Violent Turbulence Hits Ryanair Flight in Germany, Injuring 9
Severe storms in southern Germany forced a Ryanair flight to make an emergency landing late Wednesday after violent turbulence injured nine people on board, German police said in a statement Thursday. The flight, traveling from Berlin to Milan with 179 passengers and six crew members, encountered turbulence so intense around 8:30 p.m. that the pilot was forced to make an unscheduled landing at Memmingen Airport in Bavaria. Eight passengers and one crew member were hurt, The Associated Press reported. Three people were taken to the hospital in Memmingen for treatment; the other injured people were released after receiving outpatient treatment. As a precaution, all passengers were checked for injuries by the emergency services. Authorities did not permit the plane to continue flying, and the airline arranged bus transport for passengers. Milan is about 380 kilometers (236 miles) south of Memmingen. Elsewhere in the region, storms damaged several homes in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, according to the German news agency dpa. In the Donaustetten district, strong winds tore roofs off multiple row houses, rendering them uninhabitable, though no injuries were reported. Fire officials suspect a small tornado or waterspout caused the damage. The German Weather Service (DWD) is investigating, according to dpa. Storm-related emergency calls also came from other areas in southern Germany, where damage was mostly limited to fallen trees and flooded basements. The DWD warned of further storms Thursday, with hail, strong winds, and localized heavy rain expected.

Pockets of flooding possible overnight, some strong storms
Flood Watch in effect for most of Central Alabama until 7 PM Monday… Tonight: Scattered showers and heavy storms will continue drifting north through central Alabama, becoming less numerous after midnight as temperatures fall into the lower 60s. A strong to severe storm is possible for areas south and west of Birmingham. Monday: While most of us should start the day dry and mostly cloudy, scattered showers and storms will reignite after lunch. A strong to severe storm can't be ruled out mainly along and east of the I-65 corridor on Monday afternoon/evening. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s. This Week: Our rainy pattern continues into Tuesday with another round of mainly afternoon showers and storms expected. This round will be a bit less numerous and storms aren't expected to become very strong. Nonetheless, plan on keeping the umbrella around until we reach midweek. This is when our rainy pattern will trade out with a hot and dry pattern for the second half of the week. A ridge of high pressure will creep northward out of the Gulf, allowing our temperatures to soar into the upper 80s and low 90s by Thursday and Friday. In addition to this, the muggy air will stick around so it may actually feel more like the low/mid 90s for some of us, especially on Friday. As the ridge breaks back down, showers and storms will enter back into the forecast on Friday night and on into the weekend. These storms will be working with a little more wind shear, leading to concern for perhaps some damaging winds for a few storms. This is something that will become more clear as we move through the week.
