...Comfortable Weather Continues...

CALM DAYS: Looks like an extended period of quiet weather for Alabama.
At this time we see no major chance of rain through the middle part of
next week, although the ole wedge will bring some clouds to East
Alabama at times. The wedge was in play yesterday; cold air drained
down the eastern slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, and moved into
the eastern counties of the state with low clouds and cool
temperatures. At one point yesterday, our SKYCAM atop Mount Cheaha
(south of Anniston) was showing 65 degrees with clouds all around
(they were literally in the clouds), while Tuscaloosa was at 80 with a
mostly sunny sky.

We expect highs mostly in the 80 to 83 degree range through early next
week, with early morning lows down in the low 60s. The main chance of
rain across the Southeast U.S. in coming days will be along the
Atlantic coast, from Charleston down through Savannah, Brunswick, and
Jacksonville. The Florida peninsula will also have occasional showers.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: For fans traveling to Fayetteville, Arkansas for
Saturday's Alabama/Arkansas game (11:30 a.m. kickoff), the sky will be
mostly cloudy, and there is a one in three
chance of a shower or storm during the game. The kickoff temperature
will be close to 75, rising into the upper 70s during the game. Auburn
will host LSU Saturday evening at 6:45; the sky will be mostly fair
with a kickoff temperature of 77, dropping to near 70 by the end of
the game. And, for the high school games across Alabama tonight and
tomorrow night, the sky will be mostly fair with temperatures in the
low to mid 70s.

TROPICS: We can be thankful for a very quiet Atlantic basin now, as
folks from Texas to Ohio are still recovering from Hurricane Ike, and
our friends in Louisiana, in some cases, are just getting power
restored after Hurricane Gustav. But, don't forget the hurricane
season runs through the end of November, and we figure there will be
one more burst of activity, most likely toward the end of this month
and the first two weeks of October. Big hurricanes are relatively rare
this far north in November due to cooler ocean water temperatures.

HODGEPODGE: Hottest place in the nation yesterday was Death Valley, CA
with 110 degrees. Coldest spots were Arctic Village, Alaska and
Wisdom, Montana with 23 degrees. The high yesterday afternoon in
Barrow, Alaska was only 38 degrees as their long, dark, and cold
Arctic winter approaches.

ON THIS DATE IN 1752: The hurricane of 1752 was one of the most
devastating in Charleston's history. Although the number of lives lost
cannot be determined, a contemporary Boston press
report, based on a ship's officer's account, estimated that ninety-
five people were drowned. The maelstrom, which also struck surrounding
areas, had many long-term effects. The destruction of trees was
severe, one plantation owner's loss was assessed at $50,000.
