...Beneficial Rains In Our Future...

Indications are that we will have several bouts of rainfall during the
week ahead, thanks to a southwesterly flow aloft and several
disturbances.

FOR YOUR MONDAY: High pressure centered just to our north is in
control of Alabama's weather this morning. But things will be
changing over the next 24 hours.

ROUND ONE: A developing low over New Mexico will move into Oklahoma
by tomorrow. A frontal system will approach Alabama from the west,
spreading showers into western sections of the state during the day.
The front will stall across the state.

ROUND TWO: The surface low will intensify as it moves into Central
Louisiana by Wednesday morning. An overrunning situation will
develop, brining a good chance of rain and some elevated thunderstorms
to Alabama.

ROUND THREE: We get a bit of a break on Thursday before the next
system rolls in Thursday night. Showers and storms will develop again
as the most powerful of the disturbances swings through the South.
The rain and storms will be with us into Friday.

RAINFALL TOTALS: The rainfall forecast from the NWS calls for 1.5 to
2 inches of rainfall across Central Alabama by Friday night, with an
emphasis on the western
side of the state. Much heavier amounts, on the order of five inches
or more, are predicted to fall to the southwest of Alabama.

THE WEEKEND: Rain should end by Friday evening, with blustery and
cooler conditions on Saturday. There could be a little light rain or
even a flurry over the Tennessee Valley Saturday night late, with much
colder weather for Sunday and Sunday night.

GOODBYE PALOMA: The National Hurricane Center issued the final
advisory on Hurricane Paloma last night as it dissipated over eastern
Cuba. Over 1 million people were evacuated in advance of the
hurricane. Paloma had weakened to a strong category three just before
landfall Saturday afternoon. Storm surge of up to 18 feet was likely
near where the center made landfall.

DROUGHT UPDATE: The bad news is that we didn't experience much in
the way of rainfall this week in Central Alabama. At the Birmingham
Airport, the weekly total was just 0.03 inches. The meager surplus we
currently have at BHM will be gone by tomorrow. Hopefully we will
restore it later in the week. Even though we didn't experience much
rain this week, the drought situation across Alabama did not worsen
this week. Ten percent of the state (the Northeast corner) is in a
drought condition. But, nearly 73 percent is abnormally dry.

ON THIS DATE IN 1975: "The lake it is said never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy" These words were part of a
song entitled "The Wreck of
The Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot that immortalized the
sinking of this ship in a horrible storm on this date in 1975. Twenty
nine crewmen lost their lives on when the big ship went down in the
icy waters of Lake Superior during an intense November storm.
