...Some Frost Is Likely Late Tonight...

The coolest air so far this fall season will continue to flow into Alabama
today. Clouds should cover about the northern third of the state during the
day, and where those clouds hang tough the mercury will have a hard time
getting out of the 40s. The best chance of sunshine will be south of I-20,
but even there highs will be in the mid to upper 50s.

Tonight, as the clouds depart and the wind dies down, the stage is set for
the first widespread frost of the season. By early tomorrow, we project an
average low of 34 degrees. The actual range should be from near 30 for the
colder valleys to near 39 on the ridge tops. Thursday morning should be
almost as cold.

We expect ample sunshine tomorrow and Thursday with highs in the 60s. Still
no sign of any big rain event around here for at least the next seven days;
for some Alabama communities today will be the 18th day in a row with no
measurable rain. Looks like we will have to wait until November before we
get wet again.

WILMA LIVES ON: Actually hurricane Wilma will be making a transformation to
a complex, hybrid storm that will bring lots of rain, snow, and wind to the
northeast U.S. today and tonight. The northern Appalachians could see one to
two feet of snow, mostly in elevations over 1,500 feet. This will be one of
their biggest autumn snows on record. And, coastal cities like New York City
and Boston will see winds gusting to near hurricane force along with a
driving rain.

TROPICS: The rest of the Atlantic basin is relatively quiet now and tropical
storm formation is not expected through mid-week. The season runs through
the end of November, and if there is another tropical storm the name will be
"Beta".
