GOOD AFTERNOON: It has been a gorgeous day across the area on this
Saturday. Lots of blue skies, warm sunshine and mild temperatures have been
the course of the day weatherwise after a chilly start this morning.

MORNING LOWS: Every major reporting station in the state with the exception
of Selma, Mobile-Brookley and Dothan registered lows in the 30s this
morning. Some of the notable lows included:

32 at DeSoto State Park
32 at Fort Payne Airport
34 at Pinson
34 at Meridianville
36 at Troy
37 at Cullman
38 at Birmingham Airport
38 at Shelby County Airport

Readings tonight will be some 6-8 degrees warmer than last night across the
area. This will translate into lows in the lower to middle 40s in most
locales.

SUNDAY WEATHER: Tomorrow will be a repeat performance of today's fine
conditions, with near total sunshine, light winds and mild temperatures
again. Readings on Sunday will be in the lower to middle 70s. That's
getting pretty near perfect in my book.

THE WEEK AHEAD: A reinforcing shot of cool air will arrive in the state
tomorrow, but it is expected to be dry and almost cloudless even.
Temperatures will fall back into the middle to upper 60s on Monday behind
the front, and will stay there though much of the coming week. The big
cutoff low off the California coast will move into the southwestern United
States, weakening with time. It will open into a trough and move out onto
the Plains. As it does, a ridge of high pressure will build over the
Southeast, keeping us in fine weather through midweek. By Thursday, the
trough will be approaching Alabama, putting a southwesterly flow over us.

This will increase clouds over Alabama and bring back a chance of showers. A
cold front will approach the state, bringing a chance of showers and
thunderstorms on Friday. We will be under the influence of an upper level
trough during the weekend, which will allow more cool air. Many areas may
experience a freeze by next Saturday morning.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Police departments across the South fielded calls
from alarmed citizens as a shimmering displays of green, blue and red lit
the skies. Some people called wondering if they were being bombed. But the
unusual light show was simply an unusually intense display of the aurora
borealis, or northern lights. The dazzling atmospheric show is rarely seen
south of Alaska and Canada, but was clearly visible on this night as far
south as northern Alabama and Georgia. The display was the result of an
intense solar flare that had occurred 3 nights before, sending unusually
high amounts of charged particles into the earth's atmosphere.

ON THIS DATE IN 1953: Early east coast snow storm dumps 27 inches of snow
in Pennsylvania mountains and wind gusts of 98 mph at Block Island, RI.
Other snowfall totals -- Philadelphia 8 inches, Washington DC 4 inches,
Richmond VA 3 inches.
