...A Cool, Damp Day For Alabama...

NOT MANY OF THESE LATELY: We haven't forecast a "cool and damp" day
for a long time, but that is what we expect today thanks to a stalled
upper low just west of here. While the sun might peek out from behind
the clouds at times, the day will be generally cloudy with occasional
showers. Looks like temperatures will hover in the 50s all day; our
high today should be about 12 to 15 degrees below normal for October 24.

The upper air pattern is blocked across North America for the moment,
and the upper low is not expected to move much tomorrow, so the
weather won't change too much. Still unseasonably cool, lots of
clouds around, and a few passing rain showers. Additional rain
amounts of one-half inch are likely between now and tomorrow night.

Then, on Friday, the upper low lifts to the northeast, and drier air
moves in from the west. We will mention a small risk of a shower on
Friday, but it looks like most communities will be dry with a warming
trend beginning as the sky becomes partly sunny.

The weekend ahead looks delightful for Alabama, with mostly sunny
mild days and clear, cool nights. It is interesting to note that some
of the computer models have hinted at some kind of tropical system
forming over the Southeast Gulf of Mexico over the weekend, but it
will move northeast, across the Florida peninsula, and into the
Atlantic if something does form down there.

A BIG TIME SOAKING: No, you will not hear the the D-4 Drought has
been cancelled. No across-the-board lifting of water restrictions.
Lakes and reservoirs will not fill and overflow. Rivers will not
overflow and flood the entire countryside. None of that… but…this
rain event was a God-send and by far the most significant rain event
in a long, long time. Rain totals for the event so far include 3.30"
at Russellville, 3.22" at Jackson, 3.02" at Black Creek (Etowah
County), 2.78" at Muscle Shoals, 2.60" at Vernon, 2.04" at Helena,
2.02" at Livingston, 1.99" at Greystone Cove (Shelby County) and
Crumly Chapel, 1.93" at Bessemer, 1.90" at Inverness, 1.82" at
Trussville, 1.36" at Jemison, and 1.10" at Columbiana. (Thanks to
J.B. Elliott for compiling these reports)

ROAMING: Rain totals around the nation yesterday included 4.01" at
Lexington, Kentucky, 2.34" at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and 2.01" at
Dayton, Ohio. As the Santa Ana winds roared yesterday, Los Angeles
soared to 92 degrees, while Fullerton and Santa Ana peaked at 99
degrees, the hottest temperature in the nation.

PRIME TIME: Join us for a prime time weather special on ABC 33/40
this Sunday evening called "Safe From The Storm". The show will air
Sunday from 6:00 until 7:00, and will feature some very interesting
Alabama weather stories!
