...Back to Seasonable...

GOOD MORNING! Was it just me, or did it seem really chilly yesterday?
Well for Birmingham, in actuality, yesterday and today's high temperature
readings, as well as last night's low, were just about normal for this time
of year. Temperatures will remain near normal levels over the next seven
days thanks to a large trough of low pressure in the upper atmosphere that
will keep the back door open for cold air from Canada.

DRY WEEK AHEAD: High pressure over the midsection of the country is in
charge of the weather over much of the eastern half of the Nation on this
Saturday. The front that brought us the active weather on Thursday is over
the Florida Straits between the Keys and Cuba. The high will stay in charge
through most of the coming week. By Friday, it will be stretched out in a
thin ridge from Maine to Texas, looking like some sort of weather superhero
named Captain Elastic. Our newly minted weather character will valiantly
protect us from an approaching low pressure system and cold front. That
front should overcome our high pressure ally late on Friday and push through
the area early on Saturday.

SNEAK PEEK NEXT WEEKEND: With the Gulf of Mexico shut down for the time
being, don't look for much in the precipitation department with this front.
We will call for a few showers during the early morning hours on Saturday,
but that is about all. The rain should end during the day, with cooler
conditions and a breezy northwest wind during the afternoon.

FIRST TORNADO FATALITIES: Last year, the United States did not see its
first tornado fatality until April 20th, when eight people died in an F3
tornado at Utica, IL. Unfortunately, we did not have to wait very long this
year. An F3 tornado killed two people in Claiborne Parish LA and Union
County AR late Wednesday night.

ON THIS DATE IN 1958: There have been four hurricane reconnaissance planes
lost since the practice was started in the mid 1940s. Three have been lost
in the Pacific, one in the Atlantic. A WB-50 from the 54th Weather
Reconnaissance Squadron on Guam was lost during Supertyphoon Orphelia
southwest of Guam.
