...Humidity Levels To Rise...
It is another beautiful morning across Central Alabama, thanks to a
very deep upper trough, the axis of which extends from Canada into
Alabama. This trough is allowing unusually cool and dry air to flood
southward. If it were winter, we would be seeing extremely cold
weather. Coming in July, it has provided very low humidities and
relatively cool temperatures for mid-summer. In fact, a few spots
likely recorded record lows this morning. We will be reviewing the
list of records a little later.
CONTINUED MOSTLY DRY: The mostly dry conditions of the weekend will
continue into the early part of the week. Skies will be mostly sunny
to partly cloudy today and tomorrow with highs in the 80s. Lows
tonight will edge back up into the lower and middle 60s, with middle
and upper 60s tomorrow night.
MORE TYPICAL SUMMER CONDITIONS RETURN LATER IN THE WEEK: Moisture
will start to surge into the area by Wednesday, and dewpoints will
rise back into the 60s. This means that it will feel more like summer
in Alabama. It will also be indicated by the return of isolated to
scattered showers and storms for the latter half of the work week.
Highs will be near 90F, lows near 70F.
IN THE TROPICS: We're monitoring a tropical wave that will pass
through the Windward Islands this morning. It became better organized
on Sunday, but it is encountering increasing shear thanks to a trough
over the eastern Caribbean. It will be interesting to watch this
system as it moves into the western Caribbean later in the week where
upper level winds will be more favorable for development.
CARS AND TORNADOES: That will be the main topic of conversation on
Monday evening as we welcome Dr. Thomas Schmidlin to WeatherBrains.
Dr, Schmidlin authored a 2002 paper that questioned whether
automobiles were as susceptible to being overturned by tornadic
winds. His research led the American Red Cross to change their
version of tornado safety rules earlier this year to say that being in
a car was preferable to being in a ditch or depression in the open.
The NWS and the Red Cross have now reached a compromise in the
confusing difference. We will review that joint release with Dr.
Schmidlin and try to help clear the air over the controversy. Weigh
in with your thoughts on AlabamaWX.com. Take the poll, and add your
thoughts.

ON THIS DATE IN 2008: The curtain finally fell on the long life of
Hurricane Bertha. Bertha is the longest lived July hurricane (7.5
days.) It is also the longest lived tropical storm for any July, at
16 plus days. Bertha also established a record for the furthest east
that any tropical storm and hurricane formed so early in the season.
