...Storms Mainly East Today...

GOOD MORNING: After a weekend of at least some rainfall for most locations across Central Alabama, it looks like we will be moving back into a dry weather pattern for much of the coming week.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: A surface low is near Tallahassee this morning. Our haggard, diffuse stationary front is draped across Alabama from Anniston to Montgomery to near Evergreen. The low will move northward today, tracking along the Georgia/Alabama border. As it does, it will pull drier air into Alabama from the west. A few showers will be possible this morning across the area, but as we head through the day, precipitation will become more isolated west of I-65. Showers and storms will be scattered across East Alabama again today, in closer proximity to the low and along the frontal boundary. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s to near 90 for the most part today.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Dry conditions will prevail through Thursday. Scattered PM storms will return Friday with a better chance on Saturday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: On the morning of June 26, 1957, residents along the Louisiana coast felt a feeling of fear and apprehension as the all-too familiar twin square black and orange square pennants that signify hurricane warning were hoisted. Louisianans were no strangers to hurricanes, but in Cameron Parish in the southwestern corner of the state, residents felt a false sense of security. There had been no major hurricane in the area since 1917 and only eight tropical storms and one hurricane in the previous twenty years. The low lying area of Cameron Parish truly was a sportsman’s paradise with marshlands and waterways extending far inland from the little coastal communities like Holly Beach. Audrey would undergo an unforecast intensification, reaching category four status before inundating the area with a 12 foot storm surge. 390 people perished.
