...Nice November Saturday...

Saturday dawned clear and chilly across Alabama this morning. With
quick clearing overnight, temperatures were able to drop quickly
across North and North Central sections of the state. Patchy fog
occurred because of the excellent radiational cooling conditions that
allowed residual moisture to condense, but it burned off quickly. It
has been a beautiful day with highs in the middle to upper 60s for the
most part withnear total sunshine.

TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY: Temperatures will be chilly tonight, with
lows averaging around 35. Cooler air will flow in overnight, and may
be accompanied by low clouds coming with the surge. Lows will average
around 36, and some frost may occur, although wind and clouds may work
against this. Sunday will be feature sunny skies, but temperatures
will struggle to get into the 60s, so it will be chilly. Another cold
night is expected Sunday night as high pressure settles in overhead.
Monday will be a nice day with a good supply of sunshine and highs
back in the 60s.

ACTIVE WEEK AHEAD: A strong upper level disturbance will swing out
onto the Plains from Arizona and New Mexico Sunday night This will
produce potentially severe weather tonight over parts of Texas and
Oklahoma Sunday night. The will spread eastward into the Pineywoods
of East Texas and into the Arklatex on Monday, as far eastward as
Shreveport and Lafayette, LA. The system should weaken as it moves
eastward on Tuesday. It will push showers into Alabama early on
Tuesday.

There could be a few embedded storms, but no severe weather is
expected. Alabama will remain in a west southwesterly flow that will
be punctuated by a series of disturbances. The second should pass on
Wednesday, bringing another round of showers and storms. The final
and biggest disturbance will approach on Thursday, sparking more rain
and storms. A surface low may form near the Gulf Coast and swing our
way Thursday night, bringing a chance of heavy rain and storms through
the nighttime and into Friday morning. Severe weather is possible
with this system. Rain will end on Friday, but Saturday looks
blustery with some light rain and cooler temperatures.

PALOMA POUNDS THE CAYMANS: Major Hurricane Paloma brushed past Grand
Cayman with little damage last night, but intensified into a Category
Four hurricane as it drew a bead on the sister islands of Little
Cayman and Cayman Brac. Winds of over 135 mph were reported, along
with a 4-8 foot surge in the sister islands. No injury reports yet,
but damage will be heavy. Roofs were ripped off homes and even from
shelters. Paloma will cross eastern Cuba tonight with winds of 140
mph and a surge as high as 23 feet. Damage will be severe.

GEOGRAPHY CLASS: The Cayman Islands are among the most beautiful
places on earth. Rising from the Cayman Trench in the Caribbean, the
islands are actually the tops of mountains from the Cuban Maestra
Range that extend above the water south of Cuba. Seventy percent of
the economy comes from tourism. Another large part comes from tax
haven banking. Grand Cayman is the largest island and where most of
the development is located. Two sister islands lie to the east
northeast of Grand Cayman. Little Cayman is about 84 miles from Grand
Cayman, and is the smallest at just ten square miles. Less than 170
people live there. Five miles to the east is Cayman Brac. Brac means
bluff, named for the large bluff on the eastern end of the island. It
is fourteen square miles and sparsely populated.

FIRST FORECAST: On this date in 1870, the U.S. Signal Corps issued
its first storm warning, a cautionary forecast for the Great Lakes.
The first bulletin read: "High wind all day yesterday at Cheyenne and
Omaha; a very high wind this morning at Omaha; barometer falling with
high winds today at Chicago and Milwaukee; barometer falling and
thermometer rising at Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo and
Rochester; high winds probable along the Lakes."
