...Dry Week Ahead...

It is another absolutely beautiful day across Alabama on this Sunday
with brilliant blue skies, lots of sunshine, low humidity and
seasonably mild temperatures. After morning lows in the 40s, the
mercury is recovering nicely to near 70 degrees.

TONIGHT: Expect excellent sleeping conditions tonight, perfect for
throwing the windows wide open and grabbing an extra blanket. Lows
will be similar to this morning once again. Skies will be clear.

THE WEEK AHEAD: High pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will keep
Alabama in an easterly flow through much of the week ahead. Drier air
Monday night may allow for light frost in the normally colder valleys
of North Alabama by Tuesday morning. A powerful storm system will
move through the Great Lakes at midweek. The circulation around this
storm will send a dry cold front our way by Thursday. It will serve
up a reinforcing helping of seasonably cool and dry air just in time
for the weekend.

FIRE DANGER: Conditions will become conducive for fire spread as low
humidities and brisk easterly winds conspire to cause problems on
Monday. The borderline factors will be temperatures and a diminishing
wind. The recent rains have helped a little also.

LONG RANGE: It looks like we might be moving into an active pattern
as we exit October and head into November. The GFS had been
predicting a very deep trough over the eastern United States after
next weekend. Overnight runs backed away from this idea. It does
appear that there will be a decent rainfall threat around the 6th and
7th.

TROPICS: Tropical Depression number 16 formed last night in the
Caribbean south of Hispaniola. It has strengthened steadily this
morning and the large circulation has been upgraded to Tropical Storm
Noel, the fourteenth named storm of what has been a busy, but
relatively uneventful Atlantic hurricane season. The storm is
expected to move northwestward, crossing Haiti then the coast of
southeastern Cuba by Tuesday. It then turns north and northeastward,
passing through the Bahamas. Noel may still become a hurricane.
There is a great deal of uncertainty with this system, both in terms
of track and intensity. One of the more reliable track models does
carry it as far west as the western tip of Cuba. It could get
interesting then, especially for South Florida and the Keys.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: Hurricane Wilma moved onto the northeastern
Yucatan Peninsula at an agonizingly slow pace, battering the resorts
of Cancun and Playa del Carmen with 145 mph winds and a storm surge of
up to 11 feet. Cozumel and Cancun had winds of sustained hurricane
force for twenty four hours and 62 inches of rain fell..

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A newlywed bride was swept to her death as she
and her fiancée took photographs of tremendous waves from a ferocious
Pacific storm at Pacific Grove, CA. The storm generated waves up to
27 feet high. The powerful storm swirled offshore for a day before
moving inland, pounding Washington, Oregon and California with the
tremendous waves
