...More Storms In Our Future...

Spring doesn't officially begin until early Thursday morning. And by
the time the equinox occurs, we will have endured another winter
severe weather event. This one will come Tuesday night through the
pre-dawn hours of Wednesday. The timing will be a doubled-edged sword
again, with the system moving through at the time of minimum
instability, but also at a time when most everyone will be sleeping.
It seems uncanny how the middle of the night systems have targeted
Alabama this year.

FOR YOUR MONDAY: Today will be a nearly perfect day, with just
scattered clouds, a good deal of sunshine and warm temperatures in the
70s. Low pressure will be forming over the Lone Star state today, and
our winds will freshen as the pressure gradient increases between the
low and high pressure over eastern Canada. You will notice a rather
balmy southeasterly breeze averaging 10-15 mph today. Tonight will
feature increasing clouds with lows dropping only into the 50s.

TUESDAY: A warm front will be lifting over Alabama Tuesday morning,
triggering a few showers and perhaps storms. Rainfall amounts should
be light. It will become quite windy during the day and with
increasing dew points, it will start to feel humid. It won't feel
quite like "tornado weather," but it won't be far from it. The
surface low will track northeast, strengthening as it goes, powered by
a strong upper level system. Severe weather will be likely during the
day to our west, and a powerful line of storms will head our way
during the evening hours. It should arrive on our western doorstep
around midnight. As is often the case, instability will be the wild
card. If dewpoints can rise above 60-62F Tuesday night, look out,
because the upper dynamics are going to be strong. The main threat
looks like it will be from damaging winds, but tornadoes cannot be
ruled out due to the strong dynamics. Looks like another sleepless
night for many Alabamians.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND: Rain will end from the west Wednesday morning,
exiting eastern sections by noon. Colder air will follow the front
with steady or falling temperatures during the day and a strong
northwesterly wind. Some wraparound cloudiness and light rain could
linger into Wednesday night, but high pressure will dominate our
weather by Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, a disturbance will pass
to our north, bringing clouds and a chance of showers. A stronger
system will bring rain by Sunday morning. .

ON THIS DATE IN 1936: The "Hard Luck City" of Johnstown, PA was once
again under attack by floodwaters. By early afternoon, floodwaters
were swirling 14 feet deep in the streets. Reports from the town gave
the frightening news that the dam above the town had once again
broken, as it had in the Great Flood of 1889. That news turned out to
be false, fortunately, but a smaller dam farther upstream had indeed
broken. Most people had evacuated the town. The high water in the
1936 flood equaled the high water mark in the 1889 flood.
