...Lots of Weather Changes Ahead...

We have lots of weather changes ahead during the next seven days. You know
the old saying; if you don't like the weather, stick around for a few
minutes and it will change. Today promises to be another dry day with a very
nice warm-up; most communities will rise into the 80 to 85 degree range this
afternoon, and this should be our warmest day of the week.

SOME RAIN RETURNS: While we expect rain amounts to be on the light side, we
will bring back the chance of a few showers tomorrow and Thursday as a
couple of surface fronts will be passing through. Our first front tomorrow
might even bring a thunderstorm, but with only limited moisture and
instability we don't expect a big problem with severe weather. Then, on
Thursday, a few more showers are possible on the second front, one of Arctic
origin, but again rain probably won't amount to much with very little
moisture to work with.

BIG SHOT OF COOL AIR: While the change to cooler weather will begin Thursday
thanks to the airmass following the first front, the coolest air so far this
season will roll in here on Friday. Despite a decent amount of sunshine, we
are projecting high temperatures on Friday only in the 60 to 65 degree
range, about 15 degrees below normal for mid-October. Then, by Saturday
morning, the mercury will drop to near 40 degrees across North Alabama.
This, of course, means some of the colder valleys will dip into the 30s, and
there is come risk of scattered frost in these places for the first time
this season.

WEEKEND PEEK: Saturday should be a beautiful autumn day, with lots of
sunshine and a very nice warm-up after a cold morning. Highs Saturday
afternoon should be in the 73-78 degree range with lots of sunshine and low
humidity. But, moist air will begin to return Saturday night, and a few
showers or storms could show up by Sunday afternoon as a disturbance
approaches from the west. Periods of rain and a few thunderstorms should
continue Sunday night and Monday; there is a chance this system could bring
some beneficial rain to much of Alabama and the Deep South.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet and tropical storm formation is
not expected through mid-week. The hurricane season runs through the end of
November, but major hurricanes are relatively rare past mid-October as sea
surface temperatures cool.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Lots of snow yesterday and last night across the
mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. The community of Vallecito (elevation
10,600 feet), in southwest Colorado, reported 8 inches of snow in the ground
last night. The coldest place in the U.S. yesterday morning was Polebridge,
Montana with 14 degrees. Cold air is in place over North Alaska; the high in
Barrow yesterday was only 25 degrees after a low of 22. The warmest spots in
Alabama yesterday were Tuscaloosa, Fort Payne, and Mobile with 82 degrees.
Birmingham's official high was 80.
