...Feels Like Fall...

It is a gorgeous Saturday afternoon across Alabama. Skies are mostly
sunny and temperatures are edging up toward 70 degrees. Lows this
morning across Central Alabama included 44F at Tuscaloosa and 45F at
Birmingham and Anniston. Pinson checked in with 42F. Across the
northern part of the state, 43F was a common reading, being measured
at Muscle Shoals, Fort Payne, Decatur and Crossville. Meridianville
bottomed out at 41F for the coolest official reading across the
state. Vic Bell up in Scrougeout reported 40F this morning, while
Will Wallace in Cottondale reported 39F for one of the chilliest
readings.

YOUR FORECAST: Surface high pressure will remain in control of our
weather through at least Tuesday. An upper level trough will continue
to spill cooler and drier air into Alabama from the northwest.
Temperatures will moderate back toward seasonal norms as we go through
time. Expect lower 40s on average tonight, with a few colder spots in
the 30s. Can't rule out a light frost in protected locations
overnight. Sunday looks like a carbon copy of today, with blue skies
and temperatures just a degree or two warmer. Monday and Tuesday will
see highs in the middle 70s, along with lows in the 50s, right around
average for this time of year. By Wednesday, a large storm system is
expected to be taking shape over the nation's midsection. This could
bring showers to western sections by Wednesday and a good chance of
rain Thursday into Friday over much of the state.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: Rather benign conditions across the country on
this Saturday afternoon. Rain is occurring across Florida in
association with the front we dealt with yesterday. A coastal low is
developing off the coast of the Carolinas. Rain and snow is across
the Northwest ahead of a storm system. Frost and freeze warnings are
in effect for the mountains of western North Carolina for tonight.
New England also has frost and freeze warnings in place tonight.

IN THE TROPICS: Things are quiet for now in the tropical Atlantic.
The remnants of TD16 are producing heavy rains over Central America.
In the short run, redevelopment is not expected, but don't rule out
something later this week. The system could move back northward,
perhaps into the Gulf and move toward Florida. There are two other
disorganized disturbances, one over the Central Caribbean and another
southwest of the Cape Verde Islands in the eastern Atlantic.

ON THIS DATE IN 1991: Wilma became the twelfth hurricane of the 2005
North Atlantic season, tying the all-time record for hurricanes in a
single season, set in 1969. Wilma was the 21st named storm of the
season, which also tied the high water mark for most tropical storms
in a single season, set in 1933 when storms were not named. 2005 was
a record breaking season for hurricanes in nearly every category. Of
course, the record breaking did not end with Wilma. The 27 named
storms in the year shattered the former all time record for the
Atlantic. There were fifteen hurricanes (also a record) and seven of
those went on to become major hurricanes. Five hurricanes reached
category four status and a record four reached category five status.
Of course, Katrina was the costliest hurricane ever and Wilma went on
to become the strongest ever observed in the Atlantic.
