...Rain Chances Will Go Up Tomorrow...

It has been a beautiful July Saturday across Central Alabama. Plenty
of sunshine, fair weather cumulus clouds and still relatively low
humidities. The mercury hit 90F at Birmingham for the first time in
ten days. Radars are nearly totally clear at mid-afternoon. A small
shower had developed over East Alabama's Randolph County, near
Wedeowee. Isolated thunderstorms were lined up along the Gulf Coast
from southeastern Louisiana to Northwest Florida. Other storms were
northeast of Nashville and showers were over eastern Arkansas. Those
showers to our northwest are the signs of change that will come as
early as tomorrow.

SHOWERS AND STORMS TO RETURN: Those showers and storms to the north
are being produced by a cold front that extends from Central Missouri
through Central Illinois and Indiana. Tonight will remain fair across
Alabama, with any lone showers petering out and the puffy cumulus
clouds dissipating. Moisture levels will be increasing overnight, and
things will feel more humid by morning. By lunchtime, the front will
be near Memphis. Showers and storms will fire during the afternoon
and push southeastward overnight. The SPC has backed off on the idea
of there being severe storms over North Alabama late in the day.
That's good., although there could be a few strong storms.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that not everyone will get rain and some
folks could use it.

DROUGHT WATCH: Recent rains have really benefitted the short term
moisture needs of parts of Walker and Jefferson Counties. Other spots
are not so lucky, especially over East Alabama, where it has been dry
recently. In fact, abnormally dry conditions have crept back into the
drought monitor from Frainlin County down the west side of the state
and over a small part of East Alabama from south of Anniston to
Columbus, Georgia.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The frontal system will stall to the north of
Alabama, and we will stay under the influence of a warm and moist
airmass. Scattered to sometimes numerous showers and thunderstorms
will be the order of the day from Monday until the foreseeable future,
or at least until next weekend. In fact, no real change is seen
through the next two weeks. Rainfall amounts should average one to
one and one half inches over the next seven days.

WEATHERBRAINS: This week, our guest Tony Pann, a television
meteorologist in the Washington, D.C. area will share some breaking
news with us on WeatherBrains. He will also talk about his book, How
to Find a Good Weather Forecast. He will tell us the source of the
ruin of the weather industry and about his Internet radio show, Center
of Circulation. Get exclusive show notes and other information
about the show by following @WeatherBrains on Twitter.com.

ON THIS DATE IN 1954: The Andrea Doria disaster occurred in dense
fog off the coast of New England as the ship Andrea Doria collided
with the ship Stockholm in extremely poor visibility. Fifty two
people perished. Fog is frequent off of the Atlantic Coast in July
as warm, humid air blows from the shore over the cold offshore waters,
creating tremendous fog banks. The amount of fog diminishes as the
ocean waters warm further during the summer.
