...Strong Storms Ahead...

GOOD MORNING! Lots of talk around the weather office about the possibility of severe weather Monday night. People talking about bringing Pop-tarts and doughnuts, because it could be a long night. (Doughnuts are an important nutritional staple during long weather events.)

If the low pressure system ends up north of Alabama on Monday, we will be in the warm sector and strong to severe thunderstorms will be very possible across Alabama, especially Monday night into early Tuesday, followed by a strong squall line. It is our spring storm season in Alabama and you will want to review your preparedness plans and pay close attention to later forecasts and discussions right here.

WEEKEND WEATHER A cold front will move across the state tonight, but its origins are Pacific in nature and there won’t be a big temperature difference across the front. There could be a few spotty showers today, but rainfall amounts will be light. Sunday promises to be nice with partly cloudy skies and mild temps.

NEXT WEEK: After the severe weather departs early on Tuesday, skies should clear by Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are looking nice with another storm due in Saturday.

SPECIAL FEATURE: All weekend long, we will be highlighting the 20 deadliest twisters ever to strike the state. Five of them occurred on March 21, 1932, Alabama’s deadliest day of tornadoes. See today’s edition of Weather Talk.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: A two day snowstorm dumped up to seven feet of snow on parts of Colorado and Wyoming, closing interstates, shutting down businesses and schools, and stranding 4000 travelers at Denver International Airport, and even ripping the airport’s soaring cloth roof. You would expect that such a disruptive storm would be a bad thing, but not for residents of drought weary Colorado. The wet, heavy snow provided as much as forty percent of the annual precipitation for many Front Range cities and towns. The 5.2 inches of melted equivalent at Fort Collins, Colorado was the most at that location in 114 years. Water experts gleefully reported that the snow would help replenish reservoirs and eliminate the need for watering landscapes for quite some time.
