...Nice Day For Golf...

GOOD MORNING: Lots of folks heading out to the Regions Charity Golf
Tournament at Ross Bridge. And the weather will be nice for it with dry
conditions prevailing today. Skies should be fair to partly cloudy.
Temperatures will be in the upper 70s by mid-afternoon. High pressure over
eastern Iowa will maintain a hold on our weather today.

RAIN CHANCES RETURN: But signs of change are already on the horizon.
Things are not quite so positive for tomorrow. We will keep our fingers
crossed that it will not be a major rain event, but it does appear that rain
and storms will begin tonight after midnight and continue through at least
part of the day tomorrow. The unwelcome precipitation will be courtesy of a
wave of low pressure that will ripple along the surface front to our south.
So, rain gear will be something you will want to remember as you head to
Ross Bridge Sunday.

START OF THE NEW WEEK: By Monday morning, the low will be over the Smoky
Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina and drier air will
flow in the state. Consequently, Monday and Tuesday will be nice days with
highs in the 70s and low humidities. But change will once again be in the
cards by late in the day on Tuesday.

WEEK AHEAD: Low pressure to the west of Alabama will push a warm front back
over us by Wednesday. Showers and storms will move accompany the front.
Once we are in the warm sector of the cyclone, we will deal with a round of
showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and night. Some of them could
be severe.

ON THIS DATE IN 1975: Very large tornado kills 3 and does $250 million in
damage in Omaha NE, making it the most costly US tornado to that time. 133
were injured. The path of the storm was 10 miles long and up to 1/4 of a
mile wide. The tornado moved through the western section of town before
lifting over the northern part of the city, but not before it had destroyed
287 houses and damaged 1400 others. Excellent warnings kept the death toll
amazingly low.
