...Our Weather Stays Dry And Cool...

A cool and dry weather pattern will set up across Alabama for the
foreseeable future. After a frosty start this morning, the mercury should
reach the mid 60s this afternoon with ample sunshine and very low humidity.
Tonight will be another cold one, with lows early tomorrow in the 35 to 39
degree range for most places.

Temperatures will moderate only slightly during the next five days,
remaining below normal for late October. And, the weather remains very dry.
We see no chance of any really significant rain for the rest of the month.

WEEKEND PEEK: Looks nice, with a partly to mostly sunny sky both days and
highs mostly in the upper 60s.

NEXT WEEK: Long range model data suggests another major upper air through
will carve out over the eastern third of the nation early next week, and
should bring another shot of cold air down this way in 6 to 7 days. Looks
like this could be the first widespread freeze of the season toward the
middle of next week. If this happens, it will a little early this year; the
average date of the first freeze here is November 8.

TROPICS: We are watching an area of disturbed weather in the southwest
Caribbean; there is some potential for development in that region in coming
days. If a tropical storm happens to form, the name would be "Beta", and it
should not be a threat to the central Gulf coast due to the persistent upper
air trough over the eastern U.S.

DIGGING OUT: The community of Eldred, PA reported 10 inches of heavy, wet
snow yesterday. About 10,000 people had no power across Pennsylvania due to
the snow yesterday. In Boston, winds gusted to 52 mph as the fierce
nor'easter rolled up the coast.
