...Rain And Storms Ahead...

Our worst nightmare is that we have Alabamians that go to bed at night
unaware of the threat of severe weather. Most folks don't have
WeatherRadios and are not weather aware. Tonight will be one of those
type situations over southwestern sections of our area of influence.
A very dynamic weather system is unfolding across the Deep South this
afternoon. A powerful upper air system and accompanying surface low
will spread warm, moist Gulf air onshore today over Louisiana,
southern Mississippi and Southwest Alabama. Thunderstorms that form
along and ahead of the surging warm front will have the opportunity to
become severe and with strong wind shear profiles, to produce damaging
winds and even tornadoes. The main threat will be south of Tuscaloosa
overnight, over Sumter, Greene and Hale Counties and points south.
The threat will spread eastward on Monday, affecting areas south of a
Clanton to Lafayette line. All we ask is that you stay apprised of
the situation with a reliable source of weather information close at
hand, and one that will wake you if you retire for the night. We
remind you that mobile homes are particularly susceptible to damaging
winds and tornadoes and should be evacuated if threatening weather
approaches.

YOUR FORECAST: Rain was becoming widespread and heavy to the west of
Alabama this afternoon. A tornado watch was in effect for parts of
South Louisiana where unstable air was moving ashore ahead of the
surface low. This area of rain and storms will continue moving
northeast through the evening hours, overspreading Alabama tonight.
It has become breezy and this will continue overnight. A line of
strong storms will approach western sections of the state tonight
ahead of a cold front. These storms could be strong to severe
especially south of Tuscaloosa as mentioned above. Rain and storms
will move across the area on Monday, ending from the west. Skies will
remain cloudy Monday night with a few sprinkles or a little light rain
possible. Skies will clear on Tuesday Wednesday looks to be mild
and dry with high pressure in place over the South. Another system
will approach Alabama Wednesday night, producing a quick hitting round
of showers and maybe a storm. Friday will feature clearing conditions
again. Another system will try to make an appearance on Saturday,
bringing another chance of showers.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: For thirty three years, residents of
Minneapolis depended on the familiar sight of the "weatherball" atop
the Northwestern National Bank and a catchy rhyme to tell them what
weather was coming.
When the Weatherball is green, no change in weather is foreseen.
When the Weatherball is red, warmer weather is ahead.
When the Weatherball is white, colder weather is in sight.
If colors blink by night or day, precipitation's on the way.

The weatherball was retired after a Thanksgiving Day fire in 1982.
