...Beneficial Rain In the Days Ahead...

PERIODS OF RAIN CONTINUE: A deep, closed upper low will be stalling
out somewhere in the vicinity of Shreveport, Louisiana through mid-
week, keeping Alabama in an unsettled weather pattern for the next
several days. We will continue to forecast periods of rain today and
tonight, with additional rain amounts of one-half to one inch likely.
Dynamic cooling from the deep upper low to the west means that
temperatures could actually fall today; we will begin the day in the
upper 60s, but we expect to be in the low 60s by late afternoon. The
air will be relatively stable and we don't expect any severe weather.
In fact, there won't be too much in the way of thunder and lightning.

TOMORROW AND THURSDAY: Some drier air should circulate into Alabama
tomorrow, but we will maintain the chance of a few showers due to
colder air aloft. Pretty much the same story on Thursday, we will
have the chance of a few passing showers. On both days we might see
some decent peeks of sunshine, with highs only in the 66 to 69 degree
range.

FRIDAY: The upper low will finally lift out north of Alabama, and a
surface cold front will pass through the state. This will bring
another round of showers and
thunderstorms. Those showers should end from west to east during the
afternoon, and there is a good chance the rain will be over by the
time the high school football games begin Friday night.

HOW MUCH RAIN? We believe most Alabama communities have a good chance
of getting 2 to 3 inches of rain between now and Friday, and if you
factor in the rain that fell yesterday and last night, storm totals
of 5 inches are possible. Not bad for a state that mostly remains in
the middle of an exceptional drought.

RAIN SO FAR: Here are some rain totals from across Alabama as of late
last night: 3.29" at Brookley Field in Mobile, 2.75" at Muscle Shoals
(a new daily rain record for October 22), 2.04" at Mobile, 1.69" at
Dauphin Island, 1.27" at Hamilton, .83" at Gulf Shores (ABC 33/40
SKYCAM), .76" at Desoto State Park, .45" at Gaylesville. .33" at
Centre, and .28" atop Mount Cheaha (SKYCAM). Some tornado damage was
reported in the far southern end of Mobile County around Tillman's
Corner and Coden.

WEEKEND PEEK: We expect a clearing sky Friday night, and the weekend
looks rain-free at this time with mostly sunny mild days and clear
cool nights. Afternoon highs will be in the 70 to 75 degree range,
with early morning lows between 47 and 53.

STORM ALERT XTREME: We hope to see you on Saturday, November 10 at
the BJCC for our annual severe storm training session. Once again
this year, the Alabama International Auto Show is a sponsor of Storm
Alert XTREME, and it will be held at the BJCC. This is your chance to
learn more about Alabama weather, and to be trained as a storm
spotter. ABC 33/40 Meteorologist Brian Peters will teach a basic and
advanced course on spotting small scale features within thunderstorms
that are very important to meteorologists.
