...Tranquil Weather Continues...

A rather uneventful weather pattern will continue across Alabama and the
deep south for the next seven to ten days. Today will be dry and cool again
with a mix of sun and clouds; temperatures will remain well below normal for
early May.

A trough in the upper atmosphere will bring an increase in clouds to the
state tonight, and it might squeeze out a little light rain or a few
sprinkles during the day tomorrow. Moisture will be very limited, and most
communities won't get enough rain to settle the dust. Sunshine returns on
Friday as warming trend begins.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: At this point the weather looks excellent for the weekend;
lots of sunshine on both days with warmer afternoons. We should reach the
upper 70s on Saturday, and low 80s by Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: The main rain producing systems should remain west and north of
Alabama as an upper air ridge holds in place over the southeast U.S. In
fact, some of the computer models suggest it will be about 10 to 12 days
before another major rain event returns to Alabama.

ANOTHER TORNADO: National Weather Service survey teams have discovered yet
another tornado track from severe storms this past Saturday morning. An F1
tornado was on the ground for 16 miles through the general area where Clay,
Randolph, Tallapoosa, and Chambers counties come together. Three brick
buildings were heavily damaged in downtown Wadley. Most of the damage along
the track involved downed trees. In all, seven tornadoes have been confirmed
during the pre-dawn severe weather outbreak.

RAIN UPDATE: Birmingham's rain total for the year is now 17.11", still
almost four inches below normal (3.97").
