Storm of the Month

Our August WINNER was the overall circulation detected with the remains of
Hurricane Erin as it moved northwestward into east Mississippi. This image was
taken on the evening of the 3rd as the eye crossed the Alabama border and the
storm gradually weakened to a depression. An interesting highlight of the
picture below was the blue colored "sunset spike"(not a tractor
beam!) that can be viewed on a daily basis with the WSR-88D. You also can easily
see the spiral banding structure of the system. Otherwise, individual strong
thunderstorms were few and far between during this month so the focus was on
using the Radar for tracking tropical systems.
