GOOD AFTERNOON: It has been a refreshing day across Central Alabama. Not
refreshing in the sense of crisp and clear, but refreshing in the way of
cloudy and relatively cool. A band of high cloudiness along a cold front
has limited out temperature climb. North of the band of clouds, sunshine
has been plentiful, and temperatures have climbed into the middle 80s across
the Tennessee Valley. Under the clouds, readings had just broken the 80
degree mark in places like Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. But sunshine was
increasing in force across the area and readings may still have time to get
close to our original projected high of 89.

RADAR QUIET...FOR NOW: At noon, Doppler radars across Alabama were mostly
silent. How much is that going to change? A few light showers were showing
up in Dallas County and over in Chambers and Tallapoosa County near the
Georgia border. This zone from north of Columbus, GA over to near Selma
should be the favored zone for development this afternoon. Most of the
models keep us dry through the afternoon and overnight. But we can't rule
out a shower or storm, and I will caution that the NAM model does show a few
showers tonight in the I-20 corridor, so I will mention that in the
forecast.

MOVING TOWARD MONDAY: I think moisture creeps back just a bit to the north
tomorrow. As it does, scattered showers and storms will form south of I-20
with only isolated storms to the north. Again, there are hints that a few
showers might form in the I-20 corridor Monday night. Temperatures tomorrow
should top out around 90. .

REST OF THE WEEK: Scattered mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms
should be the weather word on Tuesday as the front meanders north across the

area. I think shower and storms chances will be slightly enhanced on
Wednesday or Thursday as a disturbance currently in the southwestern Gulf of
Mexico moves northward into southern Teas and eventually rounds the ridge of
high pressure along the Gulf Coast. As it does, it could enhance our shower
and storm chances just a bit by then.

WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND: By Friday, it is hard to go against a forecast of
scattered afternoon showers and storms, but we will call for high pressure
to build at the surface, limiting our shower and storm chances. Scattered
storms will develop on Saturday, but will be a little more likely on Sunday
as a cold front tries to invade the area from the north.

ON THIS DATE IN 1993: Tornadoes hit South Carolina in wake of dying
Hurricane Danny, including one that leveled a duplex apartment and killed a
32-year-old woman. A Charlotte, North Carolina, railroad trestle gave way,
plunging a CSX locomotive into Little Sugar Creek. Crew members escaped
unharmed. 6.88 inches of rain fell in Charlotte, breaking the 24 hour
record of 5.91 inches that had been set in July 1944. A record 6.14 inches
fell between midnight at 2 p.m. Up to 10 inches fell in other parts of
south-central North Carolina.
