..Dry and Hot Weekend...

GOOD MORNING! Well, a little interesting weather yesterday as we watched an
outflow boundary leftover from an overnight thunderstorm complex back over
Arkansas. The little mini-cool front raced southeastward into North Alabama
during the late morning hours. As it did, a line of thunderstorms formed
along the boundary. There was quite a bit of dry air present in the
mid-levels of the atmosphere, which is an efficient setup for downbursts,
which can produce damaging winds. There were a couple of reports of wind
damage in Madison County during the early afternoon.

Two sets of thunderstorms merged over Tuscaloosa County and looked
impressive for a while on radar as they crossed into Jefferson County.
Winds gusted to 31 mph at the ABC3340 Weathernet site at Legion Field.
These storms began to weaken as they moved into an area of warmer mid level
temperatures over Central Alabama, but they put out their own outflow
boundary that produced more storms over eastern Jefferson County. These
storms would become severe over Talladega County, and produced wind damage
in Cleburne County. The biggest storm of the day affected West Alabama
later in the afternoon. This storm produced 1.75 inch hail near Epes in
Sumter County, along with numerous trees down.

OUR FORECAST: Today and Sunday will be dry, with mostly sunny and hot
conditions. Winds will become southerly again by Monday, bringing back
moisture and giving us the traditional summertime forecast of scattered
afternoon and evening storms. There are some signs that an upper level low
will try to form over the Southeast late in the week, increasing our rain
chances.

TROPICS: The tropical wave over the Central Caribbean will be of interest
as it moves west northwest toward the Yucatan and the southern Gulf of
Mexico early in the week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1986: Amazingly, an F2 tornado at Jacksonville, NC that
killed three people was the deadliest twister of the year in 1986 as the
United States experienced only fifteen tornado deaths during the year (an
all-time low since records began in 1916.)
