...Oh, What A Beautiful Morning!...

Here at The Weather Company, we define a Perfect Weather Warning for
Central Alabama as temperatures in the middle to upper 70s, sunny to
partly cloudy skies and light breezes. But today's outstandingly
fine weather has prompted the issuance of a PWW for today across the
area. It is a perfect chance to get out and sample the best that July
has to offer in Alabama sans the humidity and scorching temperatures.

YOUR FORECAST: Today and Monday will feature similar weather to
Saturday: lots of sunshine, bright blue skies, a few clouds, low
humidities and daytime high temperatures that will be running some 4-6
degrees below normal for mid-July. Lows Monday morning will again
flirt with record for the date. The record low for July 20th is 60F
at the Birmingham Airport. We will be right at that. Tuesday will be
a bit warmer, but still should be mainly dry. Can't rule out an
isolated thundershower Tuesday afternoon. Moisture levels will be on
the rise by Wednesday, and we will see more of a typical summertime
pattern, with scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms
developing each day.

TROPICS: Two African waves are of interest tight now, but neither
shows more than a low probability of developing into a tropical
cyclone at this time. The first is moving into the eastern
Caribbean. It brought heavy rains to the islands overnight, but it is
experiencing strong shear, so development is not expected. The second
is a little less than 1,000 miles east of the islands. It is
surrounded by a tremendous amount of Saharan dust, which is inhibiting
the thunderstorms associated with the disturbance, so again,
development is not expected. The tropics should remain quiet for the
next week.

WEEKEND PONDERINGS: On a drive back to Birmingham from Columbus,
Mississippi, I was struck by a sign on the toll book of the bypass.
The sign says: "Tuscaloosa West Bypass: Connecting Our
Communities." Would that be an oxymoron? Where is Grammar Girl
Mignon Fogarty when you need her?

WEATHERBRAINS: If you have studied the man-made disaster that was
Hurricane Katrina, you have probably heard of Ivor van Heerden. He is
the coastal expert who recently was terminated from his position at
the Louisiana Hurricane Center at LSU. Many say that it is because
his outspoken stand on the levee policies and practices Dr. van
Heerden will be our special guest on the August 24th WeatherBrains
Hurricane Katrina special. Follow WeatherBrains at Twitter.com for a
chance to win a prize this week. It will be announced on Monday
night's show.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Hail larger than eggs in central China killed
at least 15 people. Injured people poured into hospitals after the
giant hailstorms went on a 30 minute rampage in northern Henan
province. It had been a deadly year in China with over 800 people
dying in flooding. Follow my weather history tweets on Twitter. I am
