...Moist Air Returns; A Few Showers Today...
THE MUGGY FACTOR RETURNS: After a remarkable four day stretch of cool
mid-summer temperatures, higher humidity levels return to Alabama as
maritime tropical moves in from the south. And, with a passing upper
trough, we will maintain a chance of scattered showers and
thunderstorms statewide. Additional rain totals of 1/4 to 1/2 inch are
expected, with locally heavier amounts. Temperatures will remain below
average because of the clouds and showers, with highs mostly in the
mid 80s.
Drier air moves back into the state tonight, and at this time the
chance of widespread rain looks very small tomorrow, Friday, and
Saturday. Any afternoon showers should be very isolated, and
afternoons will turn warmer. We are forecasting a high in the upper
80s tomorrow, followed by low 90s on Friday and Saturday.
An approaching surface front should bring an increase in the number of
scattered showers and storms later in the weekend on Sunday, and that
front is forecast to stall out somewhere over extreme North Alabama
early next week, which will prolong the chance of showers and storms
into Monday and Tuesday.
TOPIC: TROPICS: The National Hurricane Center is monitoring disturbed
areas of weather near the Bahamas, and in the Caribbean southwest of
Puerto Rico; both are not especially organized, and the chance of
tropical storm formation looks small through mid-week. The rest of the
Atlantic basin remains very quiet.
AT THE BEACH: About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine today with only a small
risk of a shower; then expect about 4 to 6 hours of sun tomorrow
through the weekend with scattered showers and storms each day. Highs
along the immediate coast will remain in the upper 80s, with low 90s
for inland communities along the coast. The sea water temperature last
night at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab was 84 degrees.
LONGEST ECLIPSE: Six minutes and 39 seconds to be exact. That's the
duration of this today's total solar eclipse--the longest of the 21st
century. The event started at the crack of dawn today in the Gulf of
Khambhat just east of India. From the Gulf of Khambhat, the Moon's
shadow will race east across India, China, and the Ryukyu Islands of
Japan. All of this, of course, is on the other side of the world, and
the eclipse is not visible here in Alabama.
Most solar eclipses produce this sort of surreal experience for a few
minutes at most. The eclipse of July 22, 2009, however, will last as
long as 6 minutes and 39 seconds in some places, not far short of the
7 and a half minute theoretical maximum. It won't be surpassed in
duration until the eclipse of June 13, 2132.
