...Active Week Ahead...

After an extended period of benign weather, it seems like we will
actually have some interesting weather to work on during the week
ahead. A series of disturbances will bring an extended chance of rain
to Alabama (hopefully). Today has been beautiful, with lots of
sunshine and blue skies. Highs this afternoon will reach the upper
50s for the most part. A few spots may make it to 60 degrees.

THROUGH MONDAY: High pressure at the surface is centered over
northern Mississippi this afternoon. This high will settle into
southern Tennessee overnight, giving us clear, calm and cold
conditions. Temperatures will drop well into the 30s at most
locations, with a widespread frost expected. A few colder locations
will experience a light freeze. High pressure will still be in charge
on Monday, with plenty of sunshine again and slightly warmer readings
in the 60s. But signs of change are already on the board.

CHANGES AHEAD: A powerful upper trough will be moving out of the
Four Corners region of the West on Monday. Showers and storms will
already be breaking out ahead of this system over Oklahoma and Texas
tonight. The upper system will weaken as it moves out onto the Plains
tomorrow and the system that reaches us on Tuesday will be a shadow of
its former self. Clouds will increase over Alabama Monday night and
showers will move into the state Tuesday morning. But we will remain
in a southwesterly flow, and a series of disturbance will keep us in
rain chances through much of the rest of the week.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: The front from Tuesday is expected to hang
up over Alabama and as a surface low develops to the west, rain will
spread back into Alabama Tuesday night into Wednesday. Meanwhile, a
strong jet stream will energize a trough over the Rockies by late on
Tuesday and this will push a stronger upper trough our way. Rain and
storms should increase ahead of this system. The timing is a little
up in the air, but the best bet looks like late Thursday into Friday.
There could be some strong storms with this system, but it is too
early to tell the extent. Rain should end on Friday, but as a huge
upper low sets up over the Ohio Valley for the weekend, we will deal
with extensive cloudiness. There could even be a little light rain
Friday afternoon. Clearing and breezy conditions are expected for
Saturday with sunshine back by Sunday.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT? An outage on a single
electrical line between Niagara Falls and New York City triggered a
series of failures that blacked out the City of New York at 5:28 p.m.
on this date in 1965. It was like turning off a switch. The only
illumination was coming from the moon and automobile headlights.
Runways at all three New York airports went dark. Traffic came to a
standstill as traffic lights went out. Resolute New Yorkers took the
blackout in stride, some having to walk many miles to get home. There
was an atmosphere or calm and unity in the city, with people sharing
radios, flashlight and candles as they coped with the emergency.
People turned out into the streets, which seemed more like impromptu
street festivals than a disaster. The calm of the 1965 blackout was
nothing like the chaos and rioting that occurred twelve years later in
July 1977 when another major power outage plunged the entire city into
the dark again.

ON THIS DATE IN 1926: Fourteen people were killed in an F4 tornado
that struck a school in La Plata, Maryland around 3 p.m. The tornado
is the deadliest twister in Maryland history and one of only two F4s
to ever strike the state. Interestingly, the other also struck
LaPlata in 2002. The building was lifted, blown into a grove of trees
and destroyed. Debris was found as far as fifty miles away.
