... September Ends On A Dry Day...

For most Alabama communities, this will be the 13th day in a row with no
rain, and the long dry spell will likely continue into the coming weekend.
Temperatures will remain very comfortable, very close to normal levels for
late September and early October.

We are still expecting a cold front to pass through the state on Saturday,
but the computer models continue to suggest that the air will be extremely
dry, and the chance of any one spot getting a brief shower is only about one
in ten.

A nice surge of cool air will roll into the state on Sunday following the
front; possibly the coolest air so far this fall. Some of the colder valley
locations in north Alabama could wind up in the upper 40s early Monday and
Tuesday.

A DRY MONTH: October is normally the driest month in Birmingham. Our rain
for the month averages only 3.23". Not a drop of rain fell during the entire
month of October in 1924.

RACE WEEKEND: The news is good for NASCAR fans coming in for the races this
weekend at the Talladega Superspeedway. Only a very remote chance of a
shower on Saturday, otherwise a partly sunny sky is likely with daytime
temperatures peaking in the mid 80s. On Sunday, we expect ample sunshine
with afternoon temperatures only in the mid 70s along with a fresh
northerly breeze and low humidity. The weather will be dry for qualifying
today and tomorrow with a good deal of sunshine.

FRIGID AIR: Much colder air will invade the U.S. from Canada over the next
five days. Denver could see a mix of rain and snow by tomorrow night, and
parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin could see their first light
snow of the season by early Saturday.
