...Dry Weather To Continue ...

Greetings from San Diego, where is was a gorgeous Saturday of
sightseeing was capped by a night of baseball in Petco Park, watching
the Padres and the Pirates in the next to the last game of the regular
season. The Major League playoffs start this week, my favorite sports
time of the year.

TODAY AND THE WEEK AHEAD: Today will be a gorgeous day across Central
Alabama. Lots of sunshine, a light northerly winds and highs in the
middle 80s. Ditto for Monday. On Tuesday, a fairly strong cold front
will approach from the northwest. But it will be starved for
moisture. There will be a slight chance of a shower or storm on
Tuesday, but those chances will be slim. Behind the front, it will be
breezy on Wednesday as drier and cooler air overspreads the South.
There will be a hint of fall in the air with highs retreating back
into the 70s. Look for 50s Wednesday morning, but 40s may be common
Thursday morning. Cool!

BIG WEEKEND: NASCAR comes calling at Talladega next weekend. Alabama
entertains Kentucky and Auburn travels to Vandy next weekend in key
SEC matchups. Perfect weather is in store, with fair conditions under
high pressure and very comfortable temperatures. Highs will be in the
70s. Lows will be in the 50s.

TOPIC TROPICS: Hurricane Kyle is about 140 miles south southeast of
Nantucket this morning. Kyle is still a minimal hurricane. It is
moving north northeast at nearly 25 mph. It is moving over colder
water, but the quick forward speed will limit the weakening. In fact,
Kyle may remain a hurricane until just before landfall near the Bay of
Fundy between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia around midnight tonight.
Kyle will bring tropical storm force winds to Nantucket and the
Eastern Cape this afternoon. Then tonight, as the center approaches
land, tropical storm force winds will affect Downeast Maine east of
Portland. Strong tropical storm force winds could affect the extreme
eastern coast of Maine, but the highest winds should occur in New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. Environment Canada is warning
that extensive tree damage and power outages will occur. Storm surge
should not be a big problem. Rains of up to 3 inches will affect
eastern New England and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.

REST OF THE TROPICS: Some signs that a tropical depression could form
over the southern Gulf of Mexico in the next couple of days. It would
move northeast toward the Florida Peninsula. Strong wind shear should
limit development. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, two other disturbances,
but prospects for development are slim.

SUPERTYPHOON JANGMI: This storm is the strongest so far around the
globe in 2008. It had top winds of 155 mph yesterday, just 5 mph
below the threshold for Category Five status. Jangmi is making
landfall in Taiwan this morning. It will recurve and weaken as it
turns toward Japan.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: Hurricane Georges made its final landfall as a
category 2 hurricane with top winds of 105 mph near Biloxi MS. A ten
foot storm surge caused extensive destruction along the Mississippi,
Alabama and Northwest Florida coastline.
