...Fine Fall Weather...

COOLEST AIR SO FAR THIS SEASON: Fall weather fans will love our
forecast through mid-week as the coolest air so far this autumn
settles into Alabama today. Look for a cobalt blue sky, a fresh north
breeze, and very low humidity levels today with a high in the low to
mid 70s. Then, tonight, temperatures will drop steadily, and by
daybreak tomorrow most communities will be in the 45 to 49 degree
range, with potential for low 40s across the cooler valleys of North
Alabama. I would not be shocked to near of a low of 39 at some place
like Valley Head in DeKalb County, or Broomtown in Cherokee County.
The refreshing pattern stays in place through Thursday with the
pattern of comfortable days and chilly nights.

OUR NEXT RAIN: Clouds will increase across our state on Friday ahead
of an approaching cold front, and we will bring in a chance of showers
and storms by the afternoon hours. This same system has the potential
to produce severe thunderstorms on Thursday to the west of Alabama, in
the general area from Jackson, MS to Omaha, NE, so we will be on the
lookout for strong storms Friday afternoon. For now we expect the best
chance of rain from roughly 12:00 noon to 12:00 midnight Friday, with
potential for average rain amounts of 1/2 inch, with potential for 1
inch in isolated spots.

WEEKEND PEEK: The rain should move out of Alabama by daybreak
Saturday, and at this point we figure Saturday and Sunday will be dry
with a partly sunny both days and a high around 80 degrees.
Considering the fact that we have had measurable rain on four of the
past five Saturdays, a dry weekend sounds pretty appealing to most
Alabamians.

OUR RAIN SITUATION: Birmingham's rain total for the year is now
52.35"; not far from the average amount we see in an entire year
(53.99"). September, 2009, is going in the record books as the third
wettest September since 1900 – bronze! Our total for the month is
10.69". But we also got a Gold since this September is the wettest
without a classic tropical system to produce the rain (although most
of the rain was caused by a broad tropical low that never received a
name). Our wettest September on record came in 1906 with 13.19". The
second wettest September was in 2004 with 10.96", thanks to Hurricane
Ivan.

Another interesting note is that September, 2009, also goes in the
records for consecutive days with rain. We've had 8 back-to-back days
with rain which ties many other years for 6th place.

WEATHER CALL: Weather call is our new system that provides you and
your family a great way of receiving severe weather watches and
warnings. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you
will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist James Spann, 24
hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed
map of the threat area. You may also use any of the email addresses to
set up the warning to be delivered by SMS text messaging to your cell
phone. Sign up on the web at abc3340.com.
