...No Rain For Awhile...

DRY DAYS: We will end the month of October with dry weather across
Alabama; Birmingham's rain total for the month is 1.71", and that will
be the final total since it will be hard to find a decent cloud in the
sky for the rest of the week. Birmingham was actually one of the
driest spots; the October rain total for Tuscaloosa will be 2.35",
while Montgomery has measured 3.35" since October 1.

Our forecast for the rest of the week will feature mostly sunny mild
afternoons and clear cool nights. A fresh supply of dry, continental
air will move into the state on Thursday and Friday, which should keep
the dry spell intact all the way through the weekend. In fact, the
longer range computer models are suggesting the next potential
significant rain event for Alabama won't come until around November
10. Of course, that might change, but it does look like our rain
deficit for the year will only grow larger in coming days.
Birmingham's rain deficit for 2007 stands at 19.42", while Anniston is
a whopping 27.21" below normal since January 1.

EARLY FOR SNOW: One-half of 1% is all of the lower 48 that was covered
by snow yesterday. That was a decrease in coverage from recent days.
Very little additional snow fell over the weekend. Not much new snow
is expected at least through midweek. A total of 168 inches of snow
was on the ground at Mule Creek, Montana yesterday morning. That is
one of those high altitude automated snow-measuring stations at an
elevation of 8,317 feet.

BIRMINGHAM COLD FACTS: Our average date of the first freeze is
November 8; the earliest freeze came on October 18, 1948. So far,
Birmingham's coldest temperature this season came early Sunday
(October 28) when the mercury dropped to 45 degrees. There is a good
chance temperatures will be colder at daybreak this morning; we will
run down a list of lows on our afternoon edition later today.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Noel is about 300 miles south of Nassau (in
the Bahamas), and is packing sustained winds of 50 mph. The system
will bring lots of wind and rain to the Bahamas through mid-week, and
could sideswipe extreme Southeast Florida before recurving northeast,
out to the open water of the Atlantic. The system is expected to
remain below hurricane strength.

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, long time WCM (Warning Coordination
Meteorologist) for the National Weather Service in Birmingham, will
teach a basic and advanced course on spotting small scale features
within thunderstorms that are very important to meteorologists.
