...Light Freeze Likely Tomorrow Night...

You have to love October in Alabama. It may be our finest weather of the
year. Generally tranquil and dry with mild temperatures. I personally am
partial to spring, but I have to admit, October grows on me each year. This
October has been unusually wet with some fairly generous rain events. That
was a nice pop of precip Saturday night and Sunday morning with over an inch
and a half at the Birmingham Airport. And more is on the way.

FREEZE ALERT: Colder air has been flowing into Alabama all day on a brisk
northwesterly wind. Skies should clear completely tonight, but the winds
may stay up just a tad, and lows will drop into the upper 30s for the most
part. A few of the normally colder locations may drop to near freezing, but
a widespread freeze does not appear likely. Different story for Monday
night. Cold high pressure will settle in directly over Alabama and ideal
radiational cooling conditions and calm winds will allow for readings to
drop to near or just below freezing at most locations. A Freeze Warning
will likely be issued for this event. Monday and Tuesday will be nice but
still chilly days. We might not even get out of the 50s tomorrow with a
brisk northerly wind.

MIDWEEK CHANGES: Deepening low pressure to our west and retreating high
pressure will work in tandem to turn our winds around to the south by late
on Tuesday and moisture levels will start to rise. Readings on Wednesday
morning will be a bit warmer and clouds will begin to increase during the
day as a warm front moves northward across the area. Rain and few storms
will accompany the front northward. Additional impulses will ripple across
the area, keeping our rain chances high through Thursday until a cold front
sweeps across the area early on Friday. Rainfall could be heavy on Thursday
as the frontal system slows down and it will be a bit windy. Friday will be
cloudy, windy and cooler with some wraparound moisture also producing a few
periods of light rain. Rainfall amounts from this system could average two
inches.

HEADING INTO THE WEEKND: A large upper low will keep us cool and just a bit
unstable as we head into the weekend. Skies will be partly sunny, with a
chance of a few showers. Temperatures will remain slightly below normal. We
get back an hour of sleep next weekend as Daylight Saving Time ends.

IT WAS CHILLY BACK IN 1987: It was 23F in Pinson and 28F at the Birmingham
Airport back on this date in 1987. Both were the coldest readings on record
for so early in the season.

ON THIS DATE IN 1987: The precipitation total for the year at Yakutat AK
reached 190 inches, surpassing their previous annual record. Over forty
inches of rain fell during the month of October!
