It’s a battle of the tropical cyclones playing out right over Alabama tonight…
Over West Alabama, we see the outer feeder band of Gustav, bringing showers across that side of the state. Some thunder is mixed in down around Greene, Hale and Sumter counties.
And across South Central Alabama, a neat little area of converging air at the surface from Jefferson and Shelby Counties down to the Montgomery area. To the east of the line, surface winds are out of the east. You could trace those winds back to Hannah. Behind the line, the winds are out of the south. As the air collides, we get showers in that thin line. We will call that the battleground between Gustav and Hannah.
The convergence line is moving northward while the feeder band crreps slowly to the east.
More on our tropical troubles later tonight…it is going to be interesting over the next ten days.
