ABC 33/40 E-Forecast
ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Tuesday August 11, 2009
===================================================================
Our Hope In Difficult Times
We all struggle. A family in turmoil, job loss, health issues, a mess we
helped create. We live in difficult times.
Facing tough times is different with Jesus Christ than without Him.
Does that sound too "churchy?" Too easy? Don't be dismayed or misled.
Our Hope In Difficult Times is a new sermon series beginning on Sunday,
August 16 at Hunter Street Baptist Church. There is hope. You don't
have to struggle alone.
Join us this Sunday at Hunter Street, 2600 John Hawkins Parkway in
Hoover. Visit http://www.hunterstreet.org or call 205.985.7295.
===================================================================
RAIN CHANCES GOING UP: An approaching surface front will bring an
increase in the number of showers and thunderstorms to Alabama during
the next 36 hours, with potential for one inch of rain. Of course,
with the nature of summer thunderstorms the rain distribution won't be
very even, but some communities could see some beneficial amounts
through tomorrow.
While a few showers are not out of the question this morning, the best
chance of showers and storms today will come this afternoon and
tonight. While a few strong storms are possible, we don't expect too
many issues with severe weather with the best dynamics remaining to
the north of Alabama. We expect a high today close to 90 with most of
the sunshine coming during the morning hours.
TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY: The surface front will lose it's southward
push, and will become stationary somewhere over Central Alabama by
tomorrow night. We will still forecast scattered to numerous showers
and storms tomorrow, but drier air should begin to work into the
northern counties of the state by mid to late afternoon. The exact
location of the stalled front will determine our weather for Thursday
and Friday; for now we will assume the front will be somewhere near
I-20, so the most numerous showers and storms on these two days should
come over the southern half of the state. Communities like Huntsville,
Muscle Shoals, and Hamilton are looking dry on Thursday and Friday
with slightly lower humidity levels.
WEEKEND PREVIEW: The stalled front will lose it's identity late
Friday, and relatively moist air will cover much of Alabama over the
weekend, and we will forecast a chance of scattered showers and
thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. There will be some decent
intervals of sunshine away from the showers, and highs will be
generally in the 87 to 90 degree range. This kind of weather should
linger into the the first half of next week.
TROPICS BECOMING ACTIVE: The National Hurricane Center is monitoring
two tropical waves in the Atlantic; one in the eastern Atlantic west
of the Cape Verde Islands, and another one in the eastern Caribbean.
The Caribbean wave will have a hard time developing due to harsh upper
air winds, but the East Atlantic system has some chance to become a
tropical depression in coming days as it moves to the west/northwest
over open water. Too early to determine if this will be a threat to
the U.S. mainland, or if it will recurve harmlessly into the open
Atlantic. And, in the Pacific, Felicia continues to weaken, and it is
expected to move over the Hawaiian Islands today as a weak tropical
storm, or a tropical depression.
EXTREMES: Hottest places in the nation yesterday were Needles,
California and Bullhead City, Arizona with 108 degrees. Cold spot in
the nation was Eagle, Alaska with 28 degrees.
