GOOD AFTERNOON: October Baseball. It is the best. A Phillies win today
coupled with an Astros loss will force a one game playoff tomorrow. If
Cleveland wins and the Yankees beat the Red Sox today, there will also be a
one game playoff Monday night in Fenway. The Division Series games start on
Tuesday. The Braves will have to wait to see who they are going to play.
The Padres or the Astros. I've got my tickets. Do you? Go Braves!

OUR FORECAST: The airmass over Alabama is unstable enough to produce some
isolated convection this afternoon, but chances look very slim. Skies will
be partly cloudy overnight, with another deck of low stratus forming by
morning, especially over eastern sections. Those clouds will erode by late
morning, allowing for increasing sunshine. Monday and Tuesday look dry,
with partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures continuing.

Wednesday looks a lot like the first two days of the week, but we could see
an increase in showers due to a system moving across the Central Gulf of
Mexico. Check the next section for more details. And then, a cold front
will approach the area from the northwest on Thursday. It should bring
showers and thunderstorms to the area late on Thursday into much of Friday.
Cooler and less humid conditions should arrive for the weekend, but skies
will remain partly cloudy.

IN THE TROPICS: The NHC said goodbye to Tropical Depression 19 on the 10
a.m. advisory. Tropical Depression 20 became Tropical Storm Stan before
making landfall on the eastern side of the Yucatan Peninsula this morning.
Stan should weaken temporarily to a depression, but will quickly intensify
after it emerges over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the early
morning hours tomorrow. With warm waters, low wind shear and high pressure
aloft, Stan will become a hurricane before making its second landfall on the
Mexican coast about 325 miles south of Brownsville, Texas Wednesday morning.
First notice of an area of disturbed weather 500 miles east of the Bahamas.
Yesterday, the GFS developed this into a major hurricane that would move
through the Bahamas and menace the East Coast of Florida before curving
northward to strike the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The morning runs of
both the NAM and the GFS bring a system into the southeastern Gulf Tuesday.
The NAM is stronger as it crosses southern Florida, but both show a westward
moving tropical storm by Wednesday in the Gulf. Since the GFS goes out
further in time, we rely on it to predict that the storm or hurricane will
meander over into the southwestern Gulf. Stay tuned.

ON THIS DATE IN 1963: Hurricane Flora moved across the south coast of
Haiti and then meandered across eastern Cuba for the next five days, lashing
the island with winds of one hundred mph or more for one hundred hours or
more. Rainfall amounts were astronomical, with as much as ninety inches
being reported near Velasco. More rain was reported at Guantanamo Bay from
Flora than was reported during the entire year of 1962. Flora is the
second deadliest hurricane ever in the Atlantic, with over 7,000 deaths.
