...Flirting With Records..

You can't complain about the beautiful summerlike weather across
Central Alabama on this October Sunday afternoon. With partly cloudy
skies and warm temperatures, it feels more like late August than
October. But we need rain here in Alabama, and unfortunately, the
prospects do not look good in the near future.

FLIRTING WITH RECORD HIGHS: Highs this afternoon are edging up to
near 90 degrees across the area. The record high of 93F at
Birmingham is not in danger, but we will we on record watch tomorrow
and quite likely on Tuesday with records of 91F each day. Highs
tomorrow and Tuesday should be right around 90F again.

NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM: It is a case of the irresistible force meeting
the immovable object. A sprawling, strong upper level high is
centered over the Southeast. Meanwhile, a powerful upper level
system is over the Rocky Mountain states today with a deep upper
trough and upper low moving eastward. This system will swing
northeast, forcing the ridge to retreat westward over the week ahead.

The bowling ball of an upper low will ride up and over the ridge and
head toward the Mid-Atlantic States after midweek, carving out a
trough over the East. This will lead to some cooler temperatures for
the end of the week and weekend. The transition will be marked by a
cool front that will move through the area on Tuesday. While shower
and storm chances will increase on Tuesday, they will not be likely,
and the backside of the upper low will keep the Gulf at bay through
the remainder of the week and weekend.

TROPICS: Our headline disturbance is an elongated low pressure
system over the northwestern Caribbean. This is the time of year for
systems to form in the western Caribbean for sure. Pressures have
been dropping in the region and are quite low now, a good sign
something is cooking. Wind shear is light and sea surface
temperatures are warm, so look for a tropical depression to form here
in the next couple of days. The hurricane hunters are scheduled to
investigate on Monday. Three distinct scenarios possible here. It
hangs around over the western Caribbean ala Mitch and becomes a
significant hurricane. 2. It moves northwestward into the Yucatan,
possibly as a depression or tropical storm. 3. It could get picked
up by our trough swinging east, ushering it northeast toward Cuba,
South Florida and the Bahamas. We will have to wait and see. The
other two active areas of interest in the Atlantic are disorganized
and do not show signs of development. One is north of Puerto Rico
and one is about 500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: No one was complaining about the unusually
warm temperatures in the 80s in North Dakota, except the beet
growers. Harvesting had to be stopped because temperatures were too
warm and could cause the beets to spoils after they were pulled from
the ground.
