...Rain and Storms Ahead...

The long awaited storm system will finally bring rain and thunderstorms to
Alabama tonight and tomorrow, followed by a big change back to cooler
temperatures for the latter half of the week.

A few showers could break out this afternoon, especially over west Alabama,
but it looks like the main rain event will come tonight and tomorrow. The
threat of severe weather continues to look low due to weakening upper air
support, decreasing wind fields, and only marginal instability values. Some
fairly decent rain totals are possible, with some spots getting between one
and two inches between now and Wednesday night. The heaviest rain should
come over the north and west part of the state.

Our fall heat wave will end during mid-week as much cooler air pushes in
here on Thursday. We are projecting a high on Thursday of 65, which will be
four degrees below normal for November 4. A secondary push of cool air will
arrive on Friday, and by Saturday morning we are expecting lows in the 38 to
43 degree range across the northern half of the state.

WEEKEND PEEK: The weekend should feature delightful fall weather, with sunny
crisp days and clear cold nights. Almost maximum available sunshine on both
Saturday and Sunday.

EVEN COLDER? Some of the longer range guidance suggests even colder air will
arrive in about one week, and if that is the case we might have the first
freeze of the season over parts of north Alabama by November 8 or 9.

ROAMING: Montgomery's high of 87 yesterday was a new record for the date,
and tied the all-time record high for November. Little Rock, AR was soaked
with 2.77" of rain yesterday. Hot Springs, AR measured 11.95" during
October.
