...Thank you Humberto...

Much of Central Alabama received beneficial rains Thursday night and
Friday thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Humberto. The system has
been just what the doctor ordered. It came inland as a minimal
hurricane, caused little damage and brought gentle rains to a drought
stricken Alabama. While it does not erase the massive rainfall
deficits, it does help the short term situation somewhat.
NICE WEEKEND: Drier air means lots of sunshine and cooler
temperatures for the weekend, including 50s across much of the area
by tomorrow morning. There might even be some 40s in the normally
colder locations of North Alabama. You will notice a fresh northerly
breezy today. Highs today and Sunday will be seasonable, right
around 80.
WEDGE ACTION FOR NEXT WEEK: The trough that is bringing us
the cooler and drier conditions will cut off into an upper low over
the Southeast Coast by tomorrow. High pressure at the surface over
the Northeast will produce a persistent easterly flow by Monday.
This flow off the Atlantic will begin to moisten our atmosphere,
meaning more clouds, a fresh easterly breeze and a chance of a shower
by Wednesday. Meanwhile the upper low will retrograde, or move west,
increasing our shower chances each by Thursday – Saturday.
FOOTBALL FORECAST: Auburn travels to Starkville where clear
skies and temperatures of 78-82 will prevail along with a fresh
northerly breeze. Alabama takes on Arkansas in a 5:45 contest at the
Capstone. Clear and comfortable conditions with game time
temperatures falling from the 80s into the upper 60s by game's end.
UAB entertains Alcorn State in an evening tilt at Birmingham's Legion
Field. Expect similar conditions to T-town with fair skies, fall
feeling temps and a dying breeze.
TROPICAL STORM INGRID: The ninth named storm of the 2007
North Atlantic Hurricane Season continues plodding northwestward this
morning east of the Windward Islands. It has strengthened to a
modest 50 mph storm, but is expected to go downhill starting soon as
a result of shear from strong westerly winds. It will likely weaken
to a tropical depression over the next day or so. The ridging that
has been so prominent for much of the summer has weakened, giving
Ingrid the opportunity to move north northward. It should curve out
to sea in the extended period, if it survives that long.
ON THIS DATE IN 2004: States of emergency were declared
in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida as powerful category
four hurricane Ivan steamed toward the northern Gulf Coast. Ivan was
the third strong hurricane to affect the United States in a thirty
three day period since Hurricane Charley. Curfews were in place.
Prisoners had to be moved out of the Mobile County Jail out of fears
that the facility would flood. Casinos were closed along the
Mississippi Coast. The city of New Orleans, the Mississippi Coast and
the City of Mobile were spared the worst as the hurricane moved more
to the east, making landfall near Gulf Shores around 1:50 a.m. on the
16th.
