...Another Nice Weekend...

It's déjà vu all over again, as Yogi Berra used to say. Today's hour
by hour forecast is almost a carbon copy of last Saturday's.
Temperature. Sky condition. Dewpoint. Wind. All extremely close.
Luckily, it's nice weather.

COMFORTABLE START: Many locations across the area dropped into the
upper 50s overnight. With the dry air, temperatures will warm quickly
into the 80s by late this morning. Highs today will top off in the
middle to upper 80s under mostly sunny skies.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Sunday looks like another good looking day. Skies
will be mostly sunny again. Temperatures will be a few degrees
warmer, in the upper 80s to near 90.

A NEW WORK WEEK: It looks like dry weather will continue through
Monday across Central Alabama. There will be enough moisture by
Tuesday to scare up a few widely scattered afternoon showers and
storms as a disturbance passes by to our north. An approaching
frontal system combined with a stronger approaching disturbance will
trigger a better chance of showers and storms on Wednesday.
Additional disturbances will keep rain chances in the forecast through
the end of the week. Shower and storm chances will be around for
Saturday, but should begin to decrease by Sunday and into the
following week.

BEACH WEATHER: Lots of folks heading to the beautiful beaches of
Alabama and Northwest Florida right now in order to get a jump on
summer. The weather will cooperate until at least midweek. And as I
always say, a rainy day at the beach beats just about any other day
anywhere else. Expect lots of sunshine through Tuesday. Highs will
be in the upper 80s for the most part. Water temperatures are around
80.

WEATHERBRAINS: I hope that you are downloading and listening to the
weekly netcast that's all about weather. This past week's episode
(number 175) features a great interview with Science Journalist Jack
Williams. Jack was the long time editor of the USA TODAY's innovative
weather page. He also is the author of the AMS Weather Book: The
Ultimate Guides to America's Weather. This week's episode will be
recorded Sunday night. This week's featured WeatherBrain will be Jim
Stefkovich, the Meteorologist at the National Weather Service
Birmingham. The panel and Jim will debate both sides of the question:
"Are there too many tornado warnings." Meteorologist Tim Vasquez also
gives some insight into the Air France disaster.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: The PGA Memorial Tournament at Muirfield in
Dublin, Ohio is one of the biggest events on the tour. It has been
affected by weather before, but never by bugs. Big bugs. Lots of
them. The gigantic crop of ugly, loud bugs that emerges every
seventeen years was droning out most other sounds across the Ohio
Valley and Mid-Atlantic region. Players were concerned that they
might make a bad shot if one of the huge, ugly bugs buzzed them.
Fortunately, the insects were not a factor in the outcome of the
tournament. They just provided loud background roar that marshals
could not silence.
