...A Weekend Chill Ahead...

While our short term forecast does highlight unseasonably warm afternoons, we are looking at a big change to cooler weather for Alabama and the deep south over the coming weekend.
While high temperatures will reach the mid 80s today and tomorrow, we will struggle to reach the mid 60s on Saturday and Sunday with clouds and a cool north breeze. A few scattered showers are possible along the cold front Friday night and Saturday morning, but rain amounts should be relatively light and spotty.

There is a chance that many north Alabama communities will have their first frost of the season around the middle of next week.

TROPICS: Hurricane Wilma is expected to become a very dangerous category four hurricane over the northwest Caribbean during the next 24 hours. The system is forecast to take a right turn over the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico Friday, which will take it into the southern part of Florida over the weekend. The latest projections suggest landfall near, or perhaps just south of Fort Myers Saturday night. Then, Wilma comes out into the Atlantic Sunday somewhere between Melbourne and Fort Lauderdale. Wilma should be a category two or three hurricane at the time of landfall.

SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS DAY: Today is fall severe weather awareness day in Alabama, a reminder that we have a secondary season of severe storms and tornadoes in November and early December. Be sure you have a NOAA Weather Radio receiver in your home so you can get tornado warnings, and have a plan of action for you and your family.

AN OCTOBER CHILL: Coldest place in the nation yesterday morning was the community of Embarrass, MN with 17 degrees.
