...Summer To Make A Comeback...

It was another refreshing morning across Alabama on this early Fall
Saturday. Temperatures were in the forties and lower fifties across the
area. The state's cold spot was DeSoto State Park, where it was 42F.
Readings were not quite as cold as the night before thanks to some clouds
that moved across the area during the night. Those high cirrus clouds are
still with us today.

TONIGHT/SUNDAY: A cold front is well to our northwest, trailing from a
surface low over southern Canada and the Great Lakes region. This front
will push toward Alabama tomorrow. Ahead of the cold front, warm air and
moisture is spreading northward over parts of Louisiana and Arkansas.
Thunderstorms will break out in the warm sector of the system from Southwest
Louisiana to the Great Lakes today and tonight. Some of those storms could
edge over into Northwest Alabama late tonight. They should be isolated to
scattered at best, but some of them could be on the strong side with hail
serving as the greatest threat. The front should sweep through the area on
Sunday, putting an end to any rain chances for awhile.

MONDAY AND BEYOND: High pressure will build over Alabama for the coming
week, with mainly fine and dry conditions expected. Highs will return to
above normal levels, with mid to upper 80s common for daytime highs.

TROPICS: Issac is beginning to recurve to the east of Bermuda. It appears
that the storm's heaviest weather will stay to the east of Bermuda. As it
continues northward, it could threaten the Canadian Maritime provinces and
Newfoundland early on Tuesday. Issac is the ninth named storm of the 2006
North Atlantic Hurricane Season. There have been four hurricanes. Issac may
become the fifth. Our last cold front is lingering across South Florida and
Bahamas. A tropical wave is north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Neither of these systems look like candidates for development. As we head
into October, we hopefully will see the typical decline in activity.

XANGSANE: Xangsane means elephant in Laotian. The powerful typhoon scored
a direct hit on Manila and the Philippines on Wednesday with 145 mph winds.
At that time, it was stronger than it is now. At last report, over sixty
people were killed and at least that many were still missing. The typhoon
is making landfall on the coast of Vietnam today with top winds of 100 mph.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Forest Service officials in Lake Tahoe, California
announced that their annual festival celebrating the spawning run of salmon
to Taylor Creek was being postponed because of warm temperatures. Cooler
temperatures in the Fall trigger the run each year.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: Japan had been struck by eight typhoons as of the end
of September, breaking the old record for a single season. The previous
record was six typhoons (1990.)
