GOOD AFTERNOON: So far everything is on track with our forecast on this
first Saturday in June. Temperatures were warming nicely toward highs in
the middle 80s across the area with a good deal of sun balanced by a
moderate northerly wind. Our cold front was pushing through the Florida Big
Bend area south of Tallahassee this afternoon. Showers and storms were
accompanying the front.

REST OF AFTERNOON/TONIGHT: Skies should continue to clear over southern and
eastern sections of the area this afternoon, leaving clear and calm
conditions tonight. Lows will drop to around 60 in most areas, with a few
of the normally cooler spots hitting the upper 50s.
SUNDAY: Tomorrow looks to be a very nice day with abundant sunshine, warm
temperatures in the middle 80s and fairly moderate humidity. Throw in a
light north wind and it should be a good day weather wise. We may see some
clouds from a passing disturbance late on Sunday through Sunday night, but
any precipitation is expected to stay north of us.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Alabama will remain in northwesterly flow on the back side
of a large East Coast trough. This will keep us in a mostly dry weather
regime, although a thunderstorm complex or two could be aimed at us from
time to time. Temperatures will slowly climb, with readings back in the
upper 80s to near 90 by midweek.

ON THIS DATE IN 1995: Just three days into the 1995 Atlantic Hurricane
Season, Allison formed in the Caribbean and moved northward toward the
Florida coast, making landfall near Alligator Point early on June 5th. This
was only the beginning. There were a total of 19 named storms, 11 of which
reached hurricane strength. Only two seasons have seen more named storms:
1933 with 21 named storms and last year with an amazing 27 named storms.

The 1995 Atlantic Hurricane Season marked the beginning of the current trend
of increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin. The increase is part
of the multidecadal oscillation, regular cycle that sees warming of the
waters of the Atlantic basin that lasts about 15-20 years.
ON THIS DATE IN 1979: The roof of the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri
collapsed during a strong thunderstorm. Luckily, the facility was empty
when the roof fell.

ON THIS DATE IN 1980: The Grand Island, NE area is plagued by a slow moving
supercell thunderstorm that produced 7 tornadoes in three hours. One of the
twisters was an F4 while 3 others were F3. 5 fatalities and 193 injuries
resulted from the storm. Damage: $300 million.

ON THIS DATE IN 1860: The Great Camanche Tornado or the Great Tornado of
the Northwest was actually a family of twisters that moved across Iowa and
Illinois. It was one of the most damaging tornado families ever to strike
the US and resulted in more farm fatalities than any other tornado except
for the TriState tornado. The town of Camanche Iowa on the Mississippi
River was completely destroyed. A total of 175 people were killed and 329
were injured. Total damage $945,000.
