...Fall Back Tonight...

I am writing the forecast as I roll through the West Georgia
countryside onboard AMTRAK's Crescent on a gray and misty fall
Saturday morning. The sleepy little towns roll by outside my
window: Douglasville, Villa Rica, Temple, Bremen, Tallapoosa.
Soon I will be back in Alabama. The trees are beautiful right now,
painting the landscape with yellows, oranges and reds.

FALL BACK TONIGHT: According to the clock, sunrise will seem a lot
earlier in the morning. So will sunset. We switch from Daylight
Saving Time to Standard Time overnight tonight. Officially, the
switch occurs at 2 a.m. local time. But you don't have to set your
clock for 2 a.m. to turn back time. Just do it before you retire for
bed tonight. You'll get an extra hour of sleep overnight!

RAIN SLOW TO LEAVE: The cold front that pushed through Central
Alabama overnight and this morning was slowing its forward progress.
The upper trough is swinging through Mississippi this morning,
producing quite a bit of post frontal precipitation. Rain will
gradually end from the west through the afternoon hours. The clearing
line had reached I-55 in Mississippi by mid-morning, and will progress
across Alabama this evening. I think we could see a few peeks of
sunshine over western areas late this afternoon. Folks at Legion
Field should have the rain gear handy, as well as a jacket for the
cool temperatures and brisk northwesterly wind.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND: By morning, skies should be clear across Central
Alabama. There could be some patchy dense for or low cloudiness
early, but most of the day will feature sunshine. Highs will be in
the middle 60s. Another clear and cool night is on tap for Sunday
night. Then we will settle in for a few days of fine fall weather.
Through Friday, you can expect a good deal of sunshine with fairly
seasonable temperatures. Highs will gradually warm to near 70.
Overnight lows will be in the 40s. A few showers could return Friday
as southeasterly flow increases moisture over the state. Showers will
be around Saturday and Sunday.

WEATHERBRAINS: We have a fine slate of guests prepared for your
enjoyment on the podcast that's all about weather. Dr. Chuck Doswell
will be on Monday night. Famed wind engineer and severe weather
expert Tim Marshall will be with us next week. Mike Smith, the
President of the private meteorological firm WeatherData will join us
to discuss what is right about the severe weather system. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com

ON THE DATE IN 1984: According to Tom Grazulis of the Tornado
Project, there has only been one fatal aircraft accident involving a
tornado. A tornado was nearby when a single-engine plane crashed south
of Topeka, KS on this date in 1984, killing all three people on board.
The tornado killed two people on the ground. The airplane was about
10 miles south of the Topeka airport, and probably about a mile from
the tornado as the pilot talked by radio with to air traffic control.
A minute later people in a house heard a crash in a nearby field, but
thought it was debris from trailers they had seen the tornado hitting.
They didn't investigate. The next morning the wreckage of the
airplane was found in the field. Follow my weather history tweets on Twitter.com
