...Happy Mother's Day!...
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there across the
world today on your special day. Thanks for all the things that you
have done and do to make your kids' lives as wonderful as possible.
RAIN SCARCE ON SATURDAY: Rainfall amounts were isolated and
relatively light on Saturday. Most of the action occurred in North
Central Georgia and over Southeast Alabama, south of Montgomery.
A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER'S DAY: A warm, dry Sunday is expected today across
Alabama. Drier air has been filtering into the state behind a weak
front, if you can call it that. It is really just a surface trough.
A few showers and storms formed along the leading edge of this trough
yesterday afternoon as it moved south into Alabama.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Drier air will limit the development of showers and
storms through Tuesday. There still will be a small chance of
afternoon and evening thunderstorms across the area Monday and
Tuesday, but the chance will be very small. By Wednesday, an
approaching upper trough and cold front will trigger fairly widespread
shower and thunderstorm development. The front will slowly settle
into South Central Alabama, maintaining shower chances for southern
sections. A fairly strong easterly wedge is hinted at for Friday into
the weekend with a moist easterly flow in place.
ON THIS DATE IN 1930: One of the only official US hail deaths
occurred on this date near Lubbock Texas. A farmer caught in open
field was killed. Hail is dangerous but deaths from hail are rather
infrequent. Other historical U.S. hail fatalities included one death
in the 1700's, two deaths in the 1800's, and three deaths in the
1900's. The most recent incident occurred on March 28, 2000 as two
tornadoes moved across downtown Fort Worth, Texas, one person was
killed by baseball sized hail which struck the victim in the head. He
later died in the hospital from his injuries. Large hailstones can
fall at the rate of 90 miles per hour. . Prior to the Fort Worth
fatality, the last recorded U.S. hail fatality was on July 30th, 1979
at Fort Collins, Colorado. An infant was killed in that incident,
which saw 3 ½ inch hailstones and was the worst hailstorm in the
history of Fort Collins.
ON THIS DATE IN 1980: An F3 tornado ripped directly through the
center of Kalamazoo, Michigan, killing five and injuring seventy nine.
Twelve hundred people were left homeless. The tornado passed directly
over the American Bank, where a barograph reported a pressure drop of
0.59 inches. The pressure drop in a tornado is fortunately spread
over a few seconds, which gives most buildings and homes time to
equalize the air pressure through minute openings in the structures.
It is the tornado's winds that destroy homes. The effect of the
pressure drop is irrelevant.
