...Beautiful Weekend...

GOOD MORNING! Greetings from our nation's capital. The weather here is
very similar to the weather back home in Alabama, thanks to high pressure
that is centered over New England this morning. A ridge of high pressure
extends down into the southeastern United States. The ridge is sending cool
and dry air our way on easterly winds. Temperatures in D.C. today will top
out near 60, while where you are in Central Alabama, highs will make the
lower 70s. We both will enjoy sunny skies. Under clear skies tonight, lows
will bottom out in the middle 40s.

REST OF YOUR WEEKEND: Tomorrow looks to be a lot like today, with lots of
sunshine. Readings tomorrow will be in the middle 70s again.

NEXT WEATHER MAKER: High pressure will continue its strong grip in Alabama
into the middle part of next week. The high will slide far enough to the
east by Wednesday to allow a decent return of moisture across the area. We
will see increasing clouds by that time, with a slight chance of a shower.

It will be more of the same on Thursday. Friday will feature a better
chance of showers and a few storms, especially during the overnight hours,
nut rainfall amounts are expected to be light. Temperatures will be mild
through the end of the week.

SNEAK PEEK NEXT WEEKEND: Taking out the crystal ball...dusting it
off...plugging it in...and let's see. Looks like a low may be moving to the
north of us Saturday during the day. This would explain the showers Friday.
Behind the low, our winds will become northwesterly on Saturday, giving us
kind of a cloudy, blustery day, with a few showers around. A cool flow will
be with us on Sunday also, as the big low hangs up over the Atlantic coastal
states.

ON THIS DATE IN 1990: But I swear I sent it. Many federal tax returns
being loaded into a truck were blown away in Oklahoma City by a violent
thunderstorm with nearly 100 mph wind gusts. Will Roger's Airport in
Oklahoma City recorded wind gust to 93 mph, strongest there in 24 years.
