...Drier Air Slips Into Alabama...

After a long day of strong to severe storms and heavy rain, the weather will
be much calmer today across Alabama. While we cannot totally rule out the
chance of a stray shower or storm, many communities will be rain-free, and
we should see a decent amount of sunshine this afternoon. Temperatures will
rise to near 80 degrees, about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for mid to late
October around here.

The weather should be dry and rather warm both tomorrow and Friday as warm
air aloft caps off any shower formation.

THE WEEKEND: A cold front will bring the chance of showers to the northern
half of the state Saturday night and Sunday morning. At this point we don't
expect any really heavy rain or strong storms. By Sunday afternoon the best
chance of rain will shift down into the southern part of Alabama. Still no
unusually cool air in sight for the next five to seven days.

TUESDAY'S SOAKERS: Rain totals around Alabama yesterday included: 5.95" at
Haleyville, 3.72" at Cullman, 3.31" at Trussville, 3.17" at Muscle Shoals,
2.83" at Black Creek (Etowah county), 2.66 at Gadsden, 2.58" at
Jacksonville, and 1.89 at Talladega,.

Despite a number of tornado warnings, no major damage was reported across
the state yesterday from the severe storms. There were a number of reports
of hail across Marengo, Dallas, and Lowndes counties. Flash flooding was a
problem in the Tennessee Valley yesterday morning.

DAMAGE SURVEY: The Huntsville NWS office conducted a storm survey yesterday
and determined damage north of Florence Monday evening was caused by an F1
tornado. There were some minor injuries associated with this tornado.
