...Refreshing Start...

It is another glorious October morning across Central Alabama.
Temperatures quickly fell through the 50s into the 40s overnight. By
the time everything is accounted for, there will most certainly be
some 30s in the normally colder spots of North Alabama. After this
refreshing start, get ready for another fine fall day.

YOUR FORECAST: High pressure is centered over New England this
morning. A ridge extends from the strong high all the way down into
the Deep South. This high pressure is giving us our spectacular
autumn conditions. A new high center will form over Georgia and the
Carolinas over the next 24 hours, continuing the fair weather into
Monday. Temperatures will edge up into the middle 70s for daytime
highs, and morning lows will likely still be in the 40s both days.

By Wednesday, we will see the synoptic pattern changing as a
big storm system forms to our west. Wednesday should still be dry,
but we will see moisture levels begin to rise along with more clouds
as southeast winds kick in. Thursday will bring increasing clouds and
a chance of overnight showers and storms. Hopefully, they will hold
off for Thursday night high school games. This system should pick up
a fairy good supply of Gulf moisture, so hopefully it will bring a
decent shot of rain late Thursday night into Friday morning. The
front may stall over North Alabama, keeping showers in the forecast
through Friday and even into Saturday. The front should wash out
during the day on Saturday. Sunday shows promise for improving
weather. Weekend temperatures will be seasonable, with highs around
70 and lows near 50.

IN THE TROPICS: Tropical Storm Omar was declared dead by the NHC late
Saturday morning, well east of Bermuda. The remnants of Tropical
Depression Sixteen remain over land and are not expected to
regenerate. The western Caribbean will be the region to watch over
the next week as conditions will be favorable for a tropical cyclone
to form. There has not been any run to run consistency from the
global models as to how the situation might turn out. We will have to
wait and see.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Early record setting snows over Indiana
included 10.5 inches at Kokomo and 9.3 inches at Indianapolis. 8.8
inches fell at South Bend IN to establish a new record for any
October. Power was knocked out for most of the morning to half of
the population in Cincinnati, Ohio.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: Hurricane Wilma in the Caribbean was completing
an incredible rapid intensification that saw the monster hurricane
drop from 954 millibars to 901 millibars in a little over five hours.
This computed to an astounding 9.9 millibar/hour deepening. Wilma
shattered all Atlantic records for deepening, with 6, 12 and 24 hour
drops of 54, 88 and 97 millibars respectively for those time periods.
The former 12 hour deepening record was held by Hurricane Allen in
1980, which saw a drop of 48 millibars in 12 hours.
