...Much Colder Today...

Today will feel much colder than the past couple of days thanks to a
strong cold front that moved through overnight. After last night's
showers, basically dry will be the weather word for the next few days
before another storm system approaches next weekend.

SUNDAY WARMTH/SHOWERS: A warm front moved northward across the state
yesterday and temperatures warmed into the upper 60s and lower 70s.
Tuscaloosa topped out at 73F. The state's warm spot was Evergreen,
which had a balmy afternoon high of 76F. Dewpoints surged into the
low 60s by late afternoon, giving the air a muggy feel. A band of
showers moved across the state during the evening and into the
overnight hours. Rainfall amounts were light.

CHILLIER TODAY: Strong northwesterly winds behind the front have been
ushering in colder air overnight and readings have retreated into the
40s. Skies will clear fairly quickly this morning, but with
northwesterly winds continuing to transport in colder air, readings
will struggle to get out of the 40s. As winds go nearly calm tonight
along with clear skies, the stage will be set for a light freeze in
many locations.

MIDWEEK: Tuesday will be mostly sunny and warmer with highs right
around 60 degrees. With very low humidities, there will be a high
wildfire danger Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, a disturbance
passing to the north of Alabama will cause some clouds, and perhaps a
light shower over northeastern sections. Another fast moving
disturbance will bring a chance of shower and storms Thursday night to
the area.

INTO THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND: Skies will clear on Friday and we will
be back in the middle 30s by Saturday morning. We will continue in a
fast moving
weather pattern, and moisture levels will be on the rise again by late
in the weekend. Another storm system will bring rain to Alabama
Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by another system Friday night into
Saturday. Look for more systems as our parade of weather continues
out well into voodoo land around the middle of the month. The GFS
hints at a big wet weather maker around Sunday night the 16th.

ON THIS DATE IN 1703: 400 windmills were destroyed by the greatest
gale in the history of England on this date. Many of the huge
structures burned down from fires which started as their blades turned
wildly in the 80 mph winds. In London, roofs blew off and chimneys
were toppled. The famed Eddystone Lighthouse was toppled by heavy
seas. 123 people died on land, and another 8000 died at sea as
hundreds of vessels from the British fleet were lost, including four
Men-Of-War. It was all caused by an extremely intense 950 millibar
low pressure system that passed north of London.
