...A Big Change To Cooler Weather...

After a day of rain and storms, much cooler air invades Alabama today with
temperatures holding in the low to mid 60s. Any lingering showers should end
early in the day, and some clearing is possible by afternoon, especially
across west Alabama.

The mercury should drop into the 40 to 45 degree range early tomorrow, but
the coldest morning will come early Saturday. We are now projecting mid 30s
Saturday morning with the potential for scattered frost in valleys. Some of
the colder valleys might even touch the freezing mark for the first time
this season. The rest of the weekend will be delightful with sunny pleasant
days and clear cold nights.

A GOOD SOAKING: Rain totals yesterday across Alabama included 2.59" at
Collinsville, 2.27" at Ashville, 2.11" at Cullman, 1.93" at Tuscaloosa,
1.75" at Nauvoo, 1.73" at Black Creek (near Gadsden), 1.61" at Blount
Springs, 1.46" at Clay, and 1.36" at Legion Field in Birmingham.

TUSCALOOSA STORMS: A fire at a church on Bryant Drive in Tuscaloosa was
blamed on a lightning strike last night. Heavy rain was also responsible for
flooding on McFarland Blvd. near the intersection with University Blvd.

A WARM OCTOBER: The National Weather Service reports an average temperature
of 69.0 degrees in Birmingham during the month of October, making it the
seventh warmest October on record. Mobile's average temperature was 74.2
degrees, making October 2004 the 3rd warmest on record for the Port City.
ALASKA CHILL: Yesterday's low in Bettles, Alaska was a bone chilling 31
degrees below zero. Nuiqsut and Anaktuvuk Pass reported 22 below. Winter
must be getting close...
