...A Very Warm May Day...

Very warm to hot weather will continue to be our big weather headline here
in Alabama for the next five to seven days. Each afternoon, the mercury will
rise into the 86 to 90 degree range, with low 90s possible in isolated
spots.

Today, warm air aloft will make for a rather stable atmosphere, and we
believe any afternoon showers or storms will be very isolated.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms should
be a little more numerous tomorrow and Friday in response to an upper air
wave passing north of Alabama. Still, the chance of any one spot getting wet
is only about one in four both afternoons.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: No big change in our weather for the coming holiday
weekend. The weather will be hot and humid with a good deal of sunshine on a
daily basis.. And, as usual in late May, a passing afternoon shower or
thunderstorm will be possible. At this point it looks like afternoon storms
over the weekend will be widely scattered. Highs will be close to 90 degrees
for most Alabama communities.

AT THE BEACH: About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine along the Alabama and Northwest
Florida Gulf coast through the weekend. Showers and storms will be widely
scattered, and the sea water temperature at the coast is running in the mid
70s., Tropical storm formation is not expected in the Gulf of Mexico for at
least the next five to seven days.

HODGEPODGE: Hottest spot in the nation yesterday was Wink, Texas with 108
degrees. The cold spots early yesterday were both in Arizona; Bellemont and
Fort Valley dropped to 23 degrees. Birmingham's rain total for the year is
24.10", a surplus of 5.62".
