Busy Day...

* We've had a few thunderstorms across parts of the area today. As of 5 pm, most of the activity was along the Highway 84 corridor, with more activity affecting Sumter and Greene counties in west Alabama. These storms should die down in time for the 9pm fireworks shows across the area!

* Tropical Depression 3 is having some trouble getting organized in the southern Gulf of Mexico. But, the water temperatures down there are VERY warm, and we certainly can't write this system off just yet. I still believe the system will make landfall somewhere along the Louisiana or Mississippi coast. As far as timing, the system will probably make landfall late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. We'll be able to better refine the forecast once a low-level circulation becomes more apparent.

* DENNIS? Computer models are indicating a stronger, more organized system forming in the Caribbean Sea in a few days. We believe that this system is one to watch! Here's the FSU MM5 output for that system (it's the one nearing the Florida peninsula):
