....From Spring Like to Summer Like...

It has been a pleasant morning across Alabama on this Sunday. In
fact, it has been a downright pleasant week. One of the nicest in
memory. Temperatures this morning ranged from a pleasant 46F at Fort
Payne and Meridianville in North Alabama to 59F at Brookley Field in
Mobile. It was 57F at the Birmingham Airport, 56F in Calera, 52F in
Tuscaloosa and as well in Anniston.

RECORDS TODAY: Temperatures should run a couple of degrees warmer
than yesterday, with many locations showing up on the upper side of
85F by mid-afternoon. Records for the date include 88F at Birmingham,
85F at Anniston and 83F at Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa looks like a
shoo-in to break their record. Anniston quite possibly. Birmingham,
not so much, but maybe.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: High pressure is centered near Knoxville this
morning, giving us the fine conditions. The air mass over Alabama is
relatively dry, giving us the 30 degree range in temperatures. You
can find some soupy air not so far away, however. Morning dew points
over southern Louisiana were near 70 degrees, including 68 at
Lafayette. Skies were mainly clear over Alabama, but were cloudy to
the west over Louisiana and Texas. We will see increasing high cirrus
clouds through the day blowing in the southwesterly flow aloft over
the state. High pressure over New England will drop southward on
Monday, pushing a wedge of cooler air toward us from the east. It is
not a strong wedge, and we don't expect the effects to be significant.
It could trigger a few showers and isolated storms on Monday, but the
chances are small.

REST OF THE WEEK: We stay in a decent southerly flow through much
of the week ahead, with warm temperatures and increasing moisture.
There could be enough lift for some isolated showers as a couple of
weak troughs ripple by in the flow on Tuesday and Wednesday, but
again, no significant rainfall is expected. I would expect some
severe weather over the Plains by Wednesday and Thursday as a low
lifts northeast out of Oklahoma into Missouri. This system will
spread a weakening area of showers and a few storms into Alabama
overnight Friday night into Saturday morning. Some cooler air will
arrive behind the associated cold front that will move through the
state Saturday morning.

ON THIS DATE IN 1901: March 25, 1901 was a stormy morning in
Birmingham, with an early morning tornado at Ensley and another in
Pratt City around 8:30 a.m. that destroyed about 25 homes. But the
main action came at around 9:30 a.m., when people in the city began to
worry about a darkening cloud to the southwest. The gathering storm
formed into a tornado which ripped through a ten block section of the
South Highlands neighborhood. It next targeted the Lakeview district.
It roared through Avondale and into Irondale, where it fell with a
deadly fury. A total of thirteen people died in Birmingham, another
three in Irondale. The tornado ranks as the sixth deadliest ever to
hit Jefferson County. The Birmingham Public Library has an excellent
publication produced by the Collins Shoe Company as a memento of the
disaster. The back inside cover has an ad for Bostonian men's shoes
for $3.50.
