...One More Mostly Gray Day...

Most areas are waking to another gray start across Central Alabama as
a persistent easterly flow continues across Alabama. It continues to
pump in Atlantic moisture at the low levels. Additionally, the upper
low that has outworn its welcome is rotating back to the west across
southern Alabama underneath the ridge of high pressure that extends
down into the Deep South. It will trigger a few showers over southern
sections of the state today. There is a slight chance that eastern
sections of Central Alabama may see a few of the showers also today,
perhaps as far west as I-65. A large high pressure cell is expected
to drop into Georgia starting later tonight, and this will effectively
cut off the easterly flow. Clouds should begin to break up late this
afternoon, allowing for some sun to return late in the day.
Temperatures this afternoon will top out around 80, with 70s in spots
with more persistent clouds.

THE WEEK AHEAD: By tomorrow, high pressure will be in control of
Alabama's weather. This will allow for plenty of sunshine and warm
conditions Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will go back
above normal, with highs in the middle 80s then. A weakening cold
front will be approaching Alabama from the northwest late on Thursday.
Clouds will increase late in the day, and a shower will be possible
overnight Thursday night into Friday morning. But the front will
dissipate as it slides into Central sections of the state without
making much of a fuss. By Saturday, high pressure will be building
into Alabama, bringing us fair weather and temperatures that are right
around normal. Highs will be in the 70s, and lows will be in the 50s.

THE TROPICS: The disturbance over the central Caribbean continues to
get better organized and a tropical depression could form later today.
It is expected to move in a general northward direction toward
Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. It could become a tropical storm before
reaching those areas. Tropical Storm Nana formed yesterday afternoon
over the Central Atlantic. It has a nice circulation, but it is in an
area that is extremely hostile from an upper wind standpoint and it
should get ripped apart by the shear. It may not survive the day.

PROJECT STORMFURY: The eleventh tropical storm of 1947 was named
"King" by the U.S. Weather Bureau. It passed over Cuba and
intensified rapidly before reaching the southwest Florida coast on the
October 11th with winds estimated as high as 150 mph. The storm has
the distinction of being the first hurricane ever to be seeded with
silver iodide in an attempt to weaken it. As the hurricane passed 350
miles offshore east of Jacksonville on the 13th, Project Cirrus dumped
the dry ice into the storm. The researchers did not get the result
they were looking for, as the storm stalled and then abruptly turned
toward shore, striking Savannah. Seeding hurricanes would not be
attempted again until the 1960s because of some scientists' beliefs
that the seeding had altered the course of the storm. The storm had
already begun the turn prior to the seeding as it steered around a
strengthening high pressure center along the East Coast.
