...Nice Weekend To Continue...

Beautiful blue skies greeted the day across Central Alabama on this
Saturday morning. For the second straight week, low temperatures were
generally in the 50s across the area. In fact, low this morning were
generally a couple of degrees cooler than last Saturday morning.
Lows in the Tennessee Valley ranged from 50F at Meridianville to 51F
at Vinemont/Cullman to 52F at Decatur. Central Alabama readings
ranged from 54F at Pinson to 56F at Birmingham to 58F at Anniston.

SUNNY AND WARM: That's our forecast for today and Sunday. Some
moisture surging into East Alabama around a low over southeastern
Georgia was giving mostly cloudy skies to areas around Alex City and
Auburn. With fairly dry air in place, temperatures will warm quickly
in the middle and upper 80s today and to a couple of degrees warmer
than that tomorrow.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday starts the week off nice, with lots of
sunshine and warm temperatures continuing. Highs will top out around
90F. By Tuesday, disturbances passing to our north will buckle the
upper flow over Alabama just a tad. This will allow a cool front to
come tantalizingly close to the northern border of the state. This
will trigger a few showers and storms over the area, mainly to the
north. The combination of passing disturbances and this boundary will
keep showers and storms in the forecast through Friday. Saturday
looks like it might be dry, and then look for a backdoor cold front to
approach from the northeast.

WINTRY WEATHER: A low pressure trough over southern Canada was
bringing some late season winter weather to parts of the Montana
Rockies today. Winter weather advisories are in effect for places
like Cut Bank and Browning. Total snowfall amounts are expected to
reach 5-10 inches in the mountains and 1-4 inches across lower
elevation areas. How about that?

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.

TROPICS: The southwestern Caribbean will be the place to look for
potential tropical cyclone development over the next 5 days. I think
by midweek, we will see a tropical low develop there and track
northward toward Cuba and the Bahamas. Last night, the GFS came in
with a solution that moves toward the southern Gulf, but I think the
more likely track is to the northeast.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Five people drowned and dozens had to be
rescued from rough Gulf of Mexico waters during a two day period of
rip currents along the Northwest Florida coast. The rip currents were
caused by strong onshore winds that resulted from the combined effects
of strong high pressure and the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison
that had moved ashore in Texas the day before. The rough surf was
exacerbated by strong swells generated by Allison. Conditions became
so bad that storm warning sirens were sounded at Pensacola Beach
Victims included a 46 year old Tennessee man who went into the water
to rescue his daughters and a 48 year old man who was swimming with
his son.
