...Storms Increase By Sunday...

HOT HAZY SUMMER DAYS: The weather across Alabama won't change much
today and tomorrow. Hot and hazy conditions, a partly sunny sky, and
the risk of a brief pop-up afternoon shower or thunderstorm. The
chance of any one spot getting wet today and tomorrow is about one in
five, and the best chance of showers will come during the peak of the
afternoon heating process, between 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. Very routine
summer weather for our state.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY: We do expect an increase in the number of showers
and storms on these two days in response to an upper trough forming
over the eastern third of the nation, and an approaching surface
front. And, as the rain chances go up on these days, the heat levels
will come down. Highs will drop into the mid 80s on Monday because of
clouds and showers.
Drier and slightly cooler air will follow the showers Monday night,
and at this point the weather for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week
looks dry with sunny days and clear pleasant nights. Humidity values
will be low as well.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: We are forecasting about 7 to 9 hours of
sunshine tomorrow and Sunday with just a few widely scattered showers
and storms. Highs along the
immediate coast will be close to 90, with mid to upper 90s once you
get a mile or so north of the beach. The sea water temperature at the
Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was 86 degrees. No sign of any
tropical storm trouble over the next few days, but scattered showers
and storms should increase along the coast by Monday with a surface
front approaching from the north. Still, no all-day kind of rain.

OZONE ALERT: Another code orange ozone alert is in effect today for
Jefferson and Shelby Counties.

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: Residents of Cameron LA went to bed believing
that they had plenty of time to evacuate the following morning in
advance of what was then a Category Two Hurricane Audrey. Official
bulletins from the U.S. Weather Bureau stated that the storm would not
come ashore until late the next day. They would be very surprised the
next morning to find water covering much of their parish as a twelve
foot storm surge was already impacting the area and the center was
just offshore. Also, Audrey had intensified rapidly during the night,
with the central pressure dropping 35 mb from the last reconnaissance
fix during the day. Winds correspondingly increased to 145 mph and the
storm surge rose from an expected 5-8 feet to a devastating 12 feet or
higher. Additionally, the forward movement of the hurricane increased
from 6 mph to 15 mph, and residents were told that the hurricane would
not strike until the following afternoon. 390 people would die and
another 192 would never be found.
