...Clouds But Not Much Rain...

An upper air trough will swing through Alabama today, and will bring some
clouds but not much rain. Low level moisture is extremely limited; most
communities west of I-65 will see no rain at all, and over the eastern side
of the state a little light rain or a few sprinkles are possible. Most spots
will not have enough rain to settle the dust. The sky will clear tonight as
the trough moves on to the east.

WARMER DAYS: Sunshine returns tomorrow as a nice warming trend begins. We
should be in the mid 70s tomorrow, and then close to 80 by Saturday and
Sunday afternoon with a good deal of sunshine each day.

NEXT WEEK: The longer range computer models suggest the next opportunity of
rain will come around Tuesday of next week as a weakening cold front moves
into Alabama. The best upper air support will pass north of the state, but a
few showers and storms will be possible.

MORE DAMAGE REPORTS: NWS survey teams report more damage from the pre-dawn
storms this past Saturday morning, April 30. Trees and power lines were
blown down in Marengo county near Myrtlewood and Linden; the damage was
determined to be from straight line winds between 4:45 and 5:30 a.m. A total
of seven tornadoes were confirmed during the event in other parts of the
state; all F0 or F1.

AIR QUALITY: A code yellow forecast for the Birmingham metro area today;
meaning air quality is expected to be moderate. The pollutant is
particulates, not ozone. Most of our ground level ozone problems come along
during the summer heat in June, July, and August.

TRIPLE DIGITS: Hot spot in the nation yesterday with Death Valley, CA with
100.
