...Perfect Weather Warning Again...

For the second week in a row, we are able to issue a perfect weather warning
for Sunday for North and Central Alabama. The criteria for a perfect
weather warning include mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the middle or
upper 70s and light winds. Those conditions will exist across the area
tomorrow, and really for the rest of this afternoon. Remember, a perfect
weather warning means that you must get outside and enjoy the finest weather
Alabama has to offer.

RAINFREE WEEK: The old rain gauge did not move one iota at the Birmingham
Airport since you and I last talked on Monday morning. (There was a trace
of rain Friday during the early morning hours.) We are stuck on 46.00
inches of rain for the year, and our surplus fro the year is dropping. It
is now down to less than three inches. That will be changing.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: High pressure is centered over southeastern Arkansas.
This anticyclone is linked with another over the northern Rockies and the
result is that most of the eastern U.S. is enjoying a fine October Day. The
only fly in the ointment is lake effect rain and snow showers off Lakes Erie
and Ontario. These are being caused by cold winds rotating around a huge
low in the province of Ontario. A cold front stretches from South Texas to
southern Florida. A big upper level low over the southwestern United States
is combining with a dual moisture feed from the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico
to produce showers and storms over Southern California, Arizona and New
Mexico.

OUR FORECAST: Fine weather through tomorrow for us here in Alabama.
Temperatures will continue to slowly warm as our winds become more
southeasterly. A warm front will begin moving northward by Sunday night.
It will increase our rain chances along with the possibility of a few storms
on late on Monday into Monday night. We should deal with a squall line at
some point late Monday night into Tuesday morning. As the low passes us
late on Tuesday, the cold front will sweep across and skies will clear
behind it. Wednesday should be a nice day with mild temperatures and
sunshine. Rain will return on Thursday as we continue in the middle of an
active weather pattern.

TROPICS: Nothing much to report in the tropical Atlantic today. The
disturbance north of Puerto Rico has been torn apart by wind shear. There
have been nine named storms os far in the Atlantic, including five
hurricanes. .

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A tornado touched down in Hurricane. Not in a
hurricane, but in the town of Hurricane. Hurricane, Virginia. The storm
was accompanied by heavy rains, high winds and lightning. No injuries were
reported.
