...Another Gorgeous Day...

NICE START: Everyone is enjoying a very comfortable morning on this
April Monday. Temperatures overnight dropped into the 40s and 50s in
all locations. Get ready for another nearly perfect, if not
absolutely perfect day across Alabama. The weekend was gorgeous, with
lots of sunshine and highs mostly in the 70s. A few spots were able
to reach 80F on Sunday. 80s will be common over the next couple of
days. Model guidance is prognosticating highs in the 70s, but the
setup should be conducive for temps to exceed the predicted readings
the next few days. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy today
and tomorrow across the area. Conditions will remain dry, with the
exception of the possibility of a shower late Tuesday night as a
weakening cold front approaches. But high pressure should remain in
control until then.

RAIN CHANCES? That weakening front will drift into the Tennessee
Valley on Wednesday, but rain chances will be diminishing the further
southeast you go. In the I-20/59 corridor, we will call for only
slight chances of showers or storms. Thursday looks to have better
chances of showers and storms as an upper level disturbance swings
across the area. Lots of moisture will be in place, so if this
happens, everything could come together for a decent rain event with
some storms thrown in. Keep your fingers crossed, as some spots could
see an inch of rain. Then, a more progressive large scale upper
trough will push a stronger front toward Alabama. This means
increasing chances for rain and storms Friday night.

RACING WEEKEND: Big weekend ahead here in Alabama. The Magic City
Art Connection will be downtown and NASCAR will be at Talladega.
While we need the rain, let's hope the events stay dry. By Saturday
morning, the rain and storms should be exiting to the east with
rapidly improving conditions. Saturday afternoon looks dry and Sunday
looks perfect, with only the possibility of a little wraparound
stratocumulus. Only the smallest chance of a shower.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK: As we look out into the future, we seem to be
headed into a rather benign weather pattern as we exit April and head
into may.

ON THIS DATE IN 1952: One reason that officials of the U.S. Weather
Bureau used the fear of public panic as one of their main reasons for
not issuing tornado forecasts for years. When tornado forecasts began
being issued in 1952, the predicted widespread panic did not happen.
There were isolated reports of people reacting out of fear of the
official warnings, but the incidents were rare. One did happen on
this date, however, as a woman working in a store in Altus, Oklahoma
jumped in her car upon hearing a tornado warning. Her car slid off
into a ditch during a bad rainstorm and she was killed.
