...More Showers Overnight...

Our marginal at best severe weather event turned out to
be fairly well behaved. No significant severe weather reports were
received. There were some large hail reports from Northwest Alabama
with the early morning elevated storms. A couple of storms did look
mean and nasty on radar, but fortunately never got strong enough to
cause big problems.

BENEFICIAL RAINS: Rainfall amounts were generally light
across North and Central Alabama. Tuscaloosa picked up 0.61 inches.
0.45 fell at the Birmingham Airport. Anniston picked up 0.36 inches.
Pinson had one of the better amounts at 0.95 inches thanks to the
morning mid-morning storm that moved across northern Jefferson
County. The Skywatcher at Hayden picked up 1.28 inches. Rick in
Remlap reported 0.79. Mike in Vinemont reported 0.86. Bill Lockridge
in Noccalula Falls reported 1.65 inches. Grady Gunnels in Abbeville
reported 1.25 inches.

MORE RAIN IN OUR FUTURE: Fog and low clouds will be
prevalent early this morning, but sunshine should break through
later. The sunny respite will be brief, as clouds will overspread the
area again tonight. Showers will break out during the evening, and
continue through much of the overnight hours into early Sunday. The
rain will be in response to moisture overrunning the stationary front
that will be coming back northward as a warm front later today. Where
the axis of heaviest rainfall will setup is to be determined, but it
most likely will be between Birmingham and Montgomery. Some locations
will receive in excss of an inch of rain from this efficient
rainmaking setup, but just a short distance away, amounts will be much
lighter.

COLDER: A strong cold front will push through the area
on Sunday, putting an end to the rain and sending cooler air into
Alabama. Readings by Monday morning will be just above freezing
across central sections. Readings on Monday will make it back into
the 60s before an even stronger surge of colder air overspreads the
area Monday night. Temperatures will gall through the day on Tuesday,
dropping to near freezing by evening. There are some indications we
could even see a few snow flurries Tuesday afternoon and evening over
the state. Readings by Wednesday morning will be in the lower 20s in
Central Alabama, with teens over the north. Wednesday may see
readings below freezing all day over the northern half of the state.
Temperatures will begin to slowly moderate by Thursday. Our next
chance of rain will come Saturday.

ONE YEAR AGO: A late year tornado outbreak across Texas
sent President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush scrambling for
shelter as a tornado came close to their ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Secret Service agents drove them to the ranch tornado shelter in an
armored military vehicle, but they never entered the safe haven,
waiting in the vehicle until the storm passed. At least eight
tornadoes occurred in the Fort Worth NWSFO CWA including an F2 at
Clifton and near Blum.
