Front Lingers Keeping Rain Chances Up...


Tonight's radar loop still has a weak circulation east of the Mouth of the River and south of Mobile Bay.  There is no surface reflection and pressures are not falling.  No model has any development for the next 5 +days, however, it is becoming more likely that IF we are to get another tropical threat this season, it will be "home grown (in the Gulf) and not one of those long track storms coming in from the Atlantic.  The tropical wave over the western Caribbean will move across the Yucatan tomorrow and reach the southern Gulf on Wednesday.   The GFS & Euro bring that slug of moisture northward toward the Louisiana coast late Thursday into Friday, but neither show any development.  The Eastern Pacific is getting active again and there could be two more named storms later this week.   But in our part of the World, the Tropics remain quiet.  That doesn't mean you can't get tropical downpours (2-4" in 1-2 hours) that cause some street flooding.   Just expect some to pop up again on Tuesday and they'll be slow movers.


Tomorrow morning I will be on the FOX 8 Morning News between 9-10 AM talking about my many stories with/about Nancy Parker.   You'll see why I consider her "One of a kind".  Enjoy the clip above from my retirement party in 2016.  Stay tuned!
