...Red Letter Day...

GOOD MORNING: Today we remember the Palm Sunday tornado that ripped through the Goshen United Methodist Church near Piedmont. More in a moment...

WARM UP AHEAD: Calm and mostly clear conditions overnight led to more cold conditions with a freeze in a few locations. Those calm winds will pick up out of the south today, bringing in warmer air. Readings this afternoon will warm into the middle 60s for the most part. Clouds will be slowly increasing through the day, becoming cloudy overnight in response to an approaching storm system.

Rain will invade western and northern sections late tonight with showers and maybe a few rumbles of thunder through Tuesday morning as a front settles into Central Alabama. The proximity of that front and a series of disturbances in a moist southwesterly flow will continue the shower chances through Thursday.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEEKND: A more organized storm system will begin approaching from the west late Thursday night. It will spread an area of showers and thunderstorms across the state beginning around lunchtime on Friday. It appears that the system will be weakening as it runs into the brick wall of the subtropical ridge over the Atlantic. Showers should diminish during the day Saturday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1994: What began as a peaceful Palm Sunday quickly changed to a black day day in Alabama weather history when a powerful tornado ripped through northeast Alabama and northern Georgia. By the time the storm was over twenty-two were dead and ninety-two were injured by the twister. An F4 tornado cut a 50 mile path from Ragland in St. Clair, County Alabama to the Georgia line. The most disastrous damage occurred at Goshen, where the twister struck the Goshen United Methodist Church at 11:37 am. Twenty people were killed at the church, which did not hear the tornado warning issued ten minutes earlier by the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
