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

...Beautiful Mother's Day...

You couldn't ask for better weather for Mother's Day across Central
Alabama. Sunny and warm conditions prevail, and humidity levels are
lower than they have been recently. I hope that all of our moms have
had a special day in every way!

BENIGN NATIONAL WEATHER: I know that I am in May when I get to these
short lists of historic weather events in my database. At least in
October, there are usually several hurricanes to talk about through
history. I guess May has tornadoes on the Plains, but overall, the
nation enjoys fairly fine weather in May. Case in point this morning:
when I pulled up the national watch/warning/advisory map, there simply
were none. And its not that the national weather maps are devoid of
features. There is strong high pressure over the Great Lakes. A wavy
stationary front over the Southeast. Complex low pressure over the
Rockies. Just not dangerous weather this morning. There is a threat
of severe weather later today over the northern Rockies as well as the
upper Great Lakes.

BENIGN ALABAMA WEATHER: Our weather will continue to be very benign
for the next two and one half days. Dewpoints are a little lower than
yesterday. They will settle into the middle 50s tonight and stay in
the 50s through tomorrow. Winds will gradually shift around to the
southeast during the day tomorrow, allowing moisture levels to slowly
return. The chance of an isolated afternoon or evening shower is
very, very small on Monday and Tuesday, almost not mentioning. Expect
comfortable lows around 60 and highs in the lower 80s through Tuesday,
which is very near normal for this time of year.

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: An approaching cold front will bring a good
chance of showers and storms on Wednesday. I think everyone will
receive rain, but your actual rainfall amount will vary. An average
of one half inch looks good for now. Still not a drought buster. It
now looks like the front will move through quickly on Thursday and we
may get to remove rain chances then. Nice conditions will settle in
for Thursday through the following Monday. We may see upper 40s by
Friday morning. Highs on Thursday and Friday will remain in the 70s.
We make the low 80s again by weekend.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: Windstorms in Bangladesh killed between 500 and
1,000, injured more than 30,000, and left 100,000 homeless. More than
80 villages with 10,000 homes were destroyed. As many as 22 people
died in one family. At least a portion of these windstorms was
tornadic.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Two brothers hiking with their family in Zion
National Park in Utah were swept away when flash flooding suddenly
struck after a burst of heavy rain. The youngsters were ahead of the
rest of their family when they came to a part of the trail that was
underwater. They were swept away as they attempted the cross the
flooded part of the trail. The ten year was swept over a ledge and
fell 100 feet to his death. The 5 year old clung to a tree and was
rescued.
