...Another Nice Stretch of Dry Weather...

DRIER DAYS: After a total statewide soaking yesterday, improving
weather headlines our forecast today as drier air works into our
state. West Alabama will be in sunshine all day, and we are
forecasting a clearing sky for the eastern half of the state. The
clouds could be slow in leaving counties near Georgia border, but most
East Alabama communities should be in sunshine by mid-afternoon.

We are looking at delightful weather tomorrow and through the weekend,
with mostly sunny comfortable days and clear chilly nights. Highs will
be in the mid 60s tomorrow, close to 70 Friday, followed by low to mid
70s over the weekend. Morning lows will remain generally in the 40s.
Looks like another great weekend for high school football playoff
games and the college games across the Deep South on Saturday. A few
clouds will show up by Sunday afternoon, but the day will remain dry.

OUR NEXT RAIN: We will bring in a chance of showers Sunday night and
Monday; not much confidence in the amount of rain we see, or the
timing since model output has been very inconsistent. Cooler and drier
air will return by Tuesday and Wednesday.

BIG TIME RAIN TOTALS: Rain totals across Alabama yesterday included
6.05" at Demopolis, 5.54" at Moody, 5.11" at Inverness, 5.00"
at Homewood, 4.75" at Weaver, 4.75" at Odenville, 4.61" at
Clanton, 4.41" at Moundville, 4.35" at Concord/Hueytown, 4.30" at
Clay, 4.27" at Greystone Farms, 3.97" at Scrougeout (Northeast
Etowah County), 3.96" at Gardendale, 3.51" at Coker, 1.69" at
Jasper, and 1.24" at Millport.

Despite all the rain, there was no major flooding since the ground was
able to able to handle it thanks to the 8 day dry spell. Flood
warnings were issued for the Cahaba and the Tallapoosa Rivers last
night, where mostly minor flooding is expected today.
The rain, of course, was all due to the remnant circulation of former
Tropical Storm Ida, which is now a broad, non-tropical low over the
Northeast Gulf of Mexico. This low will continue moving away from
Alabama during the next 24 hours.

RAIN SCORECARD: Yesterday's rainfall at the Birmingham Airport stood
at 3.59 inches, bringing our annual total to 64.14 inches. This makes
2009 the 17th wettest year in Magic City history. The rain surplus for
the year is now over 17 inches.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to
join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm
Alert Xtreme, is coming up on Saturday November 14 at the BJCC during
the annual Birmingham International Auto Show. You will be trained by
the best SKYWARN trainer in the nation, our own Brian Peters (he has
trained over 6,000 Alabama storm spotters over the years). We
encourage all of our Skywatchers to attend this every year; you simply
cannot get enough training. We will begin at 9:30, and be out by 3:30.
And, everyone that attends Storm Alert Xtreme gets free admission to
the Alabama International Auto Show. There is no admission charge, and
no need to register. Just show up, but get there early for a good
seat. We had a packed house last year.
