...Warm Sunday...

GOOD MORNING! Temperatures soared across Alabama on Saturday. Every
official reporting station in Central Alabama reached 80 degrees, including
83 at the Birmingham Airport and Pinson. It was 84 in Tuscaloosa, which
tied them with Dothan for the state's hot spot. Temperatures will be
generally as warm again today across the area. Skies should become partly
cloudy later this morning.

SEVERE WEATHER TODAY: A big trough of low pressure continues across the
middle part of the country today. Low pressure at the surface is moving
from Colorado into western Kansas this morning. Warm, moist air covers a
large area out ahead of the cyclone. A strong upper level jetstream will
move across the warm sector this afternoon and tonight, creating the
necessary large scale lift to allow for widespread thunderstorm development.
An outbreak of severe weather is likely across areas from northeastern Texas
to Central Illinois and Indiana.

OUR WEATHER: There is a slight chance of a shower or isolated storm today
across the area, but the chance is very small. Skies will become cloudy
overnight, with lows dropping to near 60 degrees. Our Midwestern storm
system will track northeastward through Monday, pushing a cold front our
way.

With an unstable airmass in place, showers and storms will be on the
increase during the day. Some of the storms ahead of the main line could
become severe during the afternoon. Then a line of strong to severe storms
will move through the state during the late afternoon.

Skies will clear on Tuesday as cooler air spreads into the state. Wednesday
should be a nice day, with lots of sunshine and near normal temperatures in
the mid 60s. Another cold front will approach on Thursday, bringing us
another chance of showers and thunderstorms.

ON THIS DATE IN 1988: A violent hail storm struck Kathmandu, Nepal, during
a soccer game at the national stadium. About 80 fans, seeking shelter from
the storm, were trampled to death as the stadium doors were locked.
