...Nice Weekend In Store...

Others have referred to the upper level low that has been with us much
of this week as "pesky." In any other weather regime, I think that
"pesky" would be apropos. But I think that it has been a blessing,
signifying a change to fall that hope fully will stay with us. Still,
I have not heard too many complaints about the dreary weather we have
been experiencing the past few days.

7 DAYS OF SUNSHINE: The low did bring some rain to the area, and
although rainfall amounts were not uniformly generous, they were still
appreciated. We still have a tremendous way to go to make a dent in
the rainfall deficits for most areas, and no help will be in sight.
The consolation prize will be some beautiful, seasonable weather for
Alabama in October. Today will be fabulous with brilliant sunshine
and the mercury rising from the 40s to near 70. Tomorrow promises
another crystal clear day. High pressure remains in control of our
weather through the week ahead. Our next major weather maker comes
around Sunday, November 4th when what looks to be a potentially potent
weather system brings a chance of severe weather our way.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Magic City Classic at Legion Field in
Birmingham tomorrow afternoon, it should be sunshine, low humidity
with about 70 at kick off lowering to about 62 at the end of the game.
Ole Miss will be at Auburn for a late afternoon kick off. Clear, about
68 at kick off and about 57 at the end of the game. UAB is on the
road; the Blazers take on East Carolina tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in
Greenville, NC… the sky will be cloudy during the game and there is a
good chance of showers or thunderstorms. The kickoff temperature will
be near 73 degrees.

CALIFORNIA FIRES: The California fires took on a personal note for
me this week as one of my friends and clients, Mr. Mark Gregson, found
his beautiful home in Escondido threatened by the wildfires. He was
in Dallas for the Holiday Inn convention when the frantic call came
from his wife that she had been ordered to get her things and get out
immediately in advance of the onrushing flames. He boarded a plane at
DFW for what he said would turn out to be the longest flight of his
life. He said that the view of the smoke and fires as they circled to
land was so terrible, but he did catch a glimpse of his home from the
plane and was relieved.
Fortunately, the winds died down by Thursday and the threat lessened.
The Southern California wildfires are unfortunately nearly an annual
occurrence, driven by high pressure that sets up seasonally over Utah,
producing the hot, dry Santa Ana winds.

TROPICS: A low pressure system is in the Caribbean southwest of the
Dominican Republic this morning. This low does have the potential to
eventually develop into a tropical depression as it moves slowly
westward over the next five days over the Caribbean. The best chances
for it to develop will likely be over the western Caribbean south of
Cuba as it lingers for several days before being pulled northeast
across Cuba and South Florida sort of like Hurricane Mitch of 1998.
Check today's alabamawx.com entry for more on infamous Mitch.

ON THIS DATE IN 1972: A man and his wife were awakened from a sound
sleep by rain beating down on them. A tornado had just removed the
roof from their house near Crestview, Florida. They were uninjured.
