...Nice Looking Sunday...

Get ready for a nice fall Sunday across Central Alabama. After a
frosty start across much of the area, plenty of sunshine will lead to
temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s this afternoon. Look for
40s tonight under fair skies.

START TO THE WORK WEEK: Monday will be a nice day again, with partly
cloudy skies and a high in the 70s. A developing storm system to the
west of Alabama will present a chance of showers and a slight chance
of a storm on Tuesday. The models have been flip-flopping back and
forth on the intensity of this system, so we will have to see. Expect
a tenth to one quarter inch of rain. Wednesday should be partly
cloudy and mild with increasing clouds late in the say ahead of a
stronger storm system. Rain could actually arrive late Wednesday
night across the area, but the timing is still up in the air.

STRONG STORMS AT WEEK'S END: The more powerful upper system will
swing into the Central Plains by Thursday. It may become negatively
tilted by Thursday night, putting Alabama in a favorable position for
strong to severe storms. Still a lot of uncertainly about this
forecast, but it is something that will have to be watched. The rain
should depart early Friday morning.

NEXT WEEKEND: Looks like good weather for high school football Friday
night, a beautiful Saturday for events at Talladega and perfect Trick
or Treating weather Saturday night. Te models have gotten more
aggressive with moisture return for Sunday,
introducing the idea of showers for the big race, but I wouldn't worry
just yet.

TROPICS: The disturbance over the Bahamas is being absorbed by the
frontal system east of Florida. The disturbance over the western
Caribbean has petered out. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, there is
nothing of consequence to talk about.

UPCOMING WEATHERBRAINS GUESTS: This week, it's an A.M. Weather
Reunion, featuring meteorologists from the PBS show from the 70s and
80s. Next week, it will be legendary severe weather researcher Dr.
Chuck Doswell, followed by Storm Chaser and Wind Engineer
extraordinaire Tim Marshall. Mike Smith, the President of Weather
Data, Inc. will visit on November 16th. Follow WeatherBrains on
Twitter @weatherbrains.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: The Old Fire was started by arsonists in San
Bernandino County, California. It would burn 91,200 acres before
being contained in early November as fire fighters received an assist
from precipitation. The Old Fire destroyed 850 homes and 10
commercial buildings. It forced the evacuation of the entire San
Bernadino Mountain Range. The mass exodus of 80,000 created a twenty
eight mile traffic jam. Several foothills communities had to be
evacuated also. On this first day of the fire, four hundred homes
burned. The final toll from this single fire was nearly $700
million. High temperatures over 90F, low humidities and gusty winds
made for a terrible fire month in Southern California. The resulting
fires killed twenty people, injured another 157 and caused 1.86
billion in damage.
