...Rain Returning...

Regional radars late on this Sunday morning show a batch of showers sliding eastward across Northern Mississippi and western Tennessee. The showers produced just under a quarter inch of rain at Memphis. At 11 o'clock, it was raining in Greenwood, Mississippi, where 0.07 inches had fallen in an hour. These showers will reach Northwestern Alabama this afternoon, affecting areas mainly from Lamar and Fayette Counties northeastward to Huntsville. The main rain will come later tonight, as moisture pooling ahead of a trough and surface front to the west of Alabama moves eastward. Showers will become likely during the overnight hours, lasting into Monday morning. In the I-59 corridor, it looks like the best chance for rain will come between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. Rainfall amounts should average about a third of an inch. Highs this afternoon will be in the middle 60s. Lows tonight will drop to around 50 degrees.

THAT'S ROUND ONE: Our winds will veer to northwesterly during the day on Monday, allowing drier and cooler air to spread into Alabama. Monday night promises to be on the chilly side, with lows in the middle 30s. There could be some patchy dense fog Monday night as skies quickly become clear and allow the low level moisture from the wet ground to condense. Tuesday looks like a pleasant late fall day with partly cloudy skies and highs in the 60 degree range. But things will already be changing again…

ROUND TWO: By lunchtime Tuesday, a potent low pressure system will be moving northeastward along the Texas coast. Our winds will pick up out of the east during the evening and rain will overspread Central sections of the state. A band of heavy rain will set up to the east of the track of the low, which should be right along I-59. It will become quite windy overnight, with winds averaging 12-22 mph. It looks like The I-59 corridor should see one to inches of rain, with 2-5 inches over South Central and Southeast Alabama. Much colder air will spread into the state behind the departing low. Thursday looks like it will be a miserable, blustery day with falling temperatures in the 40s, gusty northwest winds and some light rain. There could be a brief changeover to light snow over extreme Northeast Alabama.

WEATHERBRAINS: A busy show coming up tonight. Storm chaser Roger Hill will talk about his passion for the monster storms. Dr. Kris Wilson will talk about the AMS Television Weathercaster climate change survey. And from across the pond, BBC weather presenter Hannah Bayman will discuss the terrible flooding that struck Great Britain a couple of weeks ago.

ON THIS DATE IN 1969: A patch of dense fog on the New Jersey turnpike near Camden caused a chain reaction accident during morning rush hour. A truck, carrying liquid propane, slowed when it encountered the fog and was struck from behind by a tractor trailer. Sixteen cars piled into the wreckage and a massive fire ensued, completely destroying ten of the cars. A total of six people died, and twenty were sent to hospitals. Both the north and southbound lanes of the superhighway were closed for hours as the cleanup and investigation were performed.
