THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: We’ll start off the day with some patchy fog during the morning, but once that lifts we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds while staying dry. Temperatures will be a little warmer, reaching the upper 70s to the lower 80s.
Sunday will start off decently, but moisture will begin to work into the area from the south and southwest. With the heating of the day, a few isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms may fire up during the afternoon and into the early evening. Highs will be in the lower to mid-80s.
THE WORK WEEK: A cold front will approach from the west on Monday and eventually move through Alabama during the second half of the day. There will be enough lift for scattered showers and storms to form along and ahead of the front. Chances will be less than 50/50, so not everyone will get rainfall. Highs will be in the lower to mid-80s.
We’ll see a big difference in high temperatures behind the cold front on Tuesday, but we’ll have rain likely at times throughout the day. No thunder is expected as the cooler temperatures will lead to a more stable air mass. Highs will top out in the upper 60s to the mid-70s.
Rain is out of here by Wednesday, as the cold front will be over the East Coast and across the northern Florida peninsula. We may have a stray shower pop up during mid-afternoon, but that is looking highly unlikely. Skies will be mainly sunny and highs will be in the lower to mid-70s.
Thursday and Friday will feature plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures, a bit below normal for the beginning of October. Afternoon highs on both days will top out in the upper 60s to the mid-70s.
TROPICS: Tropical cyclone activity is quiet across the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. No new tropical cyclone formation is expected throughout the next five days. Beta has completely dissipated, so we have nothing to keep our eyes on the map for the moment.
ON THIS DATE IN 1955: Hurricane Janet underwent extreme deepening in the Caribbean south of Cuba. Janet went from a Category 1 to a Category 4 hurricane in only 24 hours. A U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane was lost within Janet – the only recon plane ever lost to a hurricane.
ON THIS DATE IN 2004: Hurricane Jeanne with its 60-mile-diameter eye made landfall at Hutchinson Island, Florida, the same place Hurricane Frances had made landfall three weeks earlier. Winds were 120 mph with a central pressure of 950 millibars. Wind gusts of 128 mph were recorded at Fort Pierce, Florida, and 122 mph at Vero Beach, Florida. The storm surge reached 10 feet and Live Oak, Florida, recorded 10.88 inches of rain. As a weakening Jeanne moved inland over the Southeast during the next two days, the storm spawned 42 tornadoes. Total damage was $6.9 billion with five deaths in the U.S. A week before, the hurricane had produced excessive rains in Haiti, with massive flooding and mudslides that resulted in more than 3,000 deaths.
