...The Long Dry Spell Continues...

GETTING DRY AROUND HERE: The last really significant rain around here
was back on September 14, when 0.29" was measured at the Birmingham
Airport. Our total for the month is only 0.40", and the chance of rain
will not be in the forecast for the foreseeable future. The weekend
will feature more fine fall weather, with sunny pleasant days and
clear cool nights. Our weather will be on the breezy side today thanks
to a strong low pressure center near Wilmington, NC., but the rain
associated with this big coastal storm will stay well to the east of
Alabama. The system will produce gale force winds along the middle
Atlantic coast through tonight.

NEXT WEEK: An upper trough will carve out over the eastern third of
the nation by mid-week, and should deliver the coolest air so far this
season by Thursday and Friday, with highs dropping into the 70s and
lows in the mid to upper 40s. At this time we don't expect any rain
with the cold front that is due in here late Tuesday night or early
Wednesday.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight, nearly perfect
weather with a clear sky and temperatures falling from the mid 70s
into the 60s during the games.
Auburn hosts Tennessee tomorrow at 2:30 (CBS) at Jordan Hare Stadium;
the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature around 79, falling
into the mid 70s by fourth quarter. Alabama is on the road; they will
play Georgia in Athens Saturday evening at 6:45 (ESPN). The sky will
be mostly cloudy; the chance of a shower is only about one in five
during the game. Temperatures will fall from 77 at kickoff into the
upper 60s by the end of the game. UAB will be on the road to play
South Carolina at Columbia's Williams-Brice Stadium Saturday evening
at 6:00 (ESPN 360); just a slight risk of a shower with a kickoff
temperature around 78, falling into the 60s by the fourth quarter.
And, Jacksonville State travels to Charleston, Illinois to play
Eastern Illinois at 1:30 p.m. CDT tomorrow; the sky will be sunny with
a kickoff temperature near 83 degrees.

KEEPING AN EYE ON KYLE: Tropical Storm Kyle is in the Atlantic Ocean,
east of the Bahamas, and is moving to the north. The NHC expects Kyle
to become a category one hurricane within the next 24 hours; the
current forecast track takes the system just east of Cape Cod over
weekend, and then northeast toward the Canadian Maritimes. Kyle will
not impact Alabama or the Gulf of Mexico.

HIGH FIRE DANGER: Just a reminder that the forest fire danger in
Alabama will remain high through the weekend; be very careful if you
are planning any outdoor burning. We don't expect any significant rain
around here for at least the next 7 to 10 days.

GETTING COLDER: Coldest spot in the nation yesterday was Beaver,
Alaska with 9 degrees. Down here in the lower 48, Stanley, Idaho
dropped to 25 degrees.
