...Improving Weather For Alabama...

GRADUAL CLEARING: Improving weather headlines our forecast for Alabama
today in the wake of yesterday's thunderstorm event. Clouds could
linger into the late morning, but most places should enjoy a good
supply of sunshine this afternoon as dry air takes over. The weather
will be a little cooler today with a high in the mid to upper 60s.
Tomorrow promises to be a beautiful day with a good supply of sunshine
and a high in the mid 70s.

MORE STORMS ON SUNDAY: Yet another energetic weather disturbance will
roll into Alabama on Sunday with another chance of strong to severe
thunderstorms. While the rain won't fall all day, there will be a few
heavy downpours, especially Sunday afternoon, and the heavier storms
could produce hail and high winds. A tornado is possible in isolated
storms as well; something you pretty much expect in the core of
tornado season in Alabama. The storms will move out of the state
Sunday night.

LATE SEASON FREEZE: Another big story is the potential for a late
season freeze Tuesday morning. At this time, it looks like most places
will drop into the 25 to 30 degree range early Tuesday, with potential
for low 20s across the coldest valleys of North Alabama. This will be
very close to record low temperature levels, and could damage tender
plants and other vegetation.

We begin to warm up Tuesday afternoon, and by Thursday of next week
yet another significant storm system will roll into Alabama with
potential for showers and strong thunderstorms as this very active
weather pattern continues.

LAST NIGHT'S STORMS: A wicked bow echo moved through Northwest Alabama
last night, producing extensive tree damage across Marion, Lamar,
Pickens, Fayette, Winston, Walker, and parts of Tuscaloosa counties.
There was some structural damage as well, and reports of people
trapped in homes due to downed trees and powerlines. Power outages
were also widespread. To the north, a tornado touched down at a
trailed park in Lacey Springs, near Huntsville, but there were no
major injuries.

THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: The "superoutbreak". It was the worst
tornado outbreak in U.S. history with 148 twisters touching down in 13
states. Before it was over 16 hours later, 330 people were dead and
5,484 were injured in a damage path covering more than 2,500 miles. In
Alabama, 80 people lost their lives, and the community of Guin was
just about wiped out with extensive damage from an F5 tornado that
killed over 20 in that small Marion County community alone. Other
communities impacted that Wednesday night included Jasper, Cullman,
Huntsville, Harvest, and Hazel Green. The Walker County Courthouse in
downtown Jasper was heavily damaged by an F4 tornado, a long track
twister that started near Aliceville, and ended in the northern part
of Cullman County.
