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

The whole state got rain in the last 24 hours. It was the most
complete statewide soaking that we have had in a long time. It was
very timely because most of the state has been very dry. The heaviest
rain was over the North and West with lesser amounts over the East and
Southeast.

Only downside to this good rain was strong winds. Many areas had
gusts as high as 50 mph even with no thunderstorms involved. There
were quite a few trees and tree limbs that came down and some power
outages.

There is a long list of rainfall amounts on the 3340 blog. Here is a
short list of selected amounts:

4.70 inches at Jasper
3.78 at Tuscaloosa Airport
4.22 at Fayette
1.72 at Birmingham Airport
1.26 at Huntsville
1.25 at Mobile

Now, we can expect cooler and dry air moving in. With abundant
ground-level moisture, some fog will develop overnight and rather
dense in many areas. That fog will get away quickly tomorrow morning
and we will enjoy a sunny day with comfortable temperatures. A visit
by some more scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday, then right
back to sunny weather for Friday and Saturday.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The storm system that brought all the rain to
Alabama also brought widespread rain to a huge area. Too much rain for
Houston but substantial amounts were recorded over much of Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and northward to the Ohio Valley…USA low this
morning was 21 Big Piney, Wyo.
