...Summer Type Fare Ahead...
GOOD MORNING: A significant upper level disturbance will bring a good chance of showers and thunderstorms to Alabama tonight and Tuesday morning. After that, we will remain in the midst of a relatively unstable airmass into the weekend, giving us chances of showers and thunderstorms each day.
UPPER DISTURBANCE: Any patchy fog out there this morning will burn off quickly. Cirrus clouds from thunderstorm activity to the west of the area will blow across at times, giving us partly cloudy skies. There are some differences in the model solutions regarding the timing of the precipitation. Indications are that the main activity will occur tonight, with rain and storms reaching western sections of the state during the evening. The weather should move across the state overnight tonight and during the day on Tuesday.
REST OF THE WEEK: A warm, humid and unstable airmass will remain in place over Alabama behind the disturbance. This will give us a chance of showers and storms during the peak heating times of the daylight hours. Activity should be isolated to scattered in nature.
MAY RAIN FORETELLS FLORIDA HURRICANE SEASON: A meteorologist at the NWS Miami has linked the amount of rain that falls in Florida in May and the probability that a hurricane will make landfall in the state during the hurricane season. When the rainfall exceeds the average five inches in May, the chance of a hurricane hitting the Peninsula decreases. Last May was dry, with just two inches. Then four hurricanes hit the state. Fourteen inches fell in May 2003, and only one tropical storm bothered the state. May 1992 was the second driest ever and voila, Hurricane Andrew. Betsy came in the driest May ever. We will have to see.
ON THIS DATE IN 1905: Eighty seven people were killed in a tornado at Snyder OK. The tornados roar could be heard twelve miles away. Total path length forty miles. This ranks as the second worst tornado in Oklahoma history.
