==================================================================

It seems that we will be heading into a wetter pattern over the next few
days, thanks to a cold front to our north. The front will approach the
northern border of Alabama tomorrow night. In advance of the front, storms
will form. The timing of the front will be critical as always as to where
the storms fire tomorrow. And, if the storms fire during the afternoon
hours, they could be on the strong side again.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: At the surface, our cold front extends across the
central part of the country, anchored by low pressure over southeast
Michigan and northeast Oklahoma. The weak low that we have been tracking
just off th East Coast all week in near Jacksonville, bur its chance to
strengthen may have passed.

TONIGHT: Any isolated storms that do form will quickly die down overnight,
leaving fair skies and muggy conditions. Overnight readings will drop into
the lower and middle 70s.

SUNDAY: The day may get off to another partially cloudy start, but sunshine
should return fairly quickly. Thunderstorms may sag down into North
Alabama. Those storms should increase by late afternoon or early evening.
Some of them could become strong.

MONDAY AND BEYOND: The front will slowly push across North Central Alabama
Monday morning. As it does, it will enhance our shower and thunderstorm
chances. The front should hang up somewhere across Central Alabama. As
ripples pulse along the stationary or nearly stationary, shower and storm
chances will remain high through Wednesday. It does appears that the front
might get enough of a nudge to push south of our area by Thursday.

NATIONALLY: The return flow on the back side of the upper level low over
the southern Unite States continues to transport a plume of copious moisture
into New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle and southwestern Kansas. Flash flood
watches continue across these areas. Drought continues across a wide area
of the country, including Arizona, the Central Plains, Texas/Oklahoma and
the Southeast, including parts of Alabama. High fire danger will exist this
week over much of the West and Texas and Oklahoma during this week ahead.

ON THIS DATE IN 1955: Extreme flooding over New England was the result of
torrential rains from Tropical Storm Diane which followed on the heels of
Tropical Storm Connie the week before. 18.15 inches of rain fell in
Westfield MA in 24 hours. 40% of Worcester MA was under water. The
Blackstone River in Woonsocket RI swelled to a width of 1.5 miles.
