...Rain Hard To Find Around Here...

After receiving anywhere from five to ten inches from Hurricane Ivan
on September 16, hardly a drop of rain has fallen on Alabama, and the chance
of significant rain looks small for the rest of the week. A little moisture
will creep in here by Friday, but for now we are not going to mention any
chance of rain in our formal forecast.

THE WEEKEND: A rather vigorous cold front is forecast to swing
through here Saturday night, and that could squeeze out a few showers. But,
the moisture will be very limited and any rain should be fairly light and
spotty. Not enough to put a major damper on outdoor events like football
games, NASCAR races (this is race weekend at Talladega), and arts and crafts
shows.

On Sunday, the coolest air so far this young fall season will roll
into the state on brisk northwest winds. The latest model output suggests
high temperatures on Sunday will be only in the mid 70s, and the mercury
approaching 50 degrees by early Monday morning of next week. We would not be
surprised if some places wind up in the 45 to 49 degree range by early
Tuesday.

THE TROPICS: Tropical storm Lisa is moving northward through the
central Atlantic and is no threat to land. Elsewhere, the Atlantic basin is
quiet for a change.

HARVEST MOON: Anyone get a glimpse of the big, full harvest moon
last night? The full moon closest to the equinox is called the "harvest
moon", and over the decades has given farmers an extra dose of lighting as
they harvest their crops at this time of the year.

SOAKERS: The remnants of tropical storm Jeanne dropped 4.67" of rain
on Roanoke, VA yesterday. Wilmington, DE picked up 3.43", while the total at
Washington, DC was 2.41".
