...A Chilly Start...

A chilly morning across the area this morning with widespread readings in
the 30s. There will undoubtedly be some frost on the pumpkin in the
normally colder locations. In fact, we were very near record readings in
some locations. It is definitely the coolest morning since last spring. A
nice warmup is in store for the remainder of your weekend.

WEEKEND WEATHER: Skies will be mostly sunny today with temperatures
warming into the lower and middle 70s. Tonight, readings will be in the 40s
under clear skies. Tomorrow, we will begin to see high clouds blowing
across the region, coming from a storm system over the southwestern United
States.

HEAVY RAINS NEXT WEEK: There are indications that we will move into a wet
and stormy pattern to start the week ahead. Timing is up in the air, but
rain and storms could begin at some point Monday. Chances of rain and
storms will be high through Tuesday with a complex weather pattern over the
southeast until a cold front moves through late on Tuesday. It looks like
as much as five inches of rain could fall over Mississippi over the next
five days, with 1 to 4 inches possible across Alabama. Storms could be
strong Tuesday.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Ole Miss will be at Alabama with a 2:30 p.m. kick off
in College Gridiron action this afternoon. It should be sunny with
temperatures in the mid 70s and low humidity with temperatures dropping into
the 60s by the final whistle. Florida will be in Auburn for a Saturday night
game, 6:45 p.m. kick off. It should be in the 60s to start the game but in
the 50s during the second half. Different story down in Houston where UAB
will play Rice in a night game. It should be in the 70s , but a good chance
of showers and thunderstorms in the area.

TROPICS: Only a weak disturbance north of Puerto Rico in the tropical
Atlantic this morning. This system should not pose any threat of
development.

ON THIS DATE IN 1941: America's first television weather forecast was
broadcast on New York's WNBT (later WNBC.) There were not mnay televisions
at that time, so viewership was limited to perhaps a few hundred people.
The weather cast consisted of a sponsor's message followed by a screen of
text containing the next day's forecast.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002 Hurricane Hunters were having one of those days as
they tried to fly a mission into newly formed tropical depression number 14.
The Air Force Reserve plane was forced to turn back after it was struck by
lightning. It then was delayed in landing back at base because of
lightning. Then the second plane that was assigned to fly to the storm was
delayed because of.you guessed it..lightning.
