...Drier Day For Alabama...

After a round of severe thunderstorms yesterday afternoon and last night,
the weather in Alabama today will be much more tranquil, with a partly sunny
sky and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s this afternoon.

Over the weekend, a few scattered showers or storms could show up tomorrow
and Sunday, but on the positive side there will be some good intervals of
sunshine, and temperatures will rise into the upper 70s both days. Some
spots might even reach the 80 degree mark.

MORE SEVERE WEATHER? Another dynamic storm system will move out of the
southwest part of the nation late this weekend, and could bring the risk of
another round of strong to severe storms to Alabama Monday night.

While the wind fields should not be as strong as yesterday's system, the air
should be more unstable as the Gulf of Mexico should be "open" over the
weekend, allowing for a much higher degree of low level moisture. For now it
looks like the best chance of strong storms will come from about 6:00 p.m.
Monday through 3:00 a.m. Tuesday of next week.

A quick shot of cooler air will invade the state Tuesday, but we should warm
up nicely over the latter half of the week.

BAMA STORMS: One injury was reported in both Lynn and Eldridge yesterday due
to falling trees. The elementary school in Vernon had part of the roof blown
off; there were other reports of major structural damage across other parts
of Lamar County, as well as Marion, Fayette, Walker, and Winston Counties.
Dozens, and perhaps hundreds of trees were blown down as well. At the ABC
33/40 Weather Center in Riverchase, the storms dropped 1.32" of rain.
