...A Cool, Wet Halloween...

NOT MUCH RAIN TODAY: A complex storm system will impact Alabama during
the next 48 hours, but during the day today the most active weather
will remain west of Alabama, over Mississippi, Louisiana, and West
Tennessee. A shower could pop up in a few spots, but most communities
will be dry. The weather will be mild and breezy with a high in the
upper 70s, and the sun should break out at times.
Thunderstorms will enter West Alabama late this afternoon and early
tonight, and those could be strong. The storms will progress eastward
during the night, slowly weakening east of I-65 as they encounter more
stable air.

WET HALLOWEEN: Much cooler air invades Alabama tomorrow behind the
surface front, with a vigorous upper trough will keep the sky cloudy
with periods of rain through the morning. The rain will end from west
to east tomorrow afternoon, and there is a good chance most of the
rain will be over by the time the trick or treaters hit the street
tomorrow evening. It will be a very cool rain tomorrow with
temperatures hovering in the 56 to 60 degree range much of the day.

The sky will clear tomorrow night, and we are still forecasting a
beautiful Sunday, with a sunny sky and a high in the mid 60s. Dry
weather will continue well into next week with seasonally cool
temperatures.

NASCAR WEATHER: Rain is likely for tomorrow's truck race at the
Talladega Superspeedway with afternoon temperatures in the 57 to 60
degree range. Sunday looks perfect for the running of the Amp Energy
500 with a sunny sky and a high in the mid 60s.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: I would recommend rain gear for tonight's high
school games, although stadiums over the eastern half of the state
could be generally dry. Thunderstorms are possible for the games over
West Alabama. Temperatures will be mostly in the 60s at all venues.
For tomorrow's Auburn game against Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium,
the weather will be cool and wet with periods of rain and temperatures
in the 58 to 61 degree range. UAB will be way far away in El Paso
playing UTEP at 2:00 p.m. It will be sunny with mid 60s most of the
game. Now, the Magic City Classic—a very special occasion that is more
than just a football game. It is tomorrow and it includes a parade and
lots of other outdoor activities. Numerous people are already in town
and are busy meeting friends and tailgating. The kick off is at 2:30
p.m. at Legion Field. You will need a light jacket and some rain gear.
There is a good chance of some rain and the temperature will not get
any higher than about 60 with a brisk northwest wind.

OCTOBER STORMS: Severe storms were widespread across the Ark-La-Tex
last night; The steeple at the First Methodist Church in downtown
Shreveport was toppled by high winds… the steeple fell on top of a car
that was passing the church. At least 30 homes in one Bossier Parish
neighborhood suffered damage after being hit with high winds.
