...Perfect Weather Warning..

THIS JUST IN:
The ABC3340 Weather Center is issuing a Perfect Weather Warning for
Central Alabama. It is in effect until Monday morning at 11 a.m. A
Perfect Weather Warning means that conditions are ideal for outdoor
activities in the affected area. All residents are urged to head
outside and enjoy the perfect conditions.
GREETINGS FROM THE GULF COAST: The weather is perfect here in Destin
today also. Great day to be on the beautiful beaches of Alabama and
Northwest Florida, with sunny skies, low humidity and highs well into
the 80s. This weather will continue through Monday, with chances for
showers returning by Tuesday.
ANOTHER REFRESHING MORNING: Overnight lows on this Saturday were as
nice as they were yesterday morning across Central Alabama, with
readings uniformly in the 40s. DeSoto State Park checked in with a
low of 39F for the coolest official reporting spot in the state. Most
areas will be near 50 tonight, with cooler locations dipping into the
40s once again.
YOUR FORECAST: Our large high pressure system will slide enough east
to allow for a return flow off the Gulf by tomorrow. Humidity levels
will rise and so wilt the mercury, especially noticeable at night. An
approaching front will set off showers by Tuesday. The question will
be whether a surge of Gulf moisture can get far enough up into Central
Alabama to give us significant rain chances. For now, we will call
for scattered storms on Tuesday with the front passing by Wednesday
and leaving us dry for Thursday.
TROPICS: An area of disturbed weather is over the western Caribbean.
It is associated with a broad area of low pressure that has yet to get
its act together. The overnight run of the GFS was consistent with
previous runs in developing some sort of tropical low by Monday once
the system moves into the Bay Of Campeche, then taking the low
northeast toward the Florida Panhandle or Big Bend area late in the
week. A tropical wave is over the Central Caribbean. It is moving
into an area that is more favorable for development, and this system
will have to be watched as it moves toward the Yucatan also.
ONE YEAR AGO: Up to two feet of snow lay across parts of New York
near Buffalo as the earliest lake effect snowstorm in the area was a
record setter. A record snowfall for any October day fell on the
11th, only to see the record broken the following day. A total of
24.0 inches fell at Depew, NY. Thunder snow was reported throughout
the evening of the 12th and the early morning hours of the 13th. Low
pressure over Ontario set up a long fetch of cold air over the still
warm waters of Lake Erie, producing nearly stationary bands of heavy
snow that continued for two days. The facts that trees were still in
full leaf led to widespread tree damage and power outages. After the
storm, 380,000 people were without power in the area.
