...More Wet Weather Ahead...

GOOD MORNING! Wet weather will continue across Alabama for the next forty eight hours thanks to a wavy front stretched across the southern United States. Low pressure developing over eastern Texas this morning will push the front back northward as a warm front today. Showers will be increasing along and ahead of the front as it retreats. Behind the front, the airmass will be sufficiently unstable for the production of showers and even a few thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight as the Texas low moves over us.

START OF THE WEEK: By tomorrow morning, another low pressure system is expected to form and move into Southwest Alabama. As this low passes, a cold front will push across the state. Showers and a few storms will continue during the morning hours, ending fro the west during the day. Northwesterly winds will spread drier and cooler air into Alabama. Skies should clear Monday night and temperatures will drop to near freezing.

REST OF THE WEEK: Dry weather should then prevail through Thursday. The next storm system may bring a chance of showers into Alabama late on Friday into Saturday.

IN THE RECORD BIN: More moldy oldie records fell along the East Coast on Saturday. It has never been warmer in Atlantic City on January 21st when the mercury hit 62F. 64F in Trenton, 50F in Bangor ME, 63F in Central Park, 62F at Dulles Airport in Washington and 64F at Trenton, NJ were all record highs for the date.

ON THIS DATE IN 1922: An unseasonable F4 tornado leveled the northern part of the town of Moundville in Alabama a little after midnight, killing 37 people and injuring 63. The tornado reportedly glowed with a phosphorescent glow. The northern part of the town was destroyed and only one building was left standing. Bodies were blown as far as one half mile. An engineer on a northbound Great Southern train saw the destruction right after it occurred, and backed his train 12 miles in reverse to the town of Akron, where he sent a telegram for help.
