...Sunshine Returns...

Did you set your clocks back an hour last night? If not, you are
going to be real early for your activities this morning. So that's
why no one was at church when you got there….

ONE OF WETTEST OCTOBERS EVER: Brian Peters has been diligently
tracking October 2009's climb up the rankings of wettest Octobers
ever in Birmingham. He shows it is the 4th wettest October ever, with
7.88 inches. The NWS says it ranks as the third wettest October. The
State Climatologist page agrees with Brian. We are waiting on an
official review. We are already the 24th wettest year ever. As Brian
pointed out, if we just have normal rainfall between now and the end
of the year, 2009 will likely finish as the sixth wettest year ever in
Birmingham history.

WELCOME TO NOVEMBER: Skies cleared across Alabama late Saturday
afternoon, setting the stage for a clear and cool night. A little
patchy fog is likely in spots thanks to the moist ground and excellent
radiational cooling conditions. With mostly sunny skies today,
temperatures will warm into the middle and upper 60s. Nearly perfect
weather for the Amp Energy 500 at Talladega.

FINE RUN OF WEATHER: Today will be a preview of a fine run of weather
that will be with us through at least Thursday. Afternoon
temperatures will slowly warm to near Our winds will become
southeasterly again by Thursday and moisture levels will start to
slowly rise, but only isolated showers are expected through the weekend.

VOODOOLAND: After next weekend, a fast moving cold front will bring
chilly air to Alabama by the 10th. That should be a chilly week with
plenty of fair skies. No real major rain systems are seen on the
horizon over the next two weeks.

TROPICS: The Tropical Atlantic is deader than a doornail. The GFS
and other global models show no signs of tropical development over the
next two weeks.

MARION COUNTY TORNADO: The tornado that touched down near Thorn Hill
in Marion County late Friday afternoon was rated as an F1 by the NWS.
It had a path length of 2.8 miles and a width of 200 yards. Four
homes, three outbuildings were damaged.

WEATHERBRAINS: It's the podcast that's all about weather. Spend
an entertaining hour each week with some of the big hitters in
weather. People like Tom Skilling, Tim Samaras, Bill Read, Stu Ostro,
Eve Gruntfest and Bob Henson. This week, it is legendary severe
weather researcher Chuck Doswell. Talked to Keith Blackwell, tropical
expert from the University of South Alabama this week. He will be on
the show soon. Follow WeatherBrains on Twitter @weatherbrains.

ON THIS DATE IN 1870: At 7:35 a.m., United States Army Signal Corps
observers at 24 sites around the country simultaneously made weather
reports and transmitted them to Washington where a national weather
map would be drawn. This started the process of sending out weather
reports by telegraph to metropolitan newspapers. This would be the
beginning of our present day National Weather Service. Follow my
weather history tweets @wxhistorian on Twitter.com.
