...Warm and Humid...

GOOD MORNING: It was a very entertaining flight yesterday afternoon winging
back to Birmingham from Baltimore. The pilot was weaving his way between
very tall thunderstorms over southern Virginia and eastern Tennessee, like a
football runner dodging tacklers. The further south that we flew, the
thunderstorms became more widely spaced and eventually thinned out
completely.

CAP: Despite the fact that there was a warm, moist and potentially
unstable airmass over North Alabama, a warm layer aloft acted as a lid of
the
atmosphere, preventing convection.

OVERNIGHT STORMS: You can trace the storms that fired over Tennessee back
to a disturbance created by a Thursday night storm complex back over Kansas.
Storms fired in the very unstable, but barely capped environment over
Arkansas and western Tennessee during the evening. These storms weakened as
they moved into North Alabama during the late evening.

STORMS TODAY/SUNDAY: The storms left a legacy of boundaries across North
Alabama that will be a focus for storm development today. The airmass will
be conditionally unstable again today and tomorrow. I have a hunch storm
chances will be a bit higher on Sunday.

MEMORIAL DAY FORECAST: High pressure will set up over the Mid Atlantic
states by Monday, giving us a more easterly flow. This may tone our
temperatures down 2-4 degrees. Scattered thunderstorms will be a part of
the forecast for your barbecue activities.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Scattered PM storms will be a mainstay through much of the
week ahead. With the increased cloudiness and precipitation, highs will be
in the middle 80s. A front may slide through late on Thursday, giving us
less humidity for Friday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1973: Today is one of the most famous days in Alabama
weather history. A late season outbreak of tornadoes ripped across North
and
Central Alabama, devastating places like Brent and Center Point. Read more
about the historic day in today's Weather Talk.
