GOOD AFTERNOON: It is a gorgeous October day across Alabama on this Sunday
afternoon. Crystal clear blue skies and cool temperatures in the upper 60s
to lower 70s are making for a refreshing day outdoors. High clouds which
are the outflow from Hurricane Wilma are edging into Southeast Alabama. And
to the northwest, clouds are beginning to invade northwestern sections of
the state ahead of another cold front.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-MONDAY): Low clouds associated with the front will
move across the area. There may also be a few sprinkles associated with the
system, but rainfall amounts will be negligible. Northerly winds will stay
up just a bit tonight, averaging 10 mph, helping to keep temperatures up
just a bit and preventing widespread frost. Most lows will be around 40
degrees tonight, with a few 30s in the normally colder locations. Dewpoints
will drop back into the lower 30s by morning. A big upper trough will set
up shop over Alabama tomorrow, and with a couple of disturbance rotating
across the area, clouds will be around along with a chance of a sprinkle,
although some sun will be present also.

Temperatures tomorrow will struggle to get out of the 50s in most locations
with a brisk north wind that will average 15 mph.

THROUGH MIDWEEK... A big upper low sets up over the Ohio Valley, giving
periods of cloudiness and maybe even a few sprinkles on Tuesday. The low
should begin to rotate out to the northeast, moving far enough away to allow
sunshine to predominate again by Wednesday. Correspondingly, temperatures
will start a deliberate rise also.

...AND BEYOND... Thursday looks to be a nice day with sunshine and cool
temperatures. The GFS model hints at the development of an upper level low
over the Southeast and Alabama by Friday. This could bring back periods of
cloudiness and a few sprinkles.

TROPICS: Hurricane Wilma is accelerating northeastward this afternoon,
heading toward a rendezvous with Southwest Florida. The category two
hurricane may intensify enough to be a category three storm at landfall
Monday morning, but it is moving into an area of increasing wind shear and
could weaken a bit just as well. Tropical Depression Alpha is poised to
emerge over the open water north of Hispaniola.

ON THIS DATE IN 1920: Famed research meteorologist Theodore Fujita, was
born on this date in Kitakyushu City, Japan Fujita, known as "Mr. Tornado"
after developing the international standard for measuring tornado severity,
also discovered microbursts - sudden, severe downdrafts that can result in
150 mph winds on or near the ground - after studying the starburst patterns
of trees uprooted by tornadoes.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: In California, where skies were obscured from smoke
from massive forest fires, people glancing at the sun were startled to see
blotches on the massive star. Those black patches were sunspots. The
sunspots cause solar flares, which can disrupt communications on Earth.
They also cause displays of the aurora borealis, or northern lights.
