...Much Cooler Today...

Greetings from Amtrak train number 20, The Crescent, rolling northward through Virginia heading toward Washington, D.C. and eventually New York City later today for me as I attend the American Hotel and Lodging Association meeting and International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant show. It is going to be a fun four days in the Big Apple. And a couple of great train rides to boot.

BIG CHANGE UNDERWAY: A beautiful fall day across North and Central Alabama yesterday, with a good deal of sunshine and temperatures well into the 70s. Pinson actually hit 80 degrees, as did Evergreen and Mobile. A cold front is pushing across Alabama this morning. It brought a line of showers and storms to the state overnight. Those storms were severe at times to our west, but fortunately they ran out of gas before they reached Alabama. Precipitation will be ending from west to east across the area through early afternoon with northwesterly winds and cloudiness holding back the mercury to around 60. Skies will clear tonight and temperatures will drop into the middle 30s for the most part.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND: Tomorrow looks good with plenty of sunshine and highs in the lower 60s. Back into the middle 30s under mostly clear skies Sunday night. Monday starts off sunny, but clouds will thicken late in the day and we could see a shower before daybreak with an approaching warm front. Intensifying low pressure to our northwest will lead to chance of severe weather on Wednesday ahead of a cold front. Expect a change to colder after than, with high pressure in charge until the weekend.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Georgia will be at Auburn for an 11:30 kickoff Saturday. Around 68 at kickoff and remaining in the 60s with a chance of showers. For the Alabama-LSU game in Baton Rouge Saturday night, fair and dry weather is expected with about 64 degrees at kickoff, but dropping to near 50 by the end of the game.

STORM ALERT XTREME: I am excited about my trip to New York City, but bummed that it is falling on the date for Storm Alert Xtreme. Today is the day. Be at the BJCC. It starts at 9:30 and goes until 3:00 pm. Two sessions of storm spotter training, including an advanced session in the afternoon. By coming to that, you can also be admitted free to the International Auto Show. The weather people will be in meeting room A. Get there early.

ON THIS DATE IN 1940: The ”Armistice Day Blizzard” is one of the most powerful blizzards on record. The monstrous killed 154 people across the Great Lakes area and the Upper Midwest. Forty nine people died in Minnesota. Shipwrecks on Lake Michigan claimed sixty nine lives. Seventreen inches of snow fell in parts of Iowa and the barometer dropped to 28.66 inches at Duluth, Minnesota. Subzero temperatures and gale force winds made the blizzard one of the most destructive in Iowa history.
