...Happy Memorial Day!...

This is the day that we remember all of those brave servicemen and
women that have sacrificed their lives for our country. Originally
known as Decoration Day, it was originally created to commemorate
those who died during the Civil War. It was expanded to include all
American casualties in any war after World War I.

FOR YOUR HOLIDAY: Today will look a lot like Sunday across Central
Alabama. The day should start out cloudy again, with a few showers
and storms around. Sunshine should peek through in spots by mid-
morning, with some clearing in most spots through the late morning.
Temperatures will warm into the lower 80s in most spots by afternoon.
Showers and storms will get a shot in the arm from the daytime
heating, with rain chances a little better than one in two at your
favorite spot. Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday and have a great time
today!

TUESDAY: Tuesday will be a carbon copy of today, with cloudy skies
to greet the day, some sunshine by late monring and a rash of showers
and storms popping up with the heating of the day. Highs will again
be in the lower 80s.

WEDNESDAY: Rain chances will back off a bit as we head into
midweek. Expect a little more in the way of sunshine and fewer
showers. Temperatures will remain seasonably warm. Good weather for
the Rickwood Classic.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: By Thursday, the low pressure system that is
the remnants of our little tropical low will be passing to the north
of Alabama. This will push a cold front our way. Look for elevated
showers and storm chances again both days, with the front reluctantly
sliding through Friday evening.

THE WEEKEND: Rain chances will back off a bit as we head into
midweek. Expect a little more in the way of sunshine and fewer
showers. Temperatures will remain seasonably warm.

VOODOOLAND: After the front passes through, some relatively drier
air will flow into Alabama, putting an effective end to our showery
conditions. It looks like drier, more summerlike conditions will
prevail through much of the following week until another storm system
affects Alabama around the 6th and 7th.

INTERESTING FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: Two tornadoes struck
the town of Blackwell Oklahoma within a few minutes during
the evening, killing 19 and injuring 500 persons. The same
thunderstorm later produced a tornado that almost completely destroyed
the town of Udall, Kansas. Eighty persons were killed in Udall along
with 270 that were injured. The casualties constituted over half of
the town's population. This was the last tornado in the United States
to cause 50 or more death in a single town. A tornado watch had been
in effect earlier in the evening, but it was cancelled about an hour
and a half before the tornado struck the town at 10:30 p.m. The
tornado destroyed the town's new high school and the city water tower.
