...Can't Beat It...

If I could find the place that has the exact weather we had here in
Birmingham on Friday year round, I would have to consider moving
there. San Diego probably comes close, but I would miss the rain and
storms. So, I guess that I will just love the weather right here in
my little hometown. And cherish days like yesterday and today.

COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING: Lows across much of the area
dropped well into the 40s this morning, close to record levels for the
date. The record for this morning at the Birmingham Airport is 43.
Tomorrow morning's record is 41. Both will likely be safe. Lows
tomorrow morning will probably reach the upper 40s, and that is the
last we will see of 40s for awhile.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Skies will be mostly clear through the weekend, with
highs in the upper 70s today. By tomorrow, we will likely see
readings in the lower 80s again.

THE WEEK AHEAD: High pressure will remain in control of our weather
through Tuesday. Temperatures will edge upward, into the lower 80s of
Monday. By then, high pressure over the mid-Atlantic states will
propel a back door cold front southward along the eastern side of the
Appalachians. This will allow an easterly wedge to push into Alabama
from the east. If it arrives on Tuesday, it will back temperatures
off a bit. If it does not arrive until late in the day, we might see
upper 80s. There could be a few showers with the backdoor front.
Meanwhile, a sharp upper level trough will be swinging toward Alabama.
This will move a fizzling cold front toward Alabama. Moisture will
be limited and the main part of the trough should stay to the north of
us, so rain chances will be rather limited, but we can expect a round
of showers and storms, either late on Wednesday or on Thursday.

END OF THE WEEK: The front should hang up over the state for the
latter part of the week. This will to a continued chance of showers
and storms for Friday.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: By Saturday, an upper low will be forming to
our west. It looks like a good chance of rain on Sunday, and perhaps
into Monday with a surface low and upper level low in the area.

ON THIS DATE IN 1780: Forest fires in sent smoke across New England,
which made the sky as dark at noon as it would have been at night.
The darkness caused chicken to roost. People were frightened that God
was punishing them..

ON THIS DATE IN 1990: Devastating flooding in the historic downtown
section of beautiful Hot Springs AR results from over 13 inches of
rain in just nine hours. Serious flooding occurred downtown along
Central Avenue. Water was released from Lake Hamilton and raced
downstream to Remmel Dam. Many houses and cabins, which had been
swept away by the floodwaters, were swept over the dam!
