...A Wild Night...

Our run of terrible Friday night weather is still intact after rounds
of severe thunderstorms plagued the South overnight. Daylight is
revealing the true nature of the damage in Atlanta, where a disaster
was narrowly missed with a significant tornado touched down in
downtown, causing extensive damage to the Georgia World Congress
Center, CNN and the Omni Hotel. Numerous windows were blown out and
debris litters the streets. The final quarterfinal game of the night
in the SEC Basketball Championship was postponed until today and the
games are being moved to Georgia Tech. Wow. Here in Alabama, we have
had scattered reports of significant wind damage and lots of reports
of large hail.

AND IT'S NOT OVER YET: Our protracted severe weather
event might still have some surprises in store for us here in
Alabama. The low is still back to our west over Mississippi. A
pretty good warm sector is in place over Central and South Alabama
with a warm front along its northern edge. The big question now is
whether warmer air aloft will move in and squash the opportunity for
storms to develop later today. A complex of storms was moving through
the Tennessee Valley at mid-morning. Any storms that reform south of
this during the morning and afternoon could quickly become severe with
the added danger of possible tornadoes. The action could get quite
intense later this afternoon to the east of Alabama, where a tornado
outbreak is possible over Georgia and South Carolina. Pay close
attention to the latest weather conditions throughout the day.

MOVING AHEAD: The low will pass by to our north this
evening dragging a cold front through here and putting an end to the
storms. Drier air will filter in overnight. Lows by morning will be
in the middle 40s. Tomorrow looks like a pleasant day with lots of
sunshine and highs in the 60s. Monday will warm into the 70s as we
get ready for our next system. Another strong low will form to our
west and bring us a chance of overnight storms again Tuesday night
into Wednesday morning. Once again, they will have the potential to
be severe. Things should clear out for the end of the week with our
next system due in here Sunday into Monday.

VOODOO LAND: A low will track north of Alabama next
Friday night into Saturday,, bringing another round of showers and
storms. Look for another powerful low at the end of the following
week as we get ready to close out the month. This system shows signs
of producing heavy snows again over Kentucy and Tennessee with some
snow back into Arkansas and even North Texas.

THE MAUNDER MINIMUM: The aurora borealis was
conspicuously absent in skies over Europe between 1645-1715. In fact,
not a single aurora borealis was observed by Royal Astronomers between
1645 and 1708. The absence of the beautiful glowing displays in the
night sky was caused by a lack of solar activity during that time.
Astronomer E. W. Maunder pointed out the sunspot minimum between 1645
and 1715. It is named for him: the Maunder Minimum. The lack of
solar activity probably contributed to the global cooling that led to
the Little Ice Age, a period of cooling that lasted from 1400 until
1850.
