...Moisture Levels are Increasing...

HIGHER HUMIDITY AND WARMER NIGHTS: A broad tropical low pressure area
moving across the central part of the Gulf of Mexico today, well to
the south of Mobile, will bring increasing moisture levels into
Alabama today along with scattered clouds and the risk of isolated
showers for the eastern counties of the state. The best chance of a
shower will be from roughly Roanoke southward to Dothan, and even in
that part of the state the showers will be widely separated. This
will be another warm day with a high in the mid 80s.

The system in the Gulf will have some chance to become a tropical
depression during the next 24 hours, but at this point it looks like
the greatest chance of landfall is somewhere between Galveston, Texas
and Morgan City, Louisiana. One way or another, we do expect
increasing dewpoints and humidity levels through Friday, meaning
warmer nights and muggy days that will feel more like summer. In
terms of rain chances, we will mention the chance of widely scattered
showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and Friday, mainly during the
afternoon hours, but widespread rain doesn't look especially likely.
Highs will hold in the 80s through Friday.

RACE WEEKEND: For now it looks like a pretty good part of the weekend
will be dry, but we will mention the chance of isolated, mainly
afternoon showers on both Saturday and Sunday with a moist airmass
staying place. The summer-like weather will continue, with afternoon
highs well up into the 80s, and nights will be muggy with a morning
low in the low 70s, nothing like the cool, crisp mornings we enjoyed
back at the beginning of the week. For the races at the Talledaga
Superspeedway this weekend, we can't rule out the chance of a brief
passing shower on Saturday or Sunday, but for now we don't expect
rain to be a big problem for NASCAR fans.

NEXT WEEK: Peering out into the October 8-12 time frame, we should
begin the week with more warm and humid weather. The primary mid-
latitude jet stream will remain well to the north, but the tropics
will be active. A number of the computer models develop another
tropical system in the southern Gulf of Mexico early next week, and
move it to the west during the first half of the week. Too early to
determine now if the system will keep moving west, into Mexico, or
make a turn northward toward the Central Gulf coast. Environmental
conditions would seem to favor good development of this one, so stay
tuned.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Be sure and mark November 10 on your calendar and
keep the date open; that is the date for the 2007 Storm Alert XTREME
at the BJCC in downtown Birmingham. Once again this year, we will be
working in association with the Alabama International Auto Show.
Storm Alert XTREME is our annual severe storm training class; Brian
Peters our of staff (who happens to be one of the best SKYWARN
trainers in the nation) will teach both the beginning and the
advanced class, and there is no cost at all. Even if you have been
trained before, you need to be there. The schedule is posted on the
alabamawx.com blog!
