...Warm Afternoons Ahead...

Afternoons will be increasingly warmer across Alabama during the next few
days, with most communities reaching the mid 80s, about ten degrees above
normal for mid-October. The air will remain very dry and there is no chance
of rain here through Thursday.

Our next opportunity for a few showers will come Friday night or Saturday
morning, thanks to a passing cold front. At this point it does not look like
a major rain event due to limited moisture. Following that front, much
cooler air will roll into the state this weekend. Looks like we might stay
in the 60s all day Saturday with a chilly north breeze. Early morning
temperatures should go down in the 40s by Sunday and Monday.

WILMA: This tropical storm in the Caribbean should become a major hurricane
during the next 36 hours as it moves slowly westward through the Caribbean.
Wilma is forecast to turn to the northeast by the end of the week in
response to the upper trough passing through the southeast U.S., and at this
point the greatest risk seems to be over the southern third of Florida.
Places like Port Charlotte or Fort Myers could be directly under the gun
during the coming weekend. At this point the risk to the central Gulf coast
looks very minimal.

WHAT A WARM-UP: The mercury warmed up 40 degrees in Anniston yesterday, from
a morning low of 39 to an afternoon high of 79. This, of course, means the
air is very dry.

IT DOES RAIN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Heavy rain was responsible for a
mudslide along I-5 yesterday; hail up to one inch in diameter was reported
in Pasadena. Burbank reported a rain total of 1.49", while LAX Airport
measured 0.55".
