..Happy Father's Day...

Today is the day that we set aside to honor fathers. And we have
ordered up some of the best Father's Day weather in recent memory for
all our special dads today. But remember the heat. The combination
of heat and humidity can produce dangerous heat indices.

NATIONAL PEACHES AND CREAM DAY: Not only is it Father's Day, but it
is also National Peaches and Cream Day. The delicious fruits are in
season right now, and no place on earth produces better peaches that
Central Alabama. I bet dad would love a peach right about now.

RING OF FIRE: The big ridge of high pressure is keeping Alabama hot
and dry today. Organized showers and storms are relegated to the
periphery of the high. This morning, we saw a complex of showers and
storms riding the storm track along the edge of the high between
Georgia and South Carolina. The ridge is expected to translate
westward over the next couple of days, putting Alabama back in the
target zone for some of those disturbances. But the heat is the main
story.

HEAT ALERT: The combination of heat and humidity can make it
difficult for the body to cool itself. When heat index values
approach 105F or higher, you are getting into dangerous territory. We
are flirting with that for the past couple of days, and will continue
to do so into midweek. Limit your exposure to the sun, wear loose
fitting,
lightweight, light colored clothing. Drink plenty of water.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The high pressure ridge will shift ever so subtly
back to the west over the next few days. This will slide the edge of
the storm track back into Georgia. This means we can't rule out a
storm sliding down the ridge and clipping eastern Alabama Monday night
into Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. But as the East Coast trough
lifts out, the ridge will build back over Alabama later in the week,
keeping us hot and dry. I think we will gradually see the
reintroduction of those isolated afternoon storms as we move into the
later part of the week. The weekend looks basically hot and dry.
Long range crystal ball forecasting indicates that deep moisture will
build into the Southeast during the final week of the month and into
July with above normal precipitation.

TROPICS: The Atlantic continues to be quiet, but the eastern Pacific
has become active. A trough of low pressure off the coast of Mexico
has led to an increase in
storminess and a tropical depression may form offshore of Acapulco.
It will move west northwest paralleling the coast up towards Puerto
Vallarta.

ON THIS DATE IN 1981: Washington's Mount Rainier is popular with
climbers. Located 50 miles southeast of Seattle, it is the state's
highest peak at 14.140 feet. Many climbers are lost there each year,
most to avalanches. The worst accident in the history of the mountain
occurred on this date as eleven climbers were caught by an ice
avalanche as they rested on a glacier at 11,000 feet. It is the worst
accident in North American mountaineering.
