...Flood Threat Continues Today...

TOO MUCH RAIN: Birmingham's official rain total for the month of
September is now 9.47", pushing the rain total for the year to 51.13",
giving us a 10.64" surplus for 2009. It is likely we will add to that
surplus today as scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will
likely develop statewide. Like recent days, a few heavy downpours are
likely, and additional flash flooding problems are certainly possible.
The ground is completely saturated, and the water simply has no place
to go. Additional rain totals of one-half to one inch are likely
today, with isolated heavier amounts.

WHY ALL THE RAIN: A tropical low moved inland from the western Gulf of
Mexico about ten days ago, then stalling out in the Ark-La-Tex region
west of Alabama. It was not a tropical storm, or even a tropical
depression, so it never got a name. But, the impact was very similar
to a stalled hurricane or tropical storm, much like Tropical Storm
Alberto in 1994, which produced a flash flood disaster over Southeast
Alabama and South Georgia. Alabama has been on the wet side (east
side) of this system, and there has been very little change in the
daily synoptic pattern resulting in some big time, historic rain
amounts for the Deep South.

TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY: We do expect a general decrease in the number
of showers and storms over the latter half of the week. The weather
won't be dry, but we believe the showers and storms will be more
widely spaced as an upper air ridge builds in. This will also mean
very warm afternoons, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 80s.
The best chance of showers and and storms on these three days will
come during the afternoon and evening hours, or during the peak of the
daytime heating process.

THE WEEKEND: A strong upper trough will pass just north of Alabama on
Saturday, suppressing the upper ridge, and giving us yet another
increase in the number of showers and thunderstorms as we begin the
weekend. Then, drier air will creep into the state Sunday, with the
most numerous showers and storms shifting down into South Alabama.
Then, it looks like most of Alabama will be actually dry for the first
two days of next week. We sure need a chance to dry out.

WILD WEATHER DAY: In addition to major flash flooding yesterday,
tornado warnings were required for some West-Central Alabama counties
for storms in the general area from Livingston to Demopolis. No damage
was reported, however. Some of the most serious flooding during the
day was seen across Greene, Hale, and Bibb counties where a number of
roads were flooded. In some cases, roads were actually washed away in
rural areas.

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX: The fall season officially arrives this afternoon at
4:18 when the sun is directly over the equator; today will feature
roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.

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.
