...Another Fabulous Morning...

What a glorious morning across Alabama on this Saturday in late May,
with widespread readings in the 40s. Enjoy them while you can, which
will be all of one more night, because the inventory is running out
quickly.

RECORDS FROM THIS MORNING: None in Alabama this morning, but to our
west, Mississippi did record some, including 44F at Vicksburg. The
46F at Jackson tied the record the date. Alabama lows included:
Cullman 36F, Fort Payne 37F, Crossville 39F, Black Creek 38.8F,
Odenville 39.4F, Munford 40F, Noccalula Falls 41F, Downtown Vinemont
41.5F, Pinson 43F, Tuscaloosa and Hueytown 44F, Anniston, Decatur 45F,
Birmingham International 53F, Calera 54F.

OUR FORECAST: Clear and comfortable again tonight with lows mainly
around 50 with a few 40s thrown in. Tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday look
to be mostly sunny with temperatures nudging upwards into the 80s each
day. By Wednesday, I still believe that we will see another of the
recently common back door cold front from the east, although this one
may not be an pronounced. There will be a slight chance of a shower
on Wednesday as it sets up. We should be partly sunny in the Thursday
and Friday time frame with mild temperatures. It now looks like rain
will hold off until at least Saturday evening. Sunday looks wet.

MAIN EVENTSEVERE WEATHER TODAY: Nationally, severe weather today will
be limited to the area from Montana down into Wyoming and up into
South Dakota from high based storms as an upper level disturbance
slides across that area. Wind advisories cover parts of the northern
Rockies and Central Florida. Northern and Central Florida is under a
critical fire danger today with a severe drought continuing as well as
low humidities and strong winds behind the cold front that passed
through yesterday. Our fire danger has lessened somewhat since
yesterday with the relaxing of the northerly winds, but extreme
caution must still be exercised in Alabama.

CELESTIAL TREAT: Tonight, at sunset, go outside and look to the west
where you will enjoy the pairing of a beautiful crescent moon and the
planet Venus, the two brightest objects in the sky.

"WE PRAYED" was the headline on the Fort Payne Times Journal after an
F2 tornado chewed its way across the northern part of the Northeast
Alabama city. About 150 people were attending the Jaycette's Little
Miss Maid of Cotton Contest when the twister struck about 6:55 p.m. on
a Saturday night on this date in 1973. There was little time for
warning, as a man ran into the gym at the school and yelled for
everyone to get against the walls and down on the ground seconds
before the tornado hit. Fortunately, there were no injuried at the
school even though the gym was damaged. 35 people were injured in
Fort Payne. Damage was also heavy at Section, AL, where 2 more people
were hurt. A survey conducted after the tornado showed that 65
percent of the residents of Fort Payne were taken by surprise by the
storm, despite warnings being broadcast by both local radio stations
and Huntsville television stations at least an hour before the storm
when the Birmingham NWS issued a tornado warning.
