Sometimes Its Lonely Being a Shower

| September 28, 2012 @ 9:15 am

Meteorologists use words like scattered, widely scattered, isolated, numerous, and others to describe the coverage of showers. The intent, of course, is to convey an idea of how likely it is that you will see some rain.

I just happened to take a look at radar just after 9 am, and I saw what I think you can clearly see is a lone shower, a very lone shower! If you happen to be driving on I-20 at the Georgia/Alabama line, you probably encountered this lone shower! As you can see from the image below, it is the ONLY shower on radar situated right on I-20 between Oxford and Carrollton!

Radar Image of a Very Lone Shower

As James noted in his discussion, moisture levels have been slowly increasing and with a weak front expected in the area on Saturday and Sunday, we have a reasonably good chance of seeing some showers. And probably more that the lone shower we see this morning.

It must be lonely to be the ONLY shower in all of the Southeast US!!
