===================================================================

Step outside and take a deep breath. You might only get one more
morning like this until next September or October. And that will be
tomorrow. After today and tomorrow, temperatures and dewpoints in the
40s will probably not be seen here in Central Alabama again for the
next four months. We will be longingly wishing for days like this when
we get to the dog days of summer.
A BEAUTIFUL START TO THE WEEK: On the weather maps this morning, we
find sprawling high pressure centered over Ohio and Indiana. This high
ridges all the way back into north Texas. Clockwise winds rotating out
from this big anticyclone will be out of the northeast over Central
Alabama today. You will notice them, averaging 10-18 mph. Despite
nearly full sun, temperatures today will struggle to make it very far
into the 70s. In fact, some spots may not get out the 60s today. When
combined with the low humidity and brisk winds, it will feel quite
chilly. Tonight will be another refreshing night, with lows again in
the 40s in most spots.

PERFECT WEATHER WATCH: Tuesday promises to be a very beautiful day
again across the area. Tomorrow may be even better than today, with
lighter winds and a little warmer temperatures. Look for highs in the
upper 70s with continued low humidity and lots of sunshine. Tuesday's
weather may be about as ideal as you will see in Central Alabama, so
we will go ahead and post a perfect weather warning for the area.

INTERESTING FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: There is a table top
exercise about a hurricane hitting the state of Alabama at the State
Emergency Operations Center this Wednesday. It could be very apropos,
as we could be watching some sort of tropical development in the Gulf
by then. Indeed, the forecast for the rest of the week is quite murky
because of this potential development. The numerical weather
prediction models have been fairly consistent in showing the
development of a low pressure system in the vicinity of Cuba or the
Florida Keys early in the week. There have been difference in the
eventually track of the low. Some carry it directly in to the Gulf.
Other solutions have carried it into the Atlantic, only to bring it
back across Florida and into the Gulf. But nearly every solution means
heavy rains for the Florida Peninsula and generally all of them bring
the system eventually to the northern Gulf states, accompanied by
widespread precipitation.

ON THIS DATE IN 1995: A large outbreak of severe weather across the
Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys produced eighty six tornadoes.
Six people died and sixty five were injured. Three people died around
Ethridge, TN as an F4 tornado carved a twenty nine mile path. This
tornado destroyed six high tension electric transmission towers that
belonged to the TVA. The towers were never found. The other F4 tornado
of the day touched down northwest of Athens, AL shortly after 4:30
p.m. It crossed I-65 and traversed all of Madison County before moving
into Jackson County. The tornado finally lifted near Hytop after
cutting a thirty nine mile damage path. Only one person died in this
tornado.
