...Nice Weekend In Store...

GOOD MORNING! After a stormy Friday here in Alabama, things are going to be tranquil comparatively all weekend. Get ready for lots of sunshine and mild temperatures today, but temperatures will be on the warm side on Sunday. A weak cold front will approach late on Sunday, increasing our clouds and bringing a small chance of an overnight shower. Behind the front, a northwesterly flow regime will be in power through midweek. Can’t rule out a passing thunderstorm complex, but we won’t put it in the forecast now. Cooler air behind the front will keep our temperatures closer to normal through most o the coming week. Tomorrow’s readings in the mid to upper 80s may be the warmest we see for a while.

RECORD BIN: Several record high temperatures were set on Friday to the west of Alabama. Way out west, Casper WY tied their record high for the date with 87F. Sizzling weather in Arizona, where the reading of 105F broke the old record for the date by three degrees. It was 106F in Phoenix (also a record.) Closer to home, the 95F in Little Rock was a new record for the date. Memphis recorded a new record with 94F.

DEADLY PHENOMENON: Do you know that this natural phenomenon kills more people each year than flooding and lightning? It kills more than tornadoes and hurricanes combined. A hint: if you are heading to the beach in the next few weeks, you need to be prepared for it. What is it? Find out all weekend in the Weather Talk.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: The tiny island of Tristan da Cunha is regarded to be the most remote inhabited island on earth. It is located in the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,000 miles from South Africa and 1,000 miles from South America. A territory of the United Kingdom, the volcanic island is only 38 square miles. Much of the island was destroyed by a very strong non-tropical cyclone on this date in 2001. The storm struck with winds of 120 mph, damaging or destroying nearly every building on the island. Reportedly, all 300 residents suffered property damage.
