...Severe Weather Today...

GOOD MORNING: Alabama experienced a record number of tornadoes in 2005, and
2006 wasted no time in getting the severe weather year started in the state.

SEVERE WEATHER TODAY: Thunderstorms are ongoing this morning over Alabama
ahead of an upper level trough of low pressure. The system slowed
materially overnight, delaying the onset of the storms and severe weather.

The Storm Prediction Center has much of the eastern two thirds of Alabama
included in a Moderate Risk Outlook for Severe Weather today.

The storms will continue moving from west to east this morning. Strong
instability and wind shear will continue to produce a significant threat of
severe weather, including large hail and tornadoes. The storms will move
into Georgia by early afternoon.

Behind this morning's storms, skies will clear partially, allowing some sun
to break through. The airmass will become very unstable again, and more
storms will fire ahead of the cold front during the afternoon. These storms
will be capable of producing lots of large hail, like the ones last
Wednesday.. Temperatures should range from middle 60s over the East and to
near 70 in the West.

Skies may become cloudy again overnight as low clouds wrap back around into
the area. Lows tonight will drop into the middle 40s across the area.
Skies should clear later on Tuesday.

REST OF THE WEEK: Another system will pass on Wednesday, and though it will
be mostly dry, it will be the start to a change to colder. Some wraparound
clouds will be over the area for much of Thursday. Northerly flow will
continue to pump in cold air into early in the weekend. Highs may remain in
the 40s on Thursday and may even stay in the 30s on Friday. There might
even be a few light showers on Friday, or possibly even a few snow flurries.

BE PREPARED: Be alert to the latest warnings today. Take time to review
your weather safety plan now.
