...Unsettled Weekend Weather...

WEEKEND SHOWERS: A pool of moist, unstable air will hang over Alabama
through the weekend, meaning the chance of a few raindrops from time
to time. Today, the best chance of showers will come during the
afternoon and evening hours, when the air is most unstable. There
isn't much in the way of good upper air dynamics, so we expect the
showers to be rather widely spaced, and rainfall amounts to be light
and spotty.

A surface front will drift down into North Alabama tomorrow, and
accordingly we will maintain a chance of scattered showers and storms.
The best coverage will most likely come north of I-20, but even there
the day should be a complete wash-out. Some drier air might try to
slip into the northern half of the state tomorrow night, but that
front will move northward on Sunday in response to a new, stronger
system west of Alabama. This will keep us in the moist air, and we
will have to maintain the chance of scattered showers and storms on
Sunday. It looks like the best coverage of showers and storms will
come Sunday night with a strong cold front and good upper air support.
In fact, we might even have a few strong to severe thunderstorms
Sunday night; at this point it looks like the best chance of strong
storms will come from about 6:00 p.m. Sunday through 3:00 a.m. Monday.

A COOL CHANGE: The rain will end during the pre-dawn hours Monday, and
it will be followed by noticeably cooler air. With a clearing sky on
Monday, the high will be only in the mid 60s. Then, by daybreak
Tuesday, we are forecasting lows in the 40 to 45 degree range across
North Alabama. We might even hear of upper 30s in some of the colder
valleys early Tuesday.

TALLADEGA RACE WEEKEND: The chance of a shower or thunderstorm at the
Talladega Superspeedway tomorrow and Sunday is about one in three;
afternoon temperatures will peak in the 77 to 80 degree range, and
there should be a few intervals of sunshine. Fans headed home Sunday
night need to understand there could be some strong to severe storms
around here, especially after 6:00 p.m.

AT THE BEACH: Expect about 3 to 5 hours of sunshine tomorrow and
Sunday, and there will be a few scattered showers and storms along the
coast from Panama City to Gulf Shores. The sea water temperature is
generally in the mid 70s.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Severe storms last night produced 21 reports
of large hail across parts of Kansas and Nebraska. Hottest place in
the nation yesterday was Wink, Texas with a high of 100 degrees. The
warmest place in Alabama was Dothan with 85 degrees; Huntsville
reported 83, while the high in Birmingham was 80.
