....Cooler Conditions Ahead...

Hot and humid out there across Central Alabama on this Sunday
afternoon. Temperatures at midafternoon are in the 80s to around 90
degrees. Dew points are in the middle 60s. A few light showers were
along the Mississippi border over Lamar County. Stronger and more
widespread showers and storms were over South Alabama ahead of a slow
moving back door cold front that has come in from the north and east.
This front will allow for drier air to begin filtering into Alabama
overnight tonight. This will allow temperatures to cool into the
comfortable 50s overnight. Tomorrow will feature a brisk easterly
wind and temperatures that will hold short of 80 degrees in most
locations. Skies should be mostly sunny, although there could be a
few cloudier periods with the easterly wedge in place. Tuesday morning
will be the coolest of the next batch, with an overnight low in the
40s in most locations. Sunny skies will continue to hold sway
through at least Wednesday, with temperatures gradually moderating
back into the 80s.

GREENSBURG TORNADO AN EF5? It has been nearly eight years since we
have had an F5 tornado in the U.S. It was on May 3, 1999, when a
devastating tornado hit Oklahoma City. It is the longest time we have
ever gone between F5 tornadoes. Well, that may have come to an end
with the horrible tornado at Greensburg, KS Friday night. There is
quite a bit of chatter in the chaser forums today that says the Quick
Response Team believes that it was an EF5. Given, we have not seen
anything official, but some credible information that it will likely
be rated as an EF5.

PLAINS BESIEGED BY SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN: 93 reports of tornadoes
yesterday from western Oklahoma through Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota
into Iowa and even Northeast Colorado. Add this to 33 reports from
Friday and throw into today, and you have a significant weekend of
severe weather. A Moderate Risk Outlook for severe weather is in
effect this afternoon and evening across SE Kansas, Oklahoma and back
into the extreme eastern Panhandle of Texas. Severe weather will still
be possible over a wide area tomorrow and even Tuesday, even though by
then it will begin to be concentrated over the southern Plains.

ON THIS DATE IN 1840: A mile wide tornado destroys the Mississippi
River town of Natchez, Mississippi about noon. 317 are left dead in
Natchez alone, 48 on land and 269 in boats on the river. This was the
worst tornado in United States history to occur before the
establishment of the Weather Bureau. Horses reportedly were burst
open by the storm.

ON THIS DATE IN 1995: Dust devils are whirlwinds not associated
with thunderstorms. They form on sunny and hot days with light winds.
They usually swirl harmlessly across fields, kicking up a little
dust. Some however have been exceptionally large and long-lived. On
this date, an unusually powerful dust devil cut a 300 yard long path
near Minong WI. Damage was reported to a house and a fence.
