...Good Looking Monday...

GOOD MORNING: After a refreshing overnight and a beautiful race Sunday,
more nice conditions are on tap for today here in Central Alabama. The
midweek forecast is a little iffy, but the upcoming weekend looks really
nice.

EARLY WEEK FORECAST: A huge ridge of high pressure extends all the way from
Alberta in western Canada down across the Plains and into Alabama. This
cool high pressure is giving us our current spate of fine weather. We had
been hinting at a slight chance of showers overnight tonight and on Tuesday,
but that looks unlikely at this time. I guess we can't rule out an isolated
shower, but chances are rather low. Skies will be partly cloudy today and
Tuesday, but they may be briefly cloudy tomorrow morning.

MIDWEEK SYSTEM: The uncertain factor is the development of a low in the
western Gulf by midweek. The GFS has shown this feature consistently for
several runs. The track of the low will determine how much rain falls in
Central Alabama. A more northerly track might bring heavy amounts into
South and Southeast Alabama Thursday. For now, amounts look light.

BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND IN STORE: High pressure will build in starting on Friday,
with clearing skies. Partly cloudy and warm weather will prevail all
weekend. Highs might make the middle 80s Saturday and Sunday.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Devastating flash flooding struck the Tug Fork River
that separates Kentucky and West Virginia for the second time in ten months.
The river crested 20 feet above normal after heavy rains fell during a short
time period on the mountainous region. At least six people died in the
resultant flooding. Several counties in West Virginia were declared
disaster areas. 375 homes and 30 businesses were damage din Pike County KY
along with hundreds left homeless. 100 homes were damaged in Hurley VA.

Many people had to be rescued. In Fort Gay WV, thousands were left without
water after millions of gallons of coal waste spilled into the town's
drinking supply, the third such occurrence in just three years.
