...Showers/Storms Tonight...

GOOD MORNING! Yesterday marked the third straight day that low clouds and
fog hung tough until late in the afternoon over the area. Today will
feature lots of clouds again, but rather than breaking up, they will only
thicken as we go through time today. You will notice a southerly breeze and
temperatures will warm into the middle 70s on average across the area. We
will mention the chance of a shower as we go through the afternoon hours,
but most of the precipitation will hold off until tonight. As a matter of
fact, in Central Alabama, the bulk of the rain may well hold off until late
evening or after midnight. Then a band of showers and thunderstorms will
sweep through the state. Some of those storms could be severe, but the
extent of any severe weather that does occur will be limited and mainly over
Northwest Alabama. Sunday morning will feature cloudy skies with a chance
of showers continuing through the morning hours, perhaps up until lunchtime.
Skies will clear Sunday afternoon, allowing for some late day sunshine.

High pressure will be the watchword in Alabama weather during the coming
week. Northerly winds will continue a cool and dry flow across the Deep
South through Monday. By Tuesday, high pressure will strengthen to the east
of the state. This high pressure will remain in place through much of the
coming week as the upper air flow over the United States locks up in a
blocked pattern. Our temperatures will remain mild through the week,
staying just a tad above normal. The next rain chance will come next
weekend as the high weakens.

ON THIS DATE IN 1987: Montgomery recorded its ninth record low of the month
as unseasonable chill continued to grip the Southeast.

ECLIPSE FORECAST: The second lunar eclipse of the year will be visible this
coming Thursday night. It will begin at 8:14 p.m. with totality beginning
at 9:23 p.m. The total phase will last 1 hour and 21 minutes. The weather
looks good for eclipse viewing with fair skies expected.
