...Brighter and Warmer...

WARMER DAYS AHEAD: The flow of moist air from the east will subside
across Alabama today, and with high pressure aloft taking over, the
downward motion in the atmosphere will bring a sunny sky statewide.
Afternoon temperatures will be 5 to 8 degrees above average; most
spots will climb into the low 80s. Some West Alabama communities will
reach the mid 80s.
The dry and warm weather continues through Thursday. Then, a front
will bring the risk of a few scattered showers by Thursday night and
Friday. At this point, it doesn't look like a major rain event due to
limited moisture. Rain totals should be a quarter-inch or less, and
the showers should be over by the time the high school football games
begin Friday night.

OUR WEEKEND: At this point it looks like we can promise some fabulous
fall weather for Saturday and Sunday; lots of sunshine both days with
cooler temperatures. Highs will be in the 70 to 75 degree range, with
early morning lows well down in the 50s. We might reach the upper 40s
at daybreak Sunday. There is no chance of rain.

LONG RANGE THOUGHTS: At this point it looks like a rain event will be
possible around the middle of next week, and many of the longer range
computer models suggest a long wave upper
trough forming over the eastern U.S. before the month is over. If this
happens, some pretty chilly air could flood Alabama that would bring
frost to the Halloween pumpkins.

TROPICS HEATING UP: Lets not forget that the hurricane season runs
through the end of November. Tropical depression Nana is dissipating
this morning in the Central Atlantic, and is no threat to land. In the
eastern Caribbean, tropical depression 15 is expected to become
Tropical Storm Omar today; it will move northeast, in the general
direction of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. This one should
become a hurricane over the open Atlantic northeast of Puerto Rico,
and is no threat to the U.S. mainland.
And, yet another disturbance over the western Caribbean could become a
tropical depression today; this one is just east of Central America,
and should initially move northward. Too early to determine if this
will be a threat to the Gulf of Mexico; there is a chance it will turn
left into Central America or Mexico.

BIG TIME OCTOBER SNOW: This past weekend's snowstorm will rank as the
greatest to ever hit Lander, Wyoming during the month of October and
the 7th largest snowstorm of all time. Remember, Winter does not
arrive until December. Lander received 30 inches from this storm. The
greatest amount we could find was 49 inches near Limestone, Montana in
Sweetgrass County.

EXTREMES: Hot spots in the nation yesterday were Alice and Laredo,
Texas with 93 degrees. Coldest place was McGrath, Alaska with 5
degrees below zero.
