...Back To Work...

Rainy days and Monday always get me down, says the Carpenters song
from the 70s. But rainy days don't upset us here in Alabama and we
will appreciate every precious drop this year. Rain and storms will
continue moving eastward through the morning hours this morning,
ending from the west by afternoon.

RAIN HEADS EAST: Low pressure is moving into western Kentucky this
morning. A cold front is entering western sections of the state.
Ahead of the front, rain and thunderstorms have been moving eastward
across Alabama this morning. The precipitation will end from west to
east, but skies will remain mostly cloudy into tonight.

A FEW SPRINKLES THROUGH THIS EVENING: There could be a few sprinkles
across the area through this evening until the drier air starts moving
into the state on northwesterly winds. Lows tonight will dip back
into the upper 30s to near 40 degrees.

NICE MIDWEEK: Clouds may hang tough until early Tuesday morning, but
skies should clear fairly quickly tomorrow. With cool air still
flowing into the areas, temperatures should top out in the 50s. With
clear skies Tuesday night, readings will be a few degrees cooler than
tonight, in the middle and upper 30s. A few normally colder locations
might experience a light freeze. Wednesday is looking like a nice
day, with warmer temperatures in the upper 60s.

THURSDAY SYSTEM: The weather system that we have been anticipating
for Thursday looks like it will we weaker and further north than
earlier thought. We will experience a temporary increase in
cloudiness and a windshift back to the northwest during the day, but
the front should be dry.

INTO THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND: Friday looks like another nice day with
mild temperatures for late November. The warmup will continue into
the weekend, when we will see highs in the upper 60s by Saturday as a
strong southerly flow develops ahead of the next storm system. A few
showers may break out on Saturday. By that time, a cold front will be
approaching from the northwest. But it will be bumping up against
stubborn high pressure, which will slow the front down. Sunday looks
like a wet, stormy day, which may be just what the doctor ordered for
us in terms of rainfall.

ON THIS DATE IN 1703: 400 windmills were destroyed by the greatest
gale in the history of England on this date. Many of the huge
structures burned down from fires which started as their blades turned
wildly in the 80 mph winds. In London, roofs blew off and chimneys
were toppled. The famed Eddystone Lighthouse was toppled by heavy
seas. 123 people died on land, and another 8000 died at sea as
hundreds of vessels from the British fleet were lost, including four
Men-Of-War. It was all caused by an extremely intense 950 millibar
low pressure system that passed north of London.
