"From the mountains, to the prairies...to the oceans..."Well, we are doing it backwards this time.
I remember the best rains were those I experienced in the Appalachian Mountains; the air was clean and a mist would hang over the trees afterwards while the grass glistened in the setting sun…
Things will not be so pretty this week.
With a day of tornado warnings for Alabama and warnings still in the Panhandle of Florida, Fay has not yet stopped her pounding of the States.
Fay has started to move into the Appalachians which can cause flash flooding so she may soon be causing yet another problem. Mudslides are not out of the question as we saw with Charley, Ivan and Francis for those of you that remember. Rainfall totals could be up to 8 inches in some areas through this evening as Fay goes cross-country.
On the other hand, we now have Tropical Storm Gustav that appeared on the scene today and intensified quickly through the day. We had been watching this storm develop, but were actually surprised at how quick it got its name.
Models are coming together as for the future of Gustav which looks to be headed toward Haiti. At this time, we think that Gustav will probably curl around Florida and head into the Gulf, of course, entering dangerously warm waters around Saturday where he will probably be a decent Hurricane.
Brandi will stay on this in the tracking center and we will keep you posted. As for your local weather here in Nebraska, we are looking toward a frontal boundary that should roll through Tuesday night to give us our best chance of thunderstorms although I would not rule out any tonight. For a more detailed forecast, quit reading this and tune into KHAS!
Talk at ya tomorrow.
