...Beautiful Weather For July...

A rather unusual situation is setting up as an anomalous dry airmass
moves into Alabama from the north. It looks like the cool front will
have the impetus to make it all the way into the northern Gulf,
setting the stage for some fine July weather in Central Alabama.

GREAT WEATHER FOR RACING: Check out the Grand Am racing at the
beautiful Barber Motorsports Park this weekend. There will be six
exciting races today and tomorrow along with many other exciting
events for racing fans. The weather will be perfect with total
sunshine, low humidities for summer and temperatures in the middle 80s
both days.

GREAT WAKING UP WEATHER: While it is not as brisk and refreshing as a
beautiful October morning, it will do for July. Dewpoints in the 50s
will allow for general lows in the lower 60s for the next two
mornings. There could even be quite a few 50s thrown in. That feels
quite nice.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Dry conditions will continue through Tuesday, with
the pleasant humidities sticking around. By Wednesday, moisture
levels should increase to more summerlike levels and we will see the
return of scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms. The
rain chances will increase into the weekend.

TROPICS: Two tropical waves worth mentioning right now. One is
getting close to the Lesser Antilles. Another is midway out in the
Atlantic. Both have low probabilities for tropical cyclone
development. We are still waiting on Ana, the first named storm of
2009.

BEACH WEATHER: Our cold front will be approaching the coast today,
limiting showers and storms to the southern parts of the Alabama and
Northwest Florida coastal counties. As the front eases out into the
Gulf, coastal areas should be mostly dry through Wednesday. You
can't rule out an isolated storm Monday-Wednesday, but with
relatively low humidities and temperatures about 3 degrees below
normal, it will be quite pleasant along the beautiful beaches of
Alabama and Northwest Florida for the next few days.

WEATHERBRAINS NEWS: WeatherBrains is the netcast that is all about
weather. We put it on every Monday night. It is starting to get
quite a bit of recognition in weather circles. You can listen from
our blog at AlabamaWx.com, at the WeatherBrains.com homepage or by
subscribing through iTunes. It is an hour long show. We have been
getting some great guests lately and some incredible ones are
scheduled in the weeks ahead. This Monday night, Dr. Thomas Schmidlin
from Kent State will be the guest. He authored the controversial
paper about reversing years of tornado safety rules regarding
automobiles. Follow the show on Twitter @weatherbrains for the latest
guest and inside information.

ON THIS DATE IN 1942: An unbelievable rainstorm dumped an amazing
34.50 inches in just eighteen hours at Smethport in McKean County,
Pennsylvania. Six inches fell between midnight and 9 a.m. Then
between 9 a.m. and noon, a phenomenal 28.50 inches fell. 30.70 inches
fell in just six hours. Follow my weather history tweets on Twitter.
