...Isolated Strong Storm Today?...

GOOD MORNING: It's gonna be a warm one across Central Alabama on this
Saturday. In fact, temperatures will approach the warmest readings so far
this year. It was 91 back on April 18th and 19th. Temperatures will rise
into the upper 80s inmost locations with a few locations topping out at 90.
Not really anywhere near the record high for the date, which is 97F set four
years ago.

STORMS TODAY? While we will have warm temperatures this afternoon across
the area, moisture levels will be a little on the low side for widespread
storms. In addition, a fairly strong capping inversion will be in place
across the area, but the proximity of a cold frontal boundary to the north
of Alabama will likely spark a few isolated storms this afternoon. The WRF
model is more aggressive than either of the main forecasting model, and it
is usually good in handling such situations, so we will pay attention to it.
It Is not inconceivable that storms that do form have a chance to be severe.

SUNDAY: Tomorrow promises to be a lot like today, with the boundary hanging
around just to our north. This will give a chance of an isolated shower or
storm mainly to northern sections.. It will be another warm one tomorrow.

NEXT WEEK: The front begins to disintegrate by Monday, but occasional
disturbances in the northwest flow could deliver a shower or storm, but
chances are small for the foreseeable future. As a trough sets up over the
Northeast U.S. by midweek, a northwest to southeast frontal boundary will
set up across the South. We could see a little better chance of showers and
storms, especially by Thursday.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Things look unsettled for next weekend, with warm,
humid and showery conditions. Southern Gulf looks unsettled by the first
week of June also.

ON THIS DATE IN 1927: Charles Lindbergh took off from Long Island in
dreary, misting weather. Thirty three hours later, he landed in Paris, the
first
person to complete a trans Atlantic flight between New York and Paris.
