...Strong Storms Midweek, Followed by Cold Air...

At least two more nice weather days are in store for us her in North and
Central Alabama. Partly cloudy skies and seasonably mild temperatures in
the upper 70s to near 80 will prevail today. It's more of the same
tomorrow, with temperatures a degree or two warmer than today. Moisture
levels will be on the increase, more quickly tomorrow as our winds turn
around to the southeast as high pressure drifts east and low pressure
develops over the Midwest.

TIMING UNCERTAIN: A clear consensus has not developed in model runs yet on
this system, so the exact timing and amounts of rainfall are uncertain.
This forecast package is based on the following scenario.

A large upper level trough will begin to dig into the central part of the
nation by Tuesday. As it does, a large upper low will begin to barrel down
into the northern Plains. A surface low will develop over the Midwest and
begin moving to the northeast. A surface trough will approach Alabama
beginning late Tuesday night, spreading showers and storms our way by
Wednesday. The probability of severe weather looks small at this time for
Wednesday, but it can't be ruled out completely.

By Thursday, this trough will dominate the eastern half of the country.
Much colder air will pour south. A much stronger cold front will arrive
late on Thursday, likely bringing another round of showers and storms with
it. Behind the front, our winds will turn around to the northwest and they
will become quite breezy and gusty. The arrival of the front will dictate
the temperatures for Thursday. If it arrives early in the day, temperatures
will remain steady or fall slowly during the day. If it arrives late in the
day, they may rise into the upper 60s before falling back. All rain should
end by late afternoon and overnight readings Thursday night will fall into
the lower 40s under cloudy skies. Friday will feature clearing skies with
highs ranging from 58-65 across the area along with a cool north breeze.

FROST POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING: With high pressure overhead, lows on
Saturday morning will drop to 34-38 degrees across North and Central
Alabama, resulting in frost in many areas.

ON THIS DATE IN 1954: Famed Weather Bureau Hurricane Forecaster Grady Norton
died of a stroke while at home in Miami while just after working a 12 hour
day plotting the course of Hurricane Hazel. The Alabama native was 60 years
old. Norton ignored warnings of his medical condition in order to provide
warnings about the Hurricane, which would go onto blast the North Carolina
coast on October 15. Norton is widely recognized as the original director
of the National Hurricane Center even though that position would not be
created during his lifetime. Norton established an extraordinary reputation
as an expert forecaster who had a tremendous ability to communicate with
coastal residents. More about Norton in today's Weather Talk blog.
