...A Cool Pattern For May...

The calendar says May, but weather maps look more like January this morning.
A deep upper low is setting up shop north of Alabama, and won't budge much
over the next five days. This will mean below normal temperatures, cloudy
periods, and a few showers along the way.

TODAY: We should enjoy a good supply of sunshine today across Alabama with
highs in the low 70s, almost ten degrees below normal for mid-May. The
humidity will be low, and visibility will be excellent.

THE WEEKEND: Clouds will slip into the state, and a disturbance rotating
around the upper low will bring the chance of a few showers late tomorrow
and tomorrow night. Some scattered light rain could linger into Sunday
morning. Rainfall amounts should be light and spotty, and there is no chance
of severe weather.

We should mention, however, that the air aloft will be extremely cold this
weekend, and even light rain showers might produce some small hail in
scattered spots.

Another shot of cool air moves in here Sunday, keeping highs only in the
60s. We should drop into the 40s both Monday and Tuesday morning. A few
widely scattered showers, or patches or light rain are possible early next
week, mainly north of Birmingham.

MAY SNOW? The highest elevations of the Great Smoky mountains in East
Tennessee and western North Carolina might see a few snow flakes by Sunday
night and early Monday.

BAMA TORNADO: A survey team from the NWS determined damage in Marengo County
between Jefferson and Linden was from an F1 tornado, on the ground for 1.4
miles Wednesday afternoon around 3:00.
