GOOD AFTERNOON: See you one week from today at the Storm Alert Xtreme
weather seminar at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center. Admission is free
and anyone who has an interest in weather will enjoy it. Brian Peters will
conduct both parts of his excellent SKYWARN training (basic and advanced)
which is critical for anyone who is interested in storm spotting. I will
give some tips on things that I have learned about beginning storm chasing
and share my experiences on the Plains this past spring.

ANOTHER MOSTLY GRAY DAY: For the fourth straight day, skies are mostly
cloudy out there across the area. I played golf yesterday, and I have to
tell you, it was rather enjoyable. Mostly cloudy, mild temperatures, a nice
southerly breeze. I'll take it! But, there isn't hardly any kind of
weather that I don't like. You probably already knew that. There has been
a little bit of sunshine from time to time in some areas, but it has been
spotty. Temperatures were in the upper 60s to lower 70s range in most
locales, with upper 70s by early afternoon in Montgomery.

SPECIAL INTEREST WEATHER: This forecast will cater to a couple of special
interests in the weather community. Lets go group by group.

STORM LOVERS: Our storm fans will enjoy a round of showers and storms
tonight ahead of a cold front. They should enter the northwestern sections
of the state during the evening hours and pass though the rest of Central
Alabama overnight. Some of the storms could be strong, but the chances for
any severe weather will be limited. I was afraid that the showers might
linger well into the morning hours on Sunday, but that does not look as
likely now. I think they will mostly be gone by the time you wake up in
most locations, although they will be a little slower to depart in areas
south of Birmingham. Sunshine will make a return appearance by tomorrow
afternoon, although it will not be in earnest until Monday.

HIGH PRESSURE FANS: High pressure will take control of Alabama's weather
for the remainder of the week. The high will slide down from the Great
Lakes during the week before taking up residence over North Carolina. This
high will act like a huge deflector shield, protecting Alabama from a cold
front over the Plains. All week long, we will experience a mix of sun and
clouds in varying degrees each day. The flow will go from northerly early
in the week to a southeasterly flow by midweek. This will be a relatively
moist flow, and will give us a higher preponderance of clouds, but it should
also be mild and dry. The high will gradually break down by the weekend,
allowing the front to push into Alabama early on Saturday. This will give
us a good chance of showers and perhaps some storms again on Saturday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1920: Famed research meteorologist Theodore Fujita, was
born in Kitakyushu City, Japan Fujita, known as "Mr. Tornado" after
developing the international standard for measuring tornado severity, also
discovered microbursts - sudden, severe downdrafts that can result in 150
mph winds on or near the ground - after studying the starburst patterns of
trees uprooted by tornadoes.
