...Fall-like Weather Ahead...

Sunday afternoon was perfect for yard work across Central Alabama.
After seemingly days of rain, skies cleared and humidity levels
dropped. It was seasonably warm with highs around 80 degrees. Even
more perfect weather will be setting up for the remainder of the week
as a reinforcing cold front brings even drier air in to Alabama later
today.

WORTH THE WAIT: If you liked Sunday, you will love today, and I
think you will love tomorrow even more. Looking northwest, that
southeastward moving front has already reached Northwest Alabama and
it will sweep through the state during the day. It will be
accompanied by a few clouds, and we can't rule out an isolated shower,
although chances are very small. Highs today will top out around 80
degrees again. Skies will clear tonight and dewpoints will drop like
a rock, falling into the 40s overnight. The average low by morning
will be 49F, quite nice even by September standards. Readings on
Tuesday will top out in the 70s, ditto for Wednesday. We could even
be a degree or two cooler Wednesday morning. Both days will feature a
nice northwesterly breeze.

BEYOND MIDWEEK: By Thursday, our winds will shift around to the
southeast, allowing moisture to return, although no rain is expected.
By Friday, another strong trough will cut off into a big upper low to
the northwest of Alabama and an area of showers and storms could move
into Alabama Friday night. But it should be gone by Saturday, with
seasonably nice conditions returning.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Rain will briefly changeover to snow tonight and
Tuesday over southeastern Oregon and northeastern California. By
Tuesday, snow will become likely over the higher elevations of
southwestern Montana, eastern Idaho and northeastern Wyoming. They
could see some four inch amounts in Yellowstone National Park and the
Sawtooth Range.

TROPICS: The remnants of tropical depression 8 continue moving west
northwest over the open Atlantic. The GFS predicts that we will see
the development of a tropical storm by next weekend in the eastern
Atlantic. It also predicts that the system will curve to the
northwest and north through a weakness in the subtropical high.

WIN A BOOK: Follow our tweets about the WeatherBrains podcast. We
are @weatherbrains at Twitter.com. You'll get daily notes about the
show, including future guests, inside information and show
highlights. You will also be eligible for giveaways from time to
time. This week, we will give away a copy of last week's guest
Robert Henson: The Rough Guide to Climate Change. The winner will be
selected Monday night.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Tropical Storm Isidore's remnants brought
heavy rains to southwestern Kentucky, ending a severe drought there
that had lasted through the summer. The period June through August
was the second driest on record at Paducah. Four to six inches of
rain caused flooding in Dayton, Ohio, where manholes covers were blown
off due to intense pressure buildup from the floodwaters. Follow my
weather history tweets @wxhistorian.
