FABULOUS FALL WEATHER: Doesn't get much better than this; a
brilliantly sunny sky today with low humidity, excellent visibility,
and a gentle north breeze. Our high today will be in the mid 70s,
about five degrees below average values for early October in Alabama.
And, temperatures will drop quickly once the sun goes down this
evening; we will wind up in the upper 40s early tomorrow.
THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND: Dry weather continues through the weekend and
into early next week with a slow warming trend. Looks like we will be
in the low to mid 80s over the weekend, with early morning lows in the
50s. A few scattered clouds could show up early next week, but at this
point it looks like dry weather will continue through much of the week.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: UAB will host Memphis tonight at Legion Field (7:00
kickoff on CBSC); it will be superb night for the game with clear sky
and temperatures in the 60s at kickoff, falling into the 50s by
halftime. Pretty much the same storm for high school football games
tonight and tomorrow night; the sky will be clear with temperatures
falling through the 60s, reaching the 50s by the second half. A light
jacket or sweater will be appropriate.
On Saturday, Alabama will host Kentucky at Bryant-Denny Stadium (2:30
kickoff on CBS); the sky will be sunny with a kickoff temperature of
83 degrees, falling into the 70s by the fourth quarter. Auburn will be
on the road; they play Vanderbilt in Nashville (5:00 kickoff on ESPN).
The sky will be clear, with temperatures falling from near 78 at
kickoff into the 60s by the fourth quarter.
TALLADEGA WEATHER: A great race weekend is ahead with sunny warm days
and clear cool nights. Highs around the Superspeedway will range from
81 to 84 on Saturday and Sunday, and there is no risk of rain.
HIGH FIRE DANGER: Due to the very dry conditions and low humidity, the
forest fire danger will remain very high across our state at least for
the next five days; be very careful if you are doing any outdoor
burning.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin is quiet, and tropical storm formation is
not expected through the weekend. Hurricane season will continue until
the last day of November.
ON THIS DATE IN 1963: Hurricane Flora moves across the south coast of
Haiti and then meanders across eastern Cuba for the next five days,
lashing the island with winds of 100 mph or more for 100 hours or
more. Rainfall amounts were astronomical, with as much as 90 inches
being reported near Velasco. More rain was reported at Guantanamo Bay
from Flora than was reported during the entire year of 1962. Flora is
the second deadliest hurricane ever in the Atlantic, with over 7000
deaths.
ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Hottest spot in the nation yesterday was
Death Valley, California with 109 degrees. Coldest place was Point
Lay, Alaska with 11 degrees. Shirley Basin, Wyoming dropped to 22
degrees. In Pennsylvania, Erie was soaked with 1.75 inches of rain.
