...A Fine Fall Day in Alabama...

Today is a great example of why fall is my favorite season. We will enjoy a
cobalt blue sky, low humidity, bright sunshine, and very comfortable
temperatures. I can't imagine anyone griping about this weather. Most
communities will reach the 80 degree mark by mid-afternoon, slightly below
normal for late September in Alabama. Tomorrow promises to be a dry and
pleasant day as well.

SHOWERS ON THURSDAY: A very dynamic upper trough will sweep across Alabama
Thursday night. The associated surface cold front will bring some risk of
showers to the state, but the moisture supply will be very limited, and for
now it looks like the best coverage of showers and storms will be over the
far northern part of the state, over the Tennessee Valley. Any showers down
this way, along the I-20 corridor, should be pretty scattered, and rainfall
amounts should be light.

MORE COOL AIR: A fresh supply of cool, dry air will follow the Thursday
night front. Friday will be a sunny, but breezy and cool day with the
mercury struggling to reach the 70s. We should begin the day Friday with
temperatures down in the mid 40s.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: At this point the weather on Saturday looks nice, with
ample sunshine and cool temperatures. Another strong upper air system will
roll through the state on Sunday, and the latest medium range computer
guidance is now suggesting that there could enough moisture for a few
showers and thunderstorms across Alabama. Then, after that front yet another
push of cool and dry air rolls into the state Monday. So, on an average
basis temperatures should remain below normal for the next five to seven
days.

TROPICS: While there are no active tropical storms across the Atlantic basin
now, a disturbance about 950 miles east/northeast of the Leeward Islands
seems to be getting better organized. If this does become a tropical
cyclone, the computer models keep this one out over the open Atlantic, and
the threat to the U.S. mainland seems very small. The next named storm will
be called Isaac.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: One of the wettest places in the nation yesterday was
way up in Alaska, where Juneau picked up 1.49". The high there yesterday was
only 51 degrees, and chilly and wet weather will continue through mid-week.
The hottest place in the U.S. was Gila Bend, Arizona with 105 degrees.

SKYWARN TRAINING TONIGHT: ABC 33/40 meteorologist Brian Peters will be in
Centre in Cherokee County tonight at 6:30 p.m. for a spotter training class.
Brian was invited by Cherokee County EMA Director Beverly Daniels to do the
class which will be held at the Rescue Squad Building, 725 Cedar Bluff Road.
That is on the north side of town along SR 9/68 near the intersection with
CR 118. If you have an interest in tornadoes and what's involved in trying
to spot them, this class is for you. Later this week will be announcing the
date and time for our annual Storm Alert XTREME training event to be held in
Birmingham this fall. Stay tuned!
