..Welcome Race Fans...

Tens of thousands of race fans are converging on the world's fastest
speedway for a weekend of racing excitement. The weather will be
generally cooperative for the races today and tomorrow. Let's check
it out.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: At the surface, high pressure is centered near
Washington, D.C. Did you see the weather for the Red Sox/Angels game
at Fenway or the Indians/Yankees at the Jake in Cleveland? 80
degrees at nine o'clock at night in Boston? Unseasonably warm
weather in the Southeast. All thanks to this high pressure system,
which ridges all the way down into the Southeast.

THE REST OF YOUR WEEKEND:: A relatively moist easterly flow continues
around that ridge and it is spreading cloudiness into Alabama from
the east. Those stratus clouds are changing into stratocumulus and
eventually cumulus clouds as a still strong fall sun works on them.
A few showers and an isolated storm could form this afternoon.
Humidity levels will continue to be relatively high through the
weekend and temperatures will be warm. Tomorrow will be a lot like
today with a mixture of partly cloudy to cloudy skies and a slight
chance of a mainly afternoon shower or storm. Coverage will be very
small.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The next big player in national weather will be the
very deep upper trough over the Intermountain Region between the
Sierras and Rockies. This powerful system is bringing snow to parts
of the west today. It will swing out onto the Plains, closing off
into a bowling ball of an upper low that will roll toward the Great
Lakes states. It will push a weakening cold front towards Alabama.
It will deliver a shot of showers and storms Monday night into
Tuesday, but starved for moisture, the chances will be low. Drier
air will filter in behind the system, but temperatures will only fall
back to near or just above normal with highs around 80, lows around 60.

TROPICS: Convection flared overnight in the disturbance east of the
Lesser Antilles. But this system is undergoing significant westerly
wind shear and development will be difficult until tomorrow night
when the shear will diminish. It is moving northwest and is no
threat to land. The disturbance over the northwestern Caribbean is
in an area that is favorable for development this time of year. It
is moving west or southwest. The disturbance north of Puerto Rico
shows signs of slow development. If it does develop, it will
eventually move out to sea harmlessly. Only the GFDL believe that it
has a future as a tropical cyclone.

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: Disastrous flooding continued in central and
southern Mexico as a tropical depression over the Gulf of Mexico
produced torrential rains. The weak storm, barely discernible on
weather maps, dumped very heavy rains, forcing 157,000 people from
their homes and killing at least 66 people.
