...A Brief October Appearance...

I'm sorry. Could you tell me where October went? I must have slept
through it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about: the fine,
fair days and mild temperatures. Those mornings with low temperatures
in the 50s and just a hint of crispness in the air. The warm
afternoons, with golden sunshine and highs in the 70s. You remember
those, right?

SO FAR THIS OCTOBER: It has been anything but typical during the
first half of the month. It has rained on 12 of the first 16 days.
Measurable rain was observed on 11 of 12 days between the 4th and
15th, with seven straight days of measurable rain from the 9th through
the 15th.

CHILLY WEATHER: Cloudy and chilly across the area today, with
temperatures struggling to get out of the 40s in most areas. There
could be a few peeks of sunshine this afternoon. Clearing skies
tonight with lows in the 30s. A 3-6 mph wind should preclude
widespread frost, but it can't be ruled out. Bright and sunny
weather is expected tomorrow with highs in the 50s. Better chance of
frost Monday morning, when it could be fairly widespread. Things will
gradually start warming up as we head into a new work week.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Alabama hosts South Carolina for homecoming at the
Capstone; the sky will be mostly clear at kickoff (6:45 p.m.) with a
temperature close to 48 degrees; expect mid 40s by the final whistle.
Auburn hosts Kentucky (6:30 p.m. kickoff) with similar conditions; the
temperature will be around 50 degrees at kickoff, falling into the 40s
during the game. The sky will be generally clear. UAB will travel to
Oxford, Mississippi to play Ole Miss tomorrow night (6:00 p.m. kickoff)
… the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature of 51 degrees,
falling into the mid 40s by the fourth quarter.

TROPICS: All quiet in the tropical Atlantic. The GFS hints at some
potential development near the Bahamas by next weekend, that would
head on out to sea, and at the potential for something in the mid-
Atlantic by the end of the month. Nothing expected to affect any land
areas as our quiet season continues.

WEATHERBRAINS: It was a trip down memory lane for fans of radio in
Alabama, as Don Keith, one of the great announcers from the 70s at
WVOK , the Mighty 690 in Birmingham was our guest. We talked radio,
and especially radio weather. He even read a tornado warning from
April 3, 1974. Looking forward to Bill Read, the Director of the
National Hurricane Center being on Monday night live from t he
National Weather Association meeting inn Norfolk. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com
or subscribe on iTunes. It's free!

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Strong canyon winds blew twenty five cars of a
BNSF freight train off a trestle near East Glacier, Minnesota. The
Midvale trestle was the site of past derailments that have also been
blamed on strong winds. Wind gusts to 86 mph were reported in the
area. A wind gust to 106 mph was reported at Babb, Montana. Follow
