12:00 PM (Thursday) - ***”Caribbean Sea-to-Gulf of Mexico” significant tropical storm threat continues for later next week as changing weather pattern will result in enhanced upward motion***

Paul Dorian

The atmosphere is about to undergo a significant change over the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico which will result in enhanced upward motion in that part of the Atlantic Basin and this, in turn, increases the chance for the development of a hurricane later next week. The change in the atmosphere is largely the result of the re-positioning of a tropical disturbance that propagates eastward along the tropics on a regular basis. This undergoing pattern change with enhanced upward motion in the Atlantic Basin may, in fact, result in additional tropical activity that takes us passed this initial threat and well into the month of October.

**Changing weather pattern suggests a big-time tropical threat is possible in a week or so**

Paul Dorian

The Atlantic Basin tropical season became more active during the past couple of weeks after a relatively quiet stretch since mid-August and it looks like the increased action will persist into October. In fact, the evolving overall weather pattern has a chance to produce a serious tropical threat in about 7 to 10 days with the likely region of interest for initial formation and intensification extending from the Caribbean Sea to the Gulf of Mexico. The movement of a tropical disturbance that propagates eastward around the global tropics will create a change in the atmosphere that will lead to enhanced upward motion later next week over the still very warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. This pattern change will enhance the chances for tropical storm formation and intensification in this part of the Atlantic Basin. All residents across the Gulf and US east coasts should keep an eye on any tropical storm formation next week as the potential for a powerful storm system is quite high.

6:15 AM | **Threat of showers and thunderstorms continues for the next couple of days...some of the rain can be heavy at times**

Paul Dorian

The remnants of Francine pushed northward on Thursday and has grinded to a halt in the western part of the Tennessee Valley as it is being heavily influenced by strong high pressure ridging stationed over southern Canada. As a result, the tropical moisture associated with Francine will continue to have an influence on our weather with a continuing chance of showers and thunderstorms...some of the rain can be heavy at times. In fact, the lingering moisture will keep us unsettled enough this weekend for the chance of showers and thunderstorms on both Saturday and Sunday.

7:00 AM | ***Occasional showers and thunderstorms...some of the rain will be heavy...wind gusts to 40+ mph and isolated tornadoes on the table as Francine pushes northward to the west of here***

Paul Dorian

Hurricane Francine made landfall late yesterday in central Louisiana and will bring multiple impacts today and tonight to the Tennessee Valley. There will be occasional showers both today and tonight and possible embedded thunderstorms to go along with cooler and windy conditions with gusts to 40 mph or so. In addition, northern Alabama will be on the right side of the northward-moving tropical storm system, and it is in this sector where isolated tornadoes often develop. Any rain that falls today and tonight can be on the heavy side with flash flooding on the table; especially, in convective rain bands.
