ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Sunday June 7, 2009
===================================================================
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.

...Air Quality Alert Today...

A Code Orange Air Quality alert is in effect for today across Central
Alabama's Jefferson and Shelby Counties. High pressure and warm
temperatures will lead to a high accumulation of the pollutant ozone
today and quite likely again on Monday.

ICE CREAM WEATHER: Did you know that chocolate is America's
favorite flavor of ice cream? Well, today is the official day to
celebrate it! June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. And the
weather will be right for it, with lots of hazy sunshine and warm
temperatures. Highs today will top out in the 90 degree range today
across the area.

DRY THROUGH TUESDAY: Moisture will be slowly increasing over the
next few days, but I think we will remain mostly dry through Tuesday
as a ridge of high pressure remains in control of our weather. Highs
will be in the upper 80s for the most part. Lows will be on the muggy
side, getting a little closer to 70 each night as we go through the
week ahead.

SCATTERED SHOWERS: By midweek and beyond, we will see the return of
the typical summertime afternoon and evening showers and storms as the
ridge weakens just a tad and the westerlies sag a little southward
into the Ohio Valley region.

WEEKEND SNEAK PEEK: It looks like more of the same as we head into
next weekend, with partly cloudy skies and widely scattered daily
afternoon and evening showers and storms.

CRYSTAL BALL WEATHER: The fairly typical summertime pattern looks
like it will continue as we head into the week of the15th, although
the slug of tropical moisture over Florida might eventually try to
work in here from there east.

MIDWEST MODERATE RISK TODAY: The SPC has outlooked areas from
southeastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa through northwestern
Missouri and northeastern Kansas for a moderate risk of severe weather
today. A moist, increasingly warm and capped air mass over this
region today will be prime for severe weather by late afternoon as
increasing wind shear and a strong mid level wind max set the stage
for supercells and tornadoes followed by a big bow echo that moves east.

TROPICAL ATLANTIC QUIET: Shower activity associated with a low over
the southwestern Caribbean diminished this morning. But this is the
area of interest over the next week or so as the models continue to
hint at nervousness and generally low pressures here. There is a
chance that we will see a tropical low develop here during the next
week and track northeast or north toward western Cuba. The GFS and
Europeans models both offer this general solution. The system could
bring heavy rains to Florida. Their drought conditions have relaxed,
but I am sure they could use a little more rain.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: The forecast for tonight: 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.
