MID-WEEK SYSTEM: A cold front will bring rain and thunderstorms into Alabama late Wednesday continuing Wednesday night into at least part of the day Thursday. On the positive side, over 2 inches of rain is likely for much of Alabama. But, we also have potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms. SPC has defined a risk of severe thunderstorms over northern and western counties; the main threat will come from strong straight line winds, but a brief tornado or two will also be possible. I will have a new video briefing here early tomorrow morning.

From Tyrel Tucker “Folds of honor just delivered the trophy for the Regions golf tournament via parachute”. For those that heard scanner reports of a possible plane crash at Lake Purdy, this is what people were seeing…

Talk about a serious temperature dip for an Ocean community on the West Coast for early May. As soon as the wind switched to on-shore it dropped quick. From 82°F to 66°F in about 5 minutes. Ocean Shores, WA. #wawx @spann @ryanhallyall

Orange Beach Parks and Recreation’s Pop-Up Farmers Market is now open until 2 p.m. at Orange Beach Waterfront Park. It’s a beautiful day for a farmers market. @spann

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A total of 74 tornadoes touched down across Oklahoma and Kansas in less than 21 hours. At one point, there were as many as four tornadoes reported on the ground at the same time. The strongest tornado, rated a maximum F-5 on the Fujita Tornado Scale, tracked for nearly an hour and a half along a 38-mile path from Chickasha through south Oklahoma City and the suburbs of Bridge Creek, Newcastle, Moore, Midwest City and Del City. As the skies cleared, the states counted 46 dead and 800 injured, more than 8000 homes damaged or destroyed, and total property damage of nearly $1.5 billion.

The Moon over Pike Road. Taken 10:45PM on 5-2-26. It's nearly full (97.7% Illuminated). We're headed toward a new Moon in 2 weeks. @spann @JoshWeather @amanduh_curran

SUNNY MAY DAY: A few colder spots across North Alabama have dropped into the upper 30s early this morning... most places are in the 40s. But we warm nicely today with a strong May sun; expect a high in the low to mid 70s. THE WEEK AHEAD: Dry weather continues tomorrow and Tuesday. An approaching cold front will bring showers and storms into the state as early as Wednesday afternoon. Most of the rain will come Wednesday night into Thursday... SPC continues to define a risk of severe thunderstorms for parts of West and North Alabama. For now it looks like the main threat will come from strong thunderstorm winds, but a brief tornado or two is possible as well. Rain amounts will be in the 1-2 inch range for most of the state. As the front stalls, some risk of rain continues near the Gulf Coast Friday and over the weekend, but the rest of Alabama looks generally dry.
