...More Showers Ahead...

GOOD MORNING! Matthew's last hurrah came Saturday afternoon as the
sputtering tropical system weakened back into a tropical depression during
the morning hours, then regained tropical storm status during the afternoon.
By evening, the center was far removed from its thunderstorms which were
being blown well to the northeast by strong winds aloft from the southwest.
Still, ship reports indicated the system still had tropical storm force
winds. Mathew will move inland early this morning on the Louisiana coast,
heading on a generally northward course that will carry it into Mississippi
today.

A broad area of rain will accompany the eastern side of the landfalling
system. This rain will move across the Alabama coast and into southern
sections of the state this morning. By early afternoon, showers will
overspread much of Central Alabama, with moderate rain over southern parts
of the state. By evening, much of the state should be seeing rain, but the
precipitation will taper off overnight as the system moves further inland.
It will be increasingly breezy, with easterly winds picking up into the 6-12
mph range today and averaging 15 mph with occasional high gusts this
evening.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Matthew's remnants will move only slowly northward, moving
to near the NW corner of Alabama Tuesday afternoon. Showers may stay with
us into Wednesday. A strong cold front will approach on Thursday, and
indications now are that it will have quite a bit of moisture to work with,
so we will call for showers and storms. It will turn sharply cooler for
the end of the week.

DEADLY SEASON: The Hurricane Season of 1780 was one of the worst in
recorded history, and the storm which destroyed the Windward Islands October
10-12 is the deadliest ever in recorded Atlantic history. It became known
simply as the "Great Hurricane of 1780." It is believed that 22,000
perished in its week long rampage. 9,000 died on the island of Martinique
and nearly 5,000 in Barbados. It was just one of three deadly hurricanes
that month. More in today's edition of Weather Talk.
