...Rain Back In The Forecast...

Rain is returning to the forecast for Central Alabama in the near term as a big upper low over the Central part of the country edges southeastward and weakens. An approaching cool front will increase clouds this afternoon and set off a few showers overnight tonight into Tuesday morning. Rainfall rates will be light, less than a quarter of an inch. Highs this afternoon will be in the lower 70s. Temperatures tonight will back into the lower 50s.

REST OF THE WEEK: The front will edge into Georgia on Tuesday, taking most of the showers with it. Sunshine should return, but temperatures will be cooler, with highs in the lower 60s. As the upper low rotates into Missouri, drier air will give us partly cloudy conditions on Wednesday. Highs will again be in the 60s after an overnight low in the 40s. It looks like high pressure will remain in control of our weather on Thursday, with a mix of clouds and sun.

HEADING TOWARD THE WEEKEND: By Thursday night, another upper level trough will be swinging eastward toward Alabama. Moisture will be meager across the state, however, and the prospects for rain appear to be low at this time. The best chances appear to be for Friday afternoon and night, and should be gone by Saturday. Even on Friday, rain chances should be less than 1 in 3. Saturday and Sunday look dry, with highs in the upper 60s. Weekend lows will be in the 40s.

HOLIDAY WEEK SNEAK PEEK: It looks like a strong storm system will affect the Mississippi Valley and Deep South on Monday the 23rd. We could see strong storms and heavy rain. The bad weather will move to the East Coast on Wednesday. We look cool and cloudy for Thanksgiving and into weekend.

A HISTORIC NOR'EASTER: The low pressure system that was leftover from Ida energized a powerful East Coast nor'easter that brought record storm surge flooding to places like Norfolk, VA. The storm surge at Sewells Point in Norfolk was 5.96 feet, higher than the previous record from Hurricane Isabel. Heavy rains of 6-11 inches fell over eastern North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. Winds gusted to 74 mph at the Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia.

WEATHERBRAINS: Tonight, Mike Smith, CEO Of WeatherData Services will discuss the role of private weather firms, the success of the warning system and how his company has evolved over the years. Future guests include Cleveland weatherman Dave Goddard, Stormchaser Roger Hill, famed broadcaster Roger Hill and a look at ice storm preparedness. Follow our tweets about the show: we are @weatherbrains at Twitter.com.

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: An early morning tornado killed 8 people at Riegelwood in Columbus County, North Carolina. The twister struck at 6:38 a.m. A tornado watch and tornado warning were in effect when the storm struck. A severe thunderstorm warning was issued at 6:21 a.m. and upgraded to a tornado warning at 6:29 a.m. The tornado was an F3. The tornado was the third deadliest North Carolina tornado since 1950. It was also the 72nd violent F3 or greater tornado since 1950 in the Tar Heel State.
