Status Quo...
* Still watching that pesky upper air low over Alabama. It's been responsible for our increased rain chances lately, as it continues to slowly weaken. But, a weak upper air trough will slide in from the Arklatex, and this and the stubborn upper low over Alabama will likely be enough to support a few scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and Wednesday.* By later this week, rain chances should begin to diminish a bit. Temperatures will be hot, but nothing out of the ordinary for August - highs in the lower 90's, lows in the 70's. We have been fortunate this summer; temperatures have rarely gotten above 95 degrees. In fact, our hottest temperature so far this year is 96 degrees.
* Watching the tropics...Harvey is heading out to sea, we wish him a calm voyage over the northern Atlantic. Irene is a bit more wishy-washy; she just can't make up her mind. Indications are that Irene may curve out to sea, but there is also a chance that steering currents will weaken and Irene will just drift around for a few days. Certainly going to make our friends in Bermuda antsy.
* Vacation coming soon...I'll be heading down to the Alabama Gulf Coast early Wednesday morning and spending the rest of the week there with some close friends...Should be a fantastic time - get some rest and relaxation in before school visits and secondary severe weather season begins.
