...Happy Memorial Day...

I hope that you have lots of fun and barbecue in your plans for today
as we celebrate Memorial Day. The weather will cooperate, with partly
cloudy conditions prevailing against a hazy and sometimes smoky
backdrop. Temperatures will be warm, with the mercury rising well
into the upper 80s. Can't rule out an isolated storm, but the chance
is not great enough to mention in the forecast today.

FIRE DANGER: We continue to be in a dry and dangerous situation for
wildfires here in North and Central Alabama. Although humidities are
not especially low and winds not much of a problem, the tinder dry
vegetation presents a serious danger. Please be careful with any
fires, but especially over this Memorial Day celebration. Be very
mindful of campfires, cigarettes and barbecues, as well as fireworks.
It will not take much for any fire or spark to get out of hand.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: Air quality will be poor again today with trapped
particulates from local emissions and the South Georgia fires. I
would anticipate an Orange Alert like yesterday. This means that
at-risk groups (children, the elderly, and people with heart and lung
diseases) are urged to take precautions for the rest of the day: stay
inside and no heavy exercise or work.

RAIN CHANCES: High pressure off the South Atlantic coast will
gradually retreat northward during the coming week, and as it does,
our low level flow will gradually become more southerly. This is good
news in terms of the smoke that we have been dealing with as the more
southerly trajectory will eliminate the problem for us. But no relief
is in sight for South Georgia and North Florida where the wildfires
continue. The more southerly flow will also allow our moisture levels
to increase. A shower or storm or two may break out tomorrow,
especially over western sections and across the area on Wednesday.
Still, rain chances will be slim. They will increase just a bit on
Thursday and a little more on Friday. But it looks like the best
chances for rain will come on Saturday and Sunday. It is an evolving
pattern change, and things could end up different on the timing. But
if the precip holds off until the weekend, we might have a little
better chance at more widespread and heavier rainfall. Nothing that
will bust the drought, but a little short term relief. There are
signs that the pattern change may lead to more relief in the form of
additional rainfall during the following week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1947: Ten inches of snow fell at Gay Mills,
Wisconsin. Trees and power lines were damaged. Cold temperatures
followed across the northern Plains with 21 degrees recorded
the next morning at Williston, ND.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: If you think that the smoke event we are
experiencing from the South Georgia fires is bad, check out this
historical weather event from this date in 2003: smoke from forest
fires over Russia showed up as far away as the U.S. Midwest.
