...A Chilly Start...

Getting off to a chilly start this morning across North and central Alabama.
Some of the normally colder locations are well down in to the 30s, with some
frost. Under sunny to partly cloudy skies, temperatures will warm into the
lower 70s for the most part this afternoon. Our winds will become
southeasterly as we head through the day as high pressure slides off the
east. Those skies should become mostly cloudy this evening, and we could
see a few showers breakout overnight ahead of our next weather maker.

SUNDAY: That weather maker will be in the form of a cold front that will
be sweeping across Alabama during the day. All indications are that it will
move by fairly quickly around the noon time hour, so the best rain chances
will come from about midnight tonight up through mid-morning on Sunday. We
will be in a northerly wind flow Sunday afternoon, and the mercury will
struggle to reach the lower 60s under clearing skies. Sunday night promises
to a be a chilly one, with lows dropping to around 40 in most spots. Then,
as high pressure settles in directly overhead, lots on Monday night will
drop into the middle and upper 30s, with the prospect for a widespread
frost.

HEAVY RAINS NEXT WEEK? Tuesday will feature fine but cool weather. By late
in the day, low pressure will be developing to our west. This spells an
overrunning rain event for Wednesday. The models are divergent in their
solutions as we head into midweek, but there is still a possibility that we
will be dealing with a deep, negatively tilter trough of low pressure, that
could spell severe weather at some point. In any case, rain will be a good
bet through Friday and perhaps into the weekend. Heavy rain could become a
problem. . There is a chance that we could deal with a round of severe
weather during this event.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: For Tulane at Auburn at 1:30 this afternoon, all
sunshine with temperatures peaking near 74 during the game. Alabama will be
in Knoxville to meet Tennessee at 2:30 CDT. About 67 at kickoff and into the
50s by the fourth quarter. Clear weather. Marshall comes to Birmingham to
play UAB at 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Clear with 68 at kickoff and dropping into
the 50s.

ON THIS DATE IN 1988: Nicaragua was lashed by 125 mph winds from Hurricane
Juan. The storm caused $1.5 billion in damage and killed more than 200
people. The most amazing fact about Juan was that the storm traversed over
40 degrees on longitude without every varying even one degree from 12
degrees north latitude. Another amazing fact was that the hurricane
transported African locusts 2000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to islands
in the Caribbean.
