...Beautiful Weather Day Ahead...

Good morning from the Rust Belt again. No, I am not back in Pittsburgh,
which I enjoyed immensely, by the way. Rather, I am in Cleveland, Ohio. At
least for these two cities, I think that the moniker "Rust Belt" is a
misnomer. I was very, very impressed with the beauty, progressiveness and
cleanliness of Pittsburgh on our Chamber of Commerce Birmingham Innovations
Group benchmarking trip. We were treated with such friendliness and
respect. Having the Chairman of U.S. Steel speak to us over dinner at the
famed Duquesne Club was a highlight of many highlights. The abandoned steel
mills and associated brownfields are being recovered and redeveloped. The
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is a leader. The new convention
center is beautifully located on the river, along with the stadiums for the
Steelers and Pirates. Residential is popping up downtown. The city's
cultural environment is superb. There are a lot of parallels between
Birmingham and Pittsburgh and a fine affinity between our residents. I hope
that we are able to move our city in the same directions at the same
velocity that they have.

OUR FORECAST: Yesterday's cold front is delivering cooler and drier air to
Alabama. Low clouds and fog will be rather commonplace this morning thanks
to all of the residual moisture left over from weekend rains. The stratus
will burn off rather quickly this morning, giving way to increasing
sunshine. Stratocumulus clouds will be the normal as the lower levels of
the atmosphere become slightly unstable beneath cooler air aloft. These
clouds will dissipate this evening, leaving clear skies and making way for
some cool temperatures overnight. Lows will average 50 degrees across the
area, but several areas may make the upper 40s. Tuesday and Wednesday will
be gorgeous days with mild daytime temperatures and cool, comfortable
overnight
readings. Our next weather maker will be a storm system that will approach
the area of Thursday, increasing our cloudiness and our chances for showers.

There could be a thunderstorm too, but that doesn't look likely. The best
chance for rain will come Thursday night, perhaps lasting into early Friday.
A
trough will set up shop over the eastern United States, keeping us cool into
the extended time frames.

IN THE TROPICS: Helene was downgraded to an extratropical storm yesterday.
She is moving out over the northern Atlantic. The tropical wave at about 45
west longitude is moving into an area where upper level winds are less
favorable for intensification and development is not expected at this time.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY : An outbreak of tornadoes associated with the remnants
of Hurricane Rita brought eleven tornadoes to western Alabama. Three of the
tornadoes were F1 intensity. One tornado was captured live on the ABC3340
Towercam in Tuscaloosa. . It was the same Towercam that captured a deadly
F4 tornado on December 16, 2000.
