...Fall Back Tonight...

If you are like me, half of the clocks in your life have
the wrong time on them thanks to the shifted Daylight Savings Time
change. I think this has been bigger than the Y2K thingee. Well, at
least all those errant clocks will be back to correct time by early
Sunday morning. Just make sure any clocks that require human
intervention are moved back one hour when you go to bed tonight, or
you will be late Sunday morning.

DRY WEEKEND: Drier, relatively cool air is flowing into
Alabama today and will continue through tomorrow. This means clear
skies, cool overnight temperatures and a fairly high fire danger.
Conditions will not be ideal for wildfires, but you could say they
will be conducive. A few spots probably saw a little light frost this
morning. It could happen in the colder spots again tomorrow morning.
Moisture levels will start to come up Sunday night as our winds start
to turn around to the southwest ahead of the next trough.

MONDAY NIGHT FRONT: Those moisture levels will continue
to rise on Monday ahead of a strong cold front that will push a band
of showers through the state. Best rain chances will be late Monday
night. Rainfall amounts will be light, unfortunately. Tuesday will
feature strong northerly winds and very chilly conditions. Readings
may not get out of the 40s in places like Cullman. Then get ready for
the coldest air so far this season Wednesday and Thursday morning,
when frost will be widespread and several spots will reach freezing.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Tennessee Tech will be at Auburn for
a 1:30 p.m. kickoff today. Expect sunny skies and low humidity with
temperatures at kickoff in the middle 70s, falling back into the 60s
during the contest. The Bengal Tigers of LSU travel to Tuscaloosa for
a key SEC West matchup at 4 p.m. The weather should be ideal, with
temperatures falling out of the 70s through the 60s under clear
skies. Winds will be light. A 6 p.m. kickoff at Birmingham's Legion
Field as UAB entertains Southern Miss. Game temperatures will be
falling from the 60s into the 50s under a crystal clear sky.

NOEL: The National Hurricane Center wrote the last
advisory on Hurricane Noel last night as the storm made the
transformation from tropical to extratropical
cyclone. But that doesn't make this one any less dangerous. In fact,
there are some comparisons to 1991's Perfect Storm. The storm
formerly known as Noel raced past the Outer Banks overnight, passing
about 250 miles east of Cape Hatteras. It will deepen rapidly over
the next 24 hours, reaching the equivalent pressure of a Category
Three hurricane. It will pass about sixty miles offshore of Nantucket
and Cape Cod this evening.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Dense fog, slick roads and
speeding contributed to two chain reaction pileups on the southbound
710, or Long Beach Freeway in Los Angeles on a Sunday morning. Forty
one people were hurt, including nine seriously, as an unbelievable 198
cars were involved in the accidents that stretched over a mile. The
highway was closed for hours. California Highway Patrol officers
reported that it was the worst fog they had ever seen in the area,
with visibilities limited to one hundred feet. The fog was more
reminiscent of the terrible fogs of California's Central Valley area.
