...Rain Moves Out Today...

We are going to promise some really nice weather for Alabama through
Saturday; sunny warm days, clear cool nights, and low humidity levels. We
will begin with early morning temperatures in the upper 50s, and the mercury
will peak somewhere in the 80s. Sunday will be rain-free as well, but
humidity levels will be on the rise and a few scattered clouds will show up
by afternoon. The weather by Sunday will also feel a little more like summer
with high temperatures near the 90 degree mark.

NEXT WEEK: We will bring back the chance of showers and storms Monday
afternoon, Monday night, and into Tuesday thanks to a cold front moving into
the state from the northwest. That front will be trailing a major early
season winter storm, that promises to dump lots of snow on the northern
Rockies, and into the Dakotas. This will be quite a shock since temperatures
in that region will be well into the 80s this afternoon. Once the front
passes through Alabama, we will enjoy cooler air by the middle of next week,
with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Some of the cooler valleys might
even reach the 40s.

TOPIC: TROPICS: Hurricane Gordon is now a powerful storm packing sustained
winds of over 110 mph, but the system is basically in the middle of nowhere,
in the central Atlantic. Gordon is moving slowly to the northeast, and is no
threat to land. Tropical depression eight should become Tropical Storm
Helene today in the far eastern Atlantic, but it looks like this one has a
good chance of turning northward into the open Atlantic long before getting
close to the U.S. mainland. And, a tropical wave is moving through the
eastern Caribbean with no sign of organization, and upper air winds don’t
look favorable for development today.

EL NINO RETURNS: Scientists at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center reported
yesterday that El Niño conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific and
are likely to continue into early 2007. The development of weak El Niño
conditions helps explain why this Atlantic hurricane season has been less
active than was previously expected. El Niño typically acts to suppress
hurricane activity by increasing the vertical wind shear over the Caribbean
Sea region.

Typical El Niño effects are likely to develop over North America during the
upcoming winter season. Those include warmer-than-average temperatures over
western and central Canada, and over the western and northern United States.
Wetter-than-average conditions are likely over portions of the U.S. Gulf
Coast and Florida, while drier-than-average conditions can be expected in
the Ohio Valley and the Pacific Northwest.
