...Another Beautiful Sunday...
Our run of nice weekend weather will continue again today with lots of
sunshine, scattered clouds and warm temperatures. Readings should make it
into the middle and upper 70s across the area. We will re-issue the Perfect
Weather Warning for today. Get out and take advantage of our fine fall
weather.
CHANGES IN THE OFFING: A big upper level low has been moving across the
southwestern United States this weekend. That low is expected to open up
into a strong trough of low pressure that will move to the east in the
coming days. Some high cirrus clouds will move across the area later today,
a harbinger of things to come. The frontal system that has delivered all of
the cool air to Alabama is poised to start coming back north as a warm front
later today.
Meanwhile, the surface high to the east of Alabama will continue to retreat
to the northeast and low pressure will develop over Texas. Moisture levels
will rapidly increase over Alabama starting today and some moist and
unstable air will be over the state, especially by Monday.
STORMY MONDAY: Rain and storms will overspread the state on Monday as the
warm front moves across the area. It will not be a classic setup for severe
weather, with widespread convection occurring. But there could be severe
storms along the warm front as it moves to the north. Then additional
strong to severe storms could occur with the strong forcing ahead of the
approaching trough. Heavy rainfall will also be a possibility. The
heaviest rain may occur to the southwest and west of Alabama, but most areas
will get a beneficial soaking. Some areas may get two inches or more.
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN: It now appears that the front associated with the
trough my stall just to our south by Wednesday morning. Low pressure will
ripple along this front, perhaps spreading some rain back into Central
Alabama then. Meanwhile, a big upper level trough will still be back over
the western
United States. This trough will be moving eastward by Thursday, pushing a
cold front and line of thunderstorms our way. The storms should push
through by midnight Thursday night, and colder air will spread back into the
state. Friday should feature clearing skies and while Saturday will start
cool, a nice warmup will ensue as winds quickly return to southerly.
ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Balmy weather made it feel like summer in Chicago as
the Cubs and Marlins squared off for games one and two of the National
League Championship series. The warmth and a gentle wind blowing out at
Wrigley contributed to an offensive barrage that saw thirty two rungs scored
in the two games. Florida won the first game 9-8 in an eleven inning
contest that saw an NLCS record seventeen extra base hits. The Cubs evened
the series at 1-1 with a 12-3 victory in Game Two.
