...Nearly Perfect...

A lot of folks would pay good money to have this kind of weather. If
you live in Alabama, you don't have to. It's free! After another
refreshing start this morning, look for a fine fall day across Central
Alabama with lots of blue skies, a light easterly wind, low humidity
and temperatures in the lower 70s. The first half of the week will
feature similar conditions before our next chance of rain comes in
late Thursday.

THE WEEK AHEAD: High pressure is centered near Greenville, South
Carolina this morning. The circulation around this high will shift
our winds gradually around to the south today. Temperatures today
will edge above 70 again, with highs generally in the lower 70s.
Skies will be mostly sunny. Tonight will be generally a copy of the
last couple of nights, although temperatures will be a couple of
degrees warmer than last night. By late Tuesday, an upper level
trough will be sharpening over the Rockies. We should still have fine
weather with mostly sunny skies and fabulously mild temperatures in
the 40s Tuesday morning and highs in the middle 70s. It looks like it
will cut off into a bowling ball of an upper low over Kansas by
Wednesday.

A strong surface low will be over southern Nebraska by then. Over
Alabama, we will see an increasing southeasterly flow and that will
result in more in the way of clouds, especially in the morning, but it
won't be completely cloudy. By Thursday, clouds will be increasing
and we will be preparing for a batch of showers and storms that will
move in overnight. If enough Gulf moisture gets in here, the slow
moving system could produce a nice rain event, with most spots getting
about an inch. The rain should move out by Friday evening setting the
stage for a nice weekend.

DROUGHT UPDATE: Overall drought conditions eased a bit over Alabama
last week. Still, 90% of the state is at least abnormally dry.
Twelve percent of the state is officially considered to be in a
drought, down from 52.7 percent a week ago. Those counties are in
Northeast Alabama and down along the Georgia border.

TROPICS CHECK: Weak low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean
will move over the Yucatan over the next couple of days. It may
eventually emerge into the Gulf and become a tropical depression.
Chances are low.

ON THIS DATE IN 1976: The deadliest ferry accident in U.S. history
as the George Prince was struck by the tanker Frosta on the
Mississippi River between Destrehan and Luling in St. Charles Parish,
Louisiana just after 6 a.m. on a clear and frosty morning. The Frosta
caused the ferry to capsize, flipping cars, trucks and people into the
water. Seventy six people died including the Captain of the George
Prince, eighteen survived and one was never found. The captain of the
ferry was found to have a blood alcohol content very close to the
legal limit after the accident. The official investigation concluded
that neither crew took appropriate action to avoid the collision.
Reforms resulted from the disaster, including random alcohol and drug
testing for pilots and navigation rules were changed to give right of
way to ship moving up and down river instead of those crossing the
river. Even as the accident occurred, the massive Hale Boggs Bridge
was under construction barely a mile away.
