....Severe Weather; Followed By Cooler...

Oh, yeah. Have you filed your taxes? Guess it is that time of year.
At least you get an extra day today since April 15th falls on a
Sunday. So, if you have procrastinated or just plain forgot, better
hop to it.

A COLD ONE TONIGHT: After a cloudy, chilly, windy afternoon, skies
are clearing from the west and winds will be diminishing this evening.
This is going to allow temperatures to drop like a rock. Readings by
late this evening will be in the middle 30s across the area. Moisture
levels will still be high and with the excellent radiational cooling,
we could see some dense fog overnight. Some of the normally colder
locations could flirt with the freezing mark, so take precautions to
protect tender vegetation.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Tomorrow will feature a quick return to mild
temperatures, with a full complement of a strong April sun.
Temperatures will rebound nicely into the upper 60s despite a
continued northerly breeze. Under clear skies Monday night, readings
will drop into the middle 40s in most locations. Tuesday will be
quite nice, with highs in the middle 70s, about perfect for this time
of the year. On Tuesday, low pressure will be developing to the west
of Alabama and moving our way. This means the return of a chance of
showers late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Then benign weather will
follow on the heels of this system, giving us fine weather into the
weekend with temperatures a little above normal.

BIG EAST COAST STORM: The low that passed through Alabama last
night will become a monster low as it moves up the East Coast. By
tomorrow, it will be east of the Delmarva and be as strong as a
Category One hurricane. Advisories, watches and warnings for a
variety of inclement weather blanket the eastern United States from
Alabama to Maine with this system. This could be one of the biggest
East Coast storms in the past few years.

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: Meteorologists in North Carolina were amazed
at the sight on the Doppler radars. An unusually intense supercell
thunderstorm assumed a hurricane-like with an eye-like hole in its
center as it roared across the southeastern part of North Carolina.
The "tornadocane" produced several damaging tornadoes, including one
killer tornado. One of the tornadoes cut a 30 mile damage path.
Winds gusted to an amazing 165 mph just north of Trenton, NC at 10:20
p.m. Other storms in North Carolina killed a man in a mobile home at
Pembroke NC. A Norfolk Southern freight train was blown off the
tracks at Bridgeton. A tornado struck Vienna GA, south of Macon,
during the morning injuring two dozen people.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: An Air China 767 crashed into a mountainside
in rain and fog on approach to the Kimhae Airport in Pusan, South
Korea. 39 of the 167 people on board the plane survived.
