...Fall has Arrived...

As J.B. says, we weather humans have been counting the entire month
of September as fall. We call it meteorological fall, because the
three months from September through November are the true transition
months. Astronomically speaking, fall begins with the autumnal
equinox, which was observed at 4:51 a.m. CDT this morning. The
equinox marks the point that the sun crosses the celestial equator on
its way south for the winter. Day and night will be the same length
today.

FALL MAY HAVE ARRIVED: But someone needs to tell the thermometer.
It will feel more like August through Tuesday as our persistent
companion, high pressure, builds back into Alabama. Moisture levels
are high since the Gulf of Mexico is open for business, making it
feel humid and keeping overnight lows elevated. We will likely even
see a few readings in the 90s over the next three days.

YOUR FORECAST: But someone needs to tell the thermometer. It will
feel more like August through Tuesday. Moisture levels are high
since the Gulf of Mexico is open for business, making it feel humid
and keeping overnight lows elevated. We will likely even see a few
readings in the 90s over the next three days. We should see better
coverage of showers and storms today. But tomorrow, high pressure
will begin to build into Alabama from the east. This will dampen
those storm chances Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, storms will
begin to form as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Those
storms will be most likely on Thursday with drier conditions by the
weekend.

TROPICS: We will be monitoring a low pressure system over the next
two days as it moves out of the northwestern Caribbean, across the
Yucatan and into the southern Gulf of Mexico. It may well become a
tropical depression. I think it will move toward the Texas and
Louisiana border, making landfall late on Monday. The bulk of that
moisture will move up into the Arklatex. The presence of the low may
help overcome the effects of the high pressure ridging and give us at
least a shot at some showers in the Monday/Tuesday time frame. We
can hope. In the Atlantic, disturbed weather east of the islands has
a marginal chance of developing over the next few days. A
disturbance further east near the Cape Verde Islands has a little
better chance. A large non tropical low east of Bermuda
poses no threat to anything but shipping interests.

VENUS WATCH: Look for a brilliantly bright Venus in the eastern sky
before sunrise this week. It is at its brightest this morning, but
will provide a good show all week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1722: A powerful hurricane struck the northern Gulf
Coast, causing tremendous damage from Mobile to New Orleans. The
newly established capital of New Orleans was heavily damaged. This
storm was also responsible for the city of Mobile being moved to its
present location from its original site which was 27 miles north of
the mouth of the Mobile River.
