GOOD AFTERNOON! Showers and thunderstorms have been occurring this morning
over parts of North Central, Central and South Alabama as surface trough
moved across the state. A cold front lies to the northwest of Alabama,
extending from low pressure in southwestern Kentucky back to Memphis and
then on into southeastern Arkansas and northeastern Texas.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms were developing across Central
Mississippi and then on into Central Alabama. Other storms were forming
along the Mississippi/Tennessee border. Skies had become partly cloudy over
northern Mississippi and northwestern Alabama. The increase in sunshine
could lead to further destabilization of the atmosphere. But overall, the
airmass over Alabama is much more stable than yesterday, and the SPC has
dropped the Slight Risk Outlook for severe weather for Alabama.

FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT: we will maintain a chance of showers and
storms for those storms that are trying to build from Central Alabama back
to the west and for any storms that form ahead of the front. The front
will push to the south of Birmingham overnight tonight, ending the chance of
showers and storms.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY: Those rain chances will be gone for awhile, with dry and
sunny conditions expected Sunday through Tuesday. We will deal with some
clouds early on Sunday, but fair skies should return by lunch. Dew points
are in the 70s across Alabama this afternoon. Behind the front, dew points
will drop into the refreshing middle and even lower 60s. This will allow
for comfortable overnight lows Monday morning and Tuesday morning. Another
weak front will approach Alabama late on Wednesday, bringing a slight chance
of rain then.

REST OF THE WEEK: The unseasonable upper level trough will begin to lift
out to the northeast by midweek. Another disturbance passing well to the
north of Alabama later in the week will bring another chance of showers and
storms in the Friday/Saturday time frame. The slow moving system will
continue to enhance rain chances through the weekend.

ON THIS DATE IN 1944: Just the year before, Col. James Duckworth had become
the first person to fly an airplane into the eye of a hurricane. The
hurricane that he flew into caused tremendous damage at oil production
facilities around the Houston area. This loss of production prompted the
military to order regular aircraft reconnaissance flights into hurricanes in
the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Famed hurricane forecaster
Grady Norton was put in charge or ordering the flights. Several flights
were made into tropical storms early in 1944. On this date, Col. Allan
Wiggins made the first authorized flight into the eye of a hurricane between
the U.S. and Bermuda.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: Tragedy in Papua, New Guinea near Australia as a
relatively small earthquake caused three tsunami as high as 45 feet to
strike the north coast. Over 2200 people died, many of them never found
because they were swept out to sea or devoured by saltwater crocodiles or
wild dogs. The waves destroyed five villages along an 18 mile stretch of
coastline.
