...Sunny Saturday...

GOOD MORNING: Greetings from Decatur, where I am attending the Austin High School tennis tournament. As I write this late on Friday evening, it is a chilly 39 degrees. I thought that tennis was a warm weather sport?

TODAY/TONIGHT: Temperatures will be right around normal across the area today, with readings topping out in the lower 60s. Overnight lows tonight will be a few degrees warmer than last night, with minimum readings in the middle to upper 30s in most locations.

SUNDAY: Tomorrow will feature partly cloudy skies and temperatures just a tad warmer than those of today. Our winds will shift around to the southwest ahead of a system that will be passing to our north. It will lead to an increase in cloudiness Sunday night with a slight chance of a shower across northern parts of the area.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Sunshine should return during the day on Monday. High pressure will maintain a hold on Alabama weather Tuesday, giving us sunny skies. Low pressure will be moving out onto the Plains by Wednesday morning. We could see a chance of a shower by then. Showers and storms will be likely Wednesday night and Thursday as intensifying low pressure passes to our north. It appears that strong high pressure parked over the western Atlantic will deflect this low far enough to the north to prevent a widespread outbreak of severe weather.

ROUND TWO: That anchoring high pressure will keep Alabama in a southerly flow. This will keep Alabama in a moist pattern into the weekend. A second, weaker low pressure system will eject into the Midwest by late in the weekend, dragging a slow moving cold front our way. Look for heavy rains, and possible severe weather with this system.

ON THIS DATE IN 1909: Massive snowstorm during President Taft’s Inauguration. Fair weather had been forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau, which led to great criticism of the service. 9.8 inches of snow in the nation’s capital. Travel and communications were disrupted. It was the largest snowstorm in Presidential Inaugural history.
