Some Late Notes…

We are in constant conact with the forecasters at the NWS via instant messaging…and the lead forecaster on duty just shared their thoughts…

…severe weather will be limited to areas south of US-80 and I-85 overnight.

…the tropical air will not get any further north.

…the magic line will be the 63F isodrosotherm (dew point line.) South of there surface based storms will be able to become severe and could produce damaging winds and tornadoes.

…north of that…storms will be elevated. This means that the air near the surface is more stable, and the unstable layer is higher up in the atmosphere. There still will be some loud storms and heavy rain. Can’t rule out an isolated wind report, but that looks like a low liklihood.

…the atmosphere is very moist…the balloon release from BMX tonight showed 90% relative humidity all the way up to 14,000 feet. They still are confident that most of the area will receive 1 to 1.5 inches of rain through tomorrow.

South of US-80 (Montgomery to Selma to Demopolis), please pay close attention to the weather overnight…tornadoes and damaging winds are possible.

North of US-80…throw open the window, set the Weatheradio just in case, and enjoy the sound of the rain and thunder.
