Display MoreLet's see. We are in a weird pattern here in the state. We have the tropical storm on the gulf coast. It is really raining, but not here. We are west of the tropical eye and in the northern hemisphere, these storm rotate counterclockwise.
That means that the storm is bringing in moisture from the gulf to the east giving the panhandle of Florida around the Panama City area and areas east the rain, they do not want right now. We are talking about buckets of rain. An average of 10 plus inches per day. Flooding like you've never seen. And it is moving through parts of Georgia.
Now as the storm is rotating around going toward the west, it is bringing down the dry air on the other side of the eye and bringing us in Alabama dry conditions which means dry warm or hot air that is blowing as it goes south back into the gulf waters.
We are wedged in within a two hundred miles around us with the southeast part of Alabama with a high of 79, to the northwest side of this with a temperature of 105. We actually were 98 in our area with very windy conditions, and intermittent clouds around us all day. It is humid outside, and if you are in the shade it is cool except when the wind blows that dry hot air, but in the sun it is brutal.
There is a high pressure dome over us that is creating that heat wave, so when the tropical storm goes further east, we will see out temps over 100 very quickly. With no relief in sight for the next 10 days.
Tropical Strom Debby is moving very slowly and getting a lot of rain, but not in Alabama. Just as the storm crosses into the state is dissipates and well, no rain. If this storm move to the west which is not likely, then we will see rain ourselves.
Overall, just another southern summer day with unpredictable things all around.

Sounds very complex, here, the suns shining.
