...Blue Sky and Sunshine...

Dry weather continues to headline our forecast package through tomorrow with
a warming trend. We expect highs in the mid 70s today, and upper 70s
tomorrow, well above the normal high of 69 degrees for this part of
November.

THE WEEKEND: Our chance of beneficial rain continues to fade in the 4 to 7
day time frame. A fairly potent weather system will pass across the Great
Lakes on Sunday, but most of the dynamics will remain well to the north of
Alabama. We will mention only widely scattered showers Sunday, with the best
chance of rain over the Tennessee Valley of extreme north Alabama. Once
again, rain down this way should be light and spotty if we see rain at all.
The longer range computer models suggest temperatures in Alabama will remain
mostly above normal for the first half of November, with most of the big
rain and thunderstorm producing systems remaining to the north. We do need
rain; Birmingham's rain deficit for the year is now over four inches. Up in
Huntsville, the rain deficit for the year is well over 14 inches.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, and tropical storm formation is
not expected for the next three days or so. The wild hurricane season of
2005 will wrap up at the end of this month. There have been a record 23
named storms this season, and if a late season tropical storm forms the name
will be "Gamma".

ROAMING: Hottest place in the nation yesterday was Casa Grande, AZ with 93
degrees. In contrast, Fairbanks, AK dropped to 10 degrees below zero early
yesterday morning. There was not a single lightning stoke around the entire
nation yesterday on the national lightning network as very quiet weather
continues.
