No Rain For A While

The Wednesday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Pretty simple package for Alabama for the next five to seven days... dry air means no chance of rain for the next five to seven days. Those rogue showers early this morning are long gone and the air will only get drier in the days ahead.

Looks like cooler air will begin to drain in here from the northeast late this weekend and early next week, which should drop highs into the 85 to 88 degree range, and lows in the 60 to 63 degree range. Maybe even some upper 50s by early next week in the cooler valleys; that will sure feel nice. And, it is that time of the year; September begins tomorrow.

TROPICS: Tropical depression 13 has regenerated; NHC track takes it north-northeast over the open Atlantic. We do note the BAM models want to loop that thing around... we will keep an eye on it.

A strong wave around 25 west shows signs of developing.... models take it west/northwest over the next few days. Too early to tell if this one will recurve or head toward the Caribbean.

Nothing threatening the Gulf of Mexico for the next five days. Upwelling from Katrina has cooler sea surface temperatures over the central and eastern Gulf a few degrees (F).

President Bush will speak at 4:00 local time....
