...A Beautiful Saturday...

The World Series begins tonight at Comerica Park in Detroit as the Tigers
entertain the St. Louis Cardinals. The weather will be less than perfect
for games one and two. It should be chilly with a slight chance of a shower
during tonight's game, with temperatures falling out of the 40s into the
30s. Tomorrow night, showers will be likely during game two with
temperatures falling through the 40s and a strong northwest winds, averaging
25 mph at times. This will be reminiscent of game four of the 1997 World
Series in Cleveland, when temperatures were in the 30s along with snow
flurries during the game. The series goes to St. Louis Tuesday through
Thursday, and the weather looks decent, with dry conditions and highs in the
60s, lows in the 40s. If we get to games six and seven next weekend,
Saturday looks dry, but Sunday could feature snow showers.

GREAT DAY: After a chilly start this morning, today will be nearly perfect
across the area with lots of sunshine and mild temperatures in the lower
70s. Clouds will rapidly increase this afternoon, however, and showers will
quickly return this evening into the overnight as moisture increases. We
can't rule out a clap or two of thunder, although that looks unlikely. Lows
tonight should drop into the lower 50s.

SUNDAY: Rain should be over for the most part by 7 a.m. tomorrow, except
possibly over eastern sections. Skies will clear during the late morning
hours, with a good bit of sunshine returning by afternoon. It will be
chilly tomorrow night, with lows Monday morning dropping to around 40
degrees.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Tuesday looks like our coldest morning of the next cold
spell with widespread 30s and the potential for our first freeze of the
season in places. Moisture will be increasing late on Tuesday, and showers
will return to the scene during the day on Wednesday as a warm front moves
north from the Gulf. An extended wet weather period will be with us through
at least Saturday, and rainfall amounts could be on the heavy side again.
It's hard to tell if we will deal with any severe weather, but that is a
possibility.

TROPICS: Low pressure that has been north of Puerto Rico for the past few
days has moved westward onto the island of Hispaniola. Heavy showers
continue, and the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch
for parts of the Puerto Rico. His disturbance is expected to remain
essentially stationary over the greater Antilles for the next few days,
weakening as we go through time.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: A tropical depression formed in the southwest
Caribbean Sea, about 360 miles south of Kingston, Jamaica. This disturbance
would intensify over the next few days to become Hurricane Mitch, a monster
storm that would eventually become the second deadliest Atlantic hurricane
of record, behind "The Great Hurricane" of 1780 in the Caribbean.
