...Perfect Weather Warning...

Our beautiful weather conditions on this Race Sunday warrant the issuance of
my first Perfect Weather Warning of the fall season. A Perfect Weather
Warning means that sunny skies, low humidity values and temperatures in the
upper 70s will be commonplace across the area. When a Perfect Weather
Warning is issued, you should immediately make plans to abandon indoor
activities for the Great Outdoors.

RACE WEATHER: For all of our friends from around the world and here in
Alabama that will make the annual Fall Pilgrimage to the Talladega
Superspeedway, a Perfect Weather Warning is the ideal tonic. When the
green flag drops on Sunday, temperatures will be around 73, rising to around
79 during the middle of the race. Skies will be mostly clear.

MONDAY AND BEYOND: High pressure will give us nice weather through
Wednesday, with a good bit of sunshine. Gradually, a more northeasterly
wind flow will develop and we will see the development of more in the way of
clouds, but still skies will be partly cloudy through midweek. By Wednesday
night, we will begin to feel the effects of an approaching cold front. The
front will spread a pretty decent rain event into the state, accompanied by
a few thunderstorms late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Some could
be strong. This weather system will be followed by the coldest air we have
seen
since last spring, with lows in the 30s by next weekend. .

TROPICS: Nothing serious happening in the tropical Atlantic. A weak
disturbance is over the Bay of Campeche and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
is stationary. This system is not in an area that is conducive for
development. Another is over the western Atlantic between Bermuda and the
Bahamas. The National Hurricane Center thinks that the opportunity for
development into a subtropical storm is passing and cancelled the Hurricane
Hunter flight into the system today.

RAINY SEATTLE? Seattle has quite a reputation for rainy weather. The
interesting fact is that cities such as Atlanta and New York actually are
wetter! But on this date in 1981, four inches of rain fell at Seattle to
establish a record for that city.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: The East Coast low brought record rainfalls yesterday
to parts of Virginia. Lows in Montana this morning were near 50,
establishing record warm minimum temperatures for the date. It was 47 this
morning at West Yellowstone. Some heavy snow is expected in the Teton
Mountains of Wyoming and Montana about 7,000 feet.

THE ZONDA WIND: In Argentina the "Zonda" wind is the equivalent of the
Chinook wind. The downslope wind off the Andes warms and dries through
compression and it descends. On this date in 2003, the temperature at San
Juan soared to 110F with a relative humidity of 1%.
