...A Long Stretch of Dry Weather...

The coolest air so far this season will roll into Alabama today on brisk
north winds. Despite sunshine in full force, temperatures will struggle to
reach the low 70s over the northern counties of the state, about ten degrees
above normal for late September in Alabama. By tomorrow morning, the mercury
should drop into the mid 40s in most communities, while the colder valleys
will be closer to 40 degrees.

THE WEEKEND: Tomorrow promises to be another beautiful day, with ample
sunshine and afternoon temperatures recovering into the mid to upper 70s. A
more pronounced warming trend begins Sunday afternoon as we rise into the
80s. A few fair weather cumulus clouds will show up Sunday, but there is no
significant chance of rain.

WARMER NEXT WEEK: Thanks to an upper air pattern flip, next week should
feature temperatures well above normal, with daily highs well into the 80s.
A few spots might even touch 90 by Tuesday or Wednesday, especially over the
western half of the state. The ridge aloft should suppress afternoon shower
formation, and at this point most of the week looks rain-free.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: You can't ask for better weather for the high school games
across the state tonight. The weather will be clear and cool, with
temperatures dropping from the mid 60s at kickoff into the upper 50s by the
fourth quarter.
Tomorrow, Alabama will play Florida down in Gainesville (2:30 p.m. kickoff).
The weather during the game will be warm and dry, with about 83 degrees at
kickoff. The mercury will fall into the upper 70s by the end of the game.
UAB's homecoming game is against Troy tomorrow night at Legion Field at
6:00. Once again, excellent weather conditions with a clear sky. The
temperature will drop from near 75 at kickoff to around 70 by the fourth
quarter.

TROPICAL WEATHER WORLD: Tropical Storm Isaac is in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean, and will stay far from the U.S. over the next five days as
it recurves to the northeast in the open water. A disturbance over the far
northern Leeward Islands has weakened overnight, and any additional
development will be slow to occur.

ODDS AND ENDS: Barrow, Alaska, on the Arctic coast, will enjoy 11 hours and
28 minutes of daylight today. However, on November 19 the sun will set, and
won't appear until January 23 as that frigid community will be in darkness
and periods of twilight. Yesterday's high in Barrow was only 34 degrees. Hot
spots in the nation were Palm Springs and Death Valley, CA with 106. Phoenix
was pretty warm for late September with a high of 102. Kentucky
thunderstorms dropped 1.36" at Lexington and 1.05" at Louisville. Here in
Alabama, the NWS reported "eye ball" sized hail from a thunderstorm in
Elmore County, northeast of Montgomery.
