...We Need Some Rain Around Here...

For most Alabama communities, today will be the 19th day in a row without a
drop of rain. The last widespread rain was from Hurricane Ivan back on
September 16.

Rain will not in our forecast for the next three days, with lots of sunshine
each day through mid-week with just a few scattered clouds from time to
time. Temperatures will be fairly close to normal levels for early October
in Alabama.

Late in the week, an easterly flow could set up a wedge type situation, with
cooler temperatures over the eastern side of the state. Accordingly, we have
nudged high temperatures downward a bit by Thursday and Friday.

WEEKEND PEEK: A disturbance is expected to form in the northwest Gulf of
Mexico, and that will bring the risk of wet weather to at least parts of the
state by Saturday. It could be that the most widespread rain will fall over
the southern half of the state, but for now we will mention a few periods of
rain for north and central on both Saturday and Sunday. We should also point
out this is still hurricane season, and we will be watching for any signs of
tropical organization in the western Gulf later in the week.

We will probably have to fine tune the weekend forecast a good bit over the
next few days, so watch for changes.

EARLY COLD BLAST? The longer range model output suggests the coldest air so
far this season could invade Alabama in about two weeks or so. This could
put temperatures around here in the 30s during the early morning hours along
with the possibility of some frost. Stay tuned!

AROUND THE HORN: Dallas/Fort Worth was soaked with 2.33" of rain yesterday.
Cold spot in the nation was Plentywood, MT with 16.
