...Wet Memorial Day Ahead...

GOOD MORNING! Well, I've got bad news and I've got good news. The bad news
is that Alabama will likely experience a wet Memorial Day weekend. What's
the good news. It seems that Alabama will likely experience a wet Memorial
Day weekend.

BREAKING DOWN THE FORECAST: The upper flow over the United States is
dominated by a large, irregularly shaped upper low over the northern tier of
states. Below the low, a fast, relatively flat flow prevails. A couple of
ripples passing to the north of Alabama will nudge a weak cool front through
the area this morning. Ahead of and along the front, a few showers and
perhaps a storm or two will be occurring. Those showers should slide
further south during the day, leading to some sunshine.

Skis should be fair tonight, into the early morning hours on Sunday. Lows
tonight will drop into the upper 50s. Clouds will return during the day on
Sunday, along with increasing chances for showers and storms as our front
comes back north as a warm front.

Low pressure may be in a favorable position on Monday to give us a high
chance of showers and thunderstorms. That is not good news for outdoor
activities, but our forecast is not poured in concrete, and we reserve the
right to modify it at anytime this weekend in favor of better weather
prospects.

If the low is to our northwest on Monday, storms could be strong and
rainfall amounts could be heavy. We will be monitoring these possibilities.
Rainfall may well continue into Tuesday, and amounts between now and then
may well average above two inches.

Skies will clear temporarily Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, but there
are indications that another disturbance will bring showers and potentially
strong storms Wednesday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1942: Iowa experiences its latest snowstorm of record. 10
inches fell at LeMars. Afternoon highs did not move out of the lower 30s in
the northwestern part of the state.
