letter on the editorial page of The Birmingham News today by Jerry L.
Sailors, co-chairman of the Southeast Water Alliance and president of
the Coosa and Alabama River Improvement Association in Montgomery.

FRYING PAN HEAT: Well, not quite, but it probably feels
that way in West Texas and SE New Mexico. It was 114 in Wink, Texas
yesterday, 110 in Rio Grande Village and 109 at Pecos, Texas. We spent
the night one night in Pecos during a blinding dust storm and next
morning our motel door was barricaded by huge piles of tumbleweeds.
One of those little things you never forget.

IRAQ WEATHER: It was 104 at 8:00 tonight in
Baghdad (their time). For the rest of the week, the high should be 100
to 105.Way far away and on the opposite end of the thermometer, it
will be 104 below zero tomorrow at Vostok, Antarctica. Coldest
temperatures this morning in the USA included 23 at Barter Island,
Alaska and 29 at Redmond, Oregon.

TROPICAL: The remnants of Arthur was dumping heavy
rain over parts of Belize, Guatemala and SE Mexico. May cause life-
threatening flash floods and mudslides, but redevelopment is not
expected.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It was shortly after midnight. My
granddaughter and her friend Doug were departing for Auburn. He had
his big black Doberman that filled up most of the back seat of his
car. I decided to take Molly in my arms and went out to the car for
her to meet the big dog. As soon as she laid eyes on her in the semi-
darkness, she simultaneously got so excited I could hardly hold her
and also so frightened that she was shaking all over. It was a
mistake. When we came back in, it took her 10 minutes to regain her
composure. Then it was beddy-bye time and she got a nice rubdown
before passing out. Life goes on.

===================================================================

Thunderstorms developed in a warm and sultry airmass across Central
Alabama on this Sunday afternoon. Capitalizing on lots of
instability, the first storms quickly intensified. Several of them
rapidly became severe, with a few warnings having to be issued. We
didn't think that hail was going to be a threat, since the atmosphere
is so warm, but there were several reports of hail up to the size of
quarters with the stronger storms. Some reports of trees and power
lines being downed were also received.

With temperatures approaching 90 and dewpoints in the upper 60s, the
storms have a lot of instability to draw on. Storms will form,
quickly pulse up, and rain themselves out within a short time since
there is little in the way of wind shear today. That same trend will
continue through the evening hours.

OUR COOL FRONT: The cool front we have been advertising is still up
around the Ohio River. So, today's activity has been strictly caused
by the heating of the day. But thunderstorms were massing at mid-
afternoon along the Tennessee/Alabama border. These storms will sag
southward through the late afternoon and evening hours. These storms
will have the potential to become severe, since the atmosphere has not
been really worked over by the afternoon storm activity.

Finally, a powerful complex of thunderstorms over Arkansas was racing
southeastward towards Alabama at nearly 50 mph. This activity should
reach the northwestern counties between 7-8 p.m. and rush across North
and Central Alabama during the evening hours. A widespread damaging
wind event is possible with this system.

FOR YOUR MONDAY AND BEYOND: There are now indications that the front
will stay to the north of Alabama through much of tomorrow. This
means more showers and storms will form along numerous boundaries
thanks to the frontal forcing. They could once again be severe since
instability levels will be high. The front should settle into Central
Alabama Monday night. The front will wash out rather quickly by
Tuesday. Then a basic summertime pattern will set it for much of the
coming week with hot and hazy conditions expected. I think there
could be big time severe weather over the Plains and Midwest at midweek.

TROPICS: Tropical depression Arthur was along the Mexico/Guatemala
border this afternoon. It is moving west southwest and will remain
over land, eliminating the possibility of re-intensification. Heavy
rains, flooding and life threatening mudslides are expected over the
Belize, Guatemala and southeastern Mexico.

ON THIS DATE IN 1990: An especially violent tornado in West Texas
struck the Bakersville Valley area. Two people were killed and twenty
one injured. Some remarkable damage included 300 feet of blacktop
being ripped off of a road and two 90-ton oil tanks being blown three
miles. They were then blown 600 feet up the side of a mountain. $35
million in damage resulted from the tornado.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: The ink was drying on the record book for an
entry for a record 17.23 inches of rain that fell during the month of
May in Birmingham. It also was the third wettest month ever in
Birmingham. Amazingly, the month came very close to being the all-
time wettest month ever in the Magic City, eclipsed only by July 1916
when a dying tropical storm hovered over Alabama, dumping 20.12 inches
of rain on the city. Birmingham and much of the Deep South was locked
in a southwesterly flow pattern for a couple of weeks during the month
that spread copious amounts of Gulf moisture over the region.

ALMANAC: The sixth month of the year in Birmingham features warm
temperatures, increasing humidity and generally light precipitation.
It is the third driest month, averaging 3.78 inches of rain. Only
October and August are drier.

Afternoon and evening thunderstorms become a frequent occurrence,
generally happening on eight days during the month. Much of the rain
that falls in the month is associated with thunderstorms. On average,
rain falls on nine days during the month.
As you would expect, cloudy periods are rare. The sky is cloudy 22%
of the time on average. Only August features less cloudy time. The
average PM relative humidity is on the rise, at 53%, rising from the
45% observed in April. The average dewpoint reaches 65F, which is my
definition of muggy. This is up from the 58F in May.

12.09 inches of rain fell in June 1900, which stands as the all-time
record for the month.

On June 1, the average high and low is 85/62. By June 30th, it will
be 90/68. The coolest it has ever been in June is 47F on June 16,
1917. It has been as warm as 106F on June 29, 1931.
