...Happy Halloween...

A busy weekend with big football games today, races at Talladega all
weekend, and lots of ghosts and goblins running around tonight.
Weather has been a concern, but things will be improving by this
afternon. Away we go…

FRIDAY SEVERE WEATHER: A low pressure system to our west and a warm
front conspired to produce severe weather across western parts of the
Alabama Friday afternoon and evening. Slightly unstable air and
decent wind shear produced spinning storms over Northwest sections of
the state. "Significant damage" was reported southwest of Haleyville
from a possible tornado. Several funnel clouds were observed in
Marion and Walker Counties. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

WEEKEND WEATHER: As the low moved northeast, it dragged a cold front
across the state overnight, pushing a lagging area of rain eastward.
Rain will be ending from the west across the area today. It should
end over western sections by midmorning, the I-65 corridor by lunch
and East Alabama by mid-afternoon. Skies will begin to clear some this
afternoon. It will be clear/cool overnight. Tomorrow should dawn
bright and sunny, setting the stage for a nice day.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The fine weather of Sunday will carry over into the
new work week, with dry and slightly cool conditions for early
November expected. We should be rain free through Friday.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: The Magic City Classic is a huge Birmingham
event. There will be rain for the parade this morning, but it should
be mostly gone by the game this afternoon. Carry some rain gear and
a light jacket because of the temperatures near 60F and the brisk
northwest wind. Auburn will host Ole Miss this morning with an 11:30
kickoff. Rain is a good bet. Temperatures will be in the lower 60s.
UAB is on the road at UTEP in El Paso, Texas (2:00 kickoff); the sky
will be
sunny with a kickoff temperature near 65 degrees.

RACE WEATHER: There could be some light rain for the truck race
today at Talladega, but the weather for tomorrow's Amp Energy 500
should be ideal: sunny and slightly cool with a high in the middle 60s.

WEATHERBRAINS: Episode 197 is going to be a memorable one as
legendary storm researcher Dr. Chuck Doswell visits with the panel.
Much of what we know today about severe storm structure and tornado
formation comes from a blockbuster 1979 paper that Doswell and Les
Lemon wrote. It will be a fascinating hour. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com

ON THIS DATE IN 1876: Viewed to be the worst cyclone to have moved
across the Bay of Bengal during the 19th Century, the Backergunge
Cyclone devastated the northeast coast of India, killing 100,000
people. The city of Backergunge, (now Barisal, Bangladesh) was
inundated by the 40 foot storm surge of the cyclone, destroying nearly
all of its 1,700 buildings. The Bay of Bengal is shaped like a
funnel, and as a cyclone pushes its storm surge into the narrowing
bay, the surge is able to rise to dramatic heights. There was a
telegraphic warning service being developed by the India
Meteorological Department, but it had not been extended to the port of
Backergunge. Experts believe that a cyclone similar to the
Backergunge storm today might kill one million people. Follow my
