...Drier and Cooler Weather Ahead...

Showers and storms overspread Alabama overnight last night. Many areas
received very beneficial rainfall amounts. North of Birmingham and west of
Oneonta, widespread 2-4 inch rainfall estimates were noted on Doppler radar.
Some selected rainfall amounts through 6 a.m.:

3.80 at Tuscaloosa; 3.04 at Scottsboro; 2.80 at Guntersville; 2.41 at
Cullman Ag Station; 2.35 at Russellville; 1.91 at Muscle Shoals; 1.88 at
Decatur; 1.49 at Huntsville International;1.28 at Pinson; 0.85 at Vinemont
(Cullman Airport); 0.73 at Birmingham International; 0.47 at Fort Payne;
0.27 at Anniston.

Some Skywatcher reports: Stephanie Honeycutt in Alabaster reported 1.83;
Grady Gunnells in Sterrett reported 0.83 as of 7 a.m. with steady rain still
falling; 0.79 at my location in Trussville

OUR FORECAST: Our cold front was approaching Birmingham and Huntsville at
noon. This front marks the leading edge of much drier and cooler air that
will overspread the area starting tonight. Most of the showers were well
east of the front, although there could be a few sprinkles this afternoon.
The new airmass will give us beautiful weather through midweek. We will see
low clouds and fog form overnight tonight as skies clear. This means that
most areas will start off on the gray side Monday morning, but sunshine
should quickly return during the morning. Look for those beautiful
stratocumulus clouds to form in the post frontal airmass Monday afternoon.
Morning lows will be in the middle to upper 50s. Lows Tuesday morning will
drop to near 50 degrees on average, with several locations finding the upper
40s. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature near total sunshine. By Thursday,
another weather system will be approaching Alabama. It will not have much
to work with in the way of moisture, so rainfall will be limited. There may
be a few storms with the system as it passes through Thursday night, but
those chances look limited. Precipitation should end early Friday.

TROPICS: Helene has made the transition to an extratropical system. It is
moving out to the east northeast across the Central Atlantic. It may bring
gale force winds to the Azores. A low pressure system affiliated with a
tropical wave over one thousand miles west of the Cape Verde islands
continues to show signs of increasing organization and a tropical depression
may form during the next day or so. The system should remain over the open
Atlantic.

ON THIS DATE IN 1985: Hurricane Gloria was dubbed the "killer storm of
Century" by media, sending entire east coast into a panic. The storm,
packing
measured winds of 156 by aircraft reconnaissance and a central pressure of
918.6 mb, was the strongest ever recorded in the western part of the
Atlantic Ocean.
