...Dry Through The Weekend...

A passing disturbance aloft could bring a few scattered clouds to Alabama
today, but we still expect ample sunshine with highs up in the mid 60s. The
beautiful fall weather stays in place through the weekend with pleasant days
and chilly nights. Temperatures will remain below normal values for late
October in Alabama as a reinforcing shot of cool air slips in here tonight
following the upper impulse.

NEXT WEEK: It beginning to look like wet weather will be a possibility by
Monday night and Tuesday of next week as a disturbance aloft approaches
Alabama from the west. For many Alabama communities, today is the 19th day
in a row without measurable precipitation, so a little rain would be quite
welcomed by most folks.

TROPICS: A strong disturbance over the far southwest Caribbean became
tropical storm twenty six last night. It could become tropical storm Beta
today; it should move into Nicaragua by tomorrow night or Friday where
serious flooding will be possible.

Another tropical wave will move into the eastern Caribbean today, and that
one also has the potential to become a tropical depression in a day or so.
Sea surface temperatures have cooled in the Gulf of Mexico, which means a
major tropical system is very unlikely for the central Gulf coast.

RECORD COLD: Greenwood, MS dropped to 29 degrees yesterday morning, beating
the old record of 30 set 50 years ago in 1955. Tallahassee, FL also
established a new record low with 33 degrees and scattered frost.

FALL BACK: We gain one hour of sleep this weekend as we go back to standard
time. Clocks will need to be turned back one hour before you go to bed
Saturday night.
