...Turning Off The Faucet?...

I am beginning to feel like the Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. I will
never complain loudly about rainfall, not after what we went through
in the drought of 2007. It is nice that everything is green and
verdant. But the days and days of rain have become repetitive.
Hopefully, we see some relief coming by the middle and end of the week.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: We continue to see a southwesterly flow across
Alabama and the Deep South this morning. Disturbances in the flow will
trigger more heavy rain and storms. A big trough is dropping into
place in the Plains states and it will cutoff into another big bowling
ball of an upper low. Meanwhile, pressures will build along the Gulf
Coast by midweek, hopefully helping us to…

…TREND TO DRIER: Today looks like it will be another very wet day
across the area. Everyone won't get big rainfall amounts, but a few
spots could see 3-5 inches. Average rainfall amounts will be around
three quarters of an inch. It will be mostly cloudy, but some
sunshine will break through during the day, pushing the mercury to
around 80F. Rain chances will still be high on Tuesday, but they
should begin to back off by Wednesday.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: It looks like rain chances will be ramping up by
Saturday as the upper low weakens and moves out to the northeast
pushing a front our way. Then some drier air may finally arrive.

TROPICS: The remnants of old Fred will reach the East Coast of the
U.S. by Tuesday. No regeneration is anticipated. The other
disturbance that we have been tracking in the Atlantic is encountering
hostile environmental conditions, and development looks increasingly
unlikely. It will track west northwest then northwest, and poses no
threat.

WEST COAST FIRE DANGER: The combination of severe drought and much
above normal temperatures over the western sections of California and
Oregon will lead to an enhanced wildfire risk in that part of the
country this week.

WEATHERBRAINS EPISODE 191: Tonight, the topic is the climate
change. Author Robert Henson wrote the Rough Guide to Climate
Change. He will join the panelists for a lively discussion about the
ins and outs of this controversial subject. Listen to tonight's show
at www.WeatherBrains.com, as well as all of the archived shows. You
can also subscribe to the podcast in the iTunes Music Store. Follow
the show on Twitter @weatherbrains.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: Hurricane Rita strengthened explosively over
the Gulf of Mexico into a Category Five hurricane and became the third
strongest on record with a central pressure of 897 millibars. With
the memories of the Katrina disaster still fresh on the minds of Gulf
Coast residents, highways were jammed with evacuees leaving coastal
sections of Texas and Louisiana. Follow my weather history tweets

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 the current sermon series 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.
