...Another Gorgeous Day...

Get ready for another beautiful day on this late May Sunday in
Alabama. Skies will be mostly sunny with relatively low humidities
and temperatures in the lower 80s. Winds will be light out of the
north. Tonight will be another comfortable night with lows dropping
into the lower 50s under mostly clear skies.

THE WEEK AHEAD: We start the week off with more of the same weather
through Tuesday: namely mostly sunny skies with slowly rising
temperatures and humidities. Still, readings will be comfortable with
highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s. On Wednesday, we will be
watching high pressure over the mid-Atlantic that will send a back
door cold front down the eastern side of the Appalachians. Have you
heard that before this Spring? It doesn't look like it will be as
impressive as a couple of the other ones we have seen so far this
year. Still, you will notice a freshening easterly breeze on
Wednesday with a chance of showers and maybe a storm, mainly over
eastern sections of the area.

The front washes out Thursday, leaving us in a mild airmass Thursday
and Friday, with highs right around 80 and lows in the 50s. Just
about normal for this time of the year. It should also be dry for the
end of the week, with no rain expected either day. Saturday will see
the high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic heading eastward into the
western Atlantic. As it does, our winds will become more southerly
and moisture levels will begin to increase. Showers could appear on
the scene Saturday afternoon over southern sections and will
overspread the area Saturday night into Sunday. j

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: A violent tornado at Williamsburg, Kansas
produced a 71-mile path of destruction that included parts of the
southern suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri. The tornado path was 700
yards wide in some locations. There was near total devastation
through the suburbs of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Mills. A cancelled
check from Hickman Mills was later found in Ottumwa, Iowa. Pilots
flying around the storm at 30,000 feet reported seeing debris in the
air. A total of 44 people were killed and 531 were injured.
A 5000-pound gasoline tank was reportedly transported 1.5 miles and
dropped into a lake. It was one of Kansas City's worst weather
disasters of record.

ON THIS DATE IN 1997: Up to 1 million people were left homeless by a
cyclone with winds of 145 mph that struck Bangladesh, killing 46.
About a third of the casualties were reported in the port city
Chittagong, Bangladesh's second largest city. Tidal surges six feet
high covered islands and crops while winds toppled trees. Since 1970,
such storms have left an estimated 1.5 million people dead in the
vulnerable portions of the nation.
