...Thanks for nothing Jerry...

The official start to fall will come very early tomorrow morning at
around 4:51 a.m. Someone needs to let the thermometer know. The
mercury is topping out in the upper 80s today. We could even see a
couple of 90 degree readings early in the week ahead.
YOUR FORECAST: Jerry was a no-show. TD ten just never got its act
together. The bulk of its moisture will remain well to the west of
Alabama, but the southerly wind flow around the backside of the low
will jeep our moisture levels high. August type moisture. Isolated
storms will form across the area today and tomorrow in the humid
airmass. Temperatures will run about 6-8 degrees above normal. By
Monday, look for the mercury to edge up another couple of notches
with highs near 90 and nearly no chance of rain. Ditto for
Tuesday. By Wednesday, a trough over the Central U.S. will edge
close enough to begin affecting our weather. Showers and
thunderstorms will break out late on Wednesday and continue on
Thursday. It looks like we might get some decent rain chances in
that time frame, perhaps lasting into Friday. We move back toward
slightly more seasonable readings next weekend.
FOOTBALL FORECAST: Alabama will host Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium
in Tuscaloosa (6:45 p.m. kickoff). The sky will be partly cloudy,
and there is just an outside risk of a shower during the game. The
kickoff temperature will be near 81 degrees. Auburn hosts New Mexico
State at Jordan-Hare Stadium at 6:45; the kickoff temperature will be
near 78 degrees with a partly cloudy sky. A shower is possible.
And, here in the Birmingham area, Samford has a home game tomorrow
evening against SE Missouri State (6:00 p.m. kickoff). The sky will
be partly cloudy with just a small risk of a shower; the kickoff
temperature will be close to 80 degrees.
TROPICS: The remnant low that was tropical depression ten is pushing
across southern Mississippi. It will eventually be swept up in a
trough that will be pushing east early in the week. A tropical wave
over the western Caribbean will move into the southern Gulf on
Sunday. We could see a tropical depression there by Monday. It
should move toward the Texas coast. A tropical wave in the Central
Atlantic is over water that is borderline in terms of oceanic heat
content. It still could develop into a tropical depression in the
next few days. There is a large non tropical low east of Bermuda.
Conditions are not very favorable for development.
ON THIS DATE IN 2002: The area around Birmingham was hard hit by
flash flooding after very heavy rains fell during the early morning
hours. Three to five inches of rain fell in only a few hours, with
some areas picking up over seven inches. Some of the worst damage
was in the Vestavia and Mountain Brook areas.
ONE YEAR AGO: The outbreak of twenty eight tornadoes that struck
from Illinois and Missouri down to Alabama was a record for the
largest September tornado outbreak not caused by a landfalling
tropical cyclone in the U.S. A classic severe weather setup of Gulf
moisture, a powerful approaching cold front and jet stream level
winds of 100 mph caused the outbreak. The tornadoes were unusually
strong, with at least eight rated F2 or higher. The tornado that
struck Crosston, Missouri was rated as an F4.
