...Fine Fall Saturday...

A dry and mild weekend is in store for us in
Central Alabama thanks to a big trough that is setting up over the
eastern United States. A reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive
early Monday. Temperatures will moderate later in the week.

YOUR FORECAST: A little fog to greet the day on this
October Saturday morning. The lower atmosphere is saturated and with
clearing skies and light winds providing perfect radiation conditions,
shallow dense fog has formed. It will burn off early this morning.
Cold air aloft will allow for a nice field of stratocumulus today,
giving us partly cloudy skies. Afternoon highs will warm to near 70
degrees. Tonight will be a beautiful, crisp fall night with lows in
the lower 40s. Sunday looks like a great day, with near total
sunshine and highs in the lower to middle 70s. A reinforcing shot of
colder air will arrive early on Monday as a strong disturbance dives
through the trough, digging it deeper into the Southeast. Recent
model runs have shown this more as a glancing blow that earlier
depicted, and the airmass may not be as cold. There will be a chance
of frost Tuesday morning when lows will be in the 30s. Lows will still
be chilly Wednesday morning, mainly upper 30s. Temperatures will
moderate by the end of the week, with 70s common by Thursday and Friday.

TROPICS: The tropical Atlantic is quiet. The only place
that even could support tropical cyclone development over the next two
weeks is the western Caribbean. A broad band of high wind shear
surrounds the U.S. coastline which should protect everywhere but South
Florida from any threats over the next two weeks, and there is no sign
of that even.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Birmingham's game of the year is at
Legion Field this afternoon. It's the iconic Magic City Classic
between Alabama State and Alabama A&M. The game kicks off at 2:30
p.m. In addition, The Citadel is in Birmingham for the Samford
Homecoming game with a 2:00 p.m. kick off. For both games, it will be
sunny with about 68 at kick off and 58 by the final whistle. The Magic
City Classic will be shown on tape delay on ESPNU. In Knoxville,
Alabama will meet Tennessee for a 6:45 kick off in Knoxville. The
game is on ESPN. Fair dry weather with a light wind and in the 50s at
kick off and 40s by the end of the game.

ON THIS DATE IN 1910: The fifth tropical cyclone of the
1910 hurricane season was a strong one. It formed in the bowels of
the southwestern Caribbean, as many October storms do. It moved
northward, becoming a major hurricane as it crossed western Cuba on
the 13th of October. It then slowed and described a big loop north of
Cuba, growing into a category four monster over the southern Gulf of
Mexico. On the 16th, it turned northeast and headed toward a landfall
near Ft. Myers, Florida. Fortunately, it weakened to a category two
hurricane with top winds of 110 mph at landfall. Strong northeast
winds circulating around the hurricane pushed the water out of Tampa
Bay, leaving the lowest water levels ever observed in the bay, nine
feet below normal. A total of forty ships were grounded. Tampa is
regarded to be one of the most vulnerable coastal cities to a
hurricane, with very narrow escape routes and a potential for a very
high storm surge. The 1906 hurricane was south of Tampa. A direct
hit could be a big problem.
