Good Morning!  We continue to deal with summer-like warmth.  Yesterday’s high of 87 was a new record.  It will be a HOT Election day today as we head for the mid 80’s.  (The Record is 87)  But, stand by.  Wednesday will be a much cooler day. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

Comfortable Thursday, high in the mi 70’s   Friday will be a little warmer.  Comfortable, high in the upper 70’s.   This weekend, we’ll see the coolest air of the season so far.  Much cooler Saturday.  Breezy with highs in the 60’s.  Sunday and Monday we’ll only be in the mid 50’s.  Expect a freeze Sunday and Monday AM.  

COLDER AIR is in our future!   Take a look at the 10-day temperature blend.  Get ready for a change of wardrobe.

Some of Nicole’s rainfall could spill into extreme east Alabama, but the news for most of us is still rather bleak.

Hurricane Warning for portions of the Bahamas.   Hurricane Watch in effect on the Florida coast.    Nicole is expected to come ashore on the Florida east coast late Wednesday night as a category 1 hurricane. Nicole will take a right hand curve and move up along the SE US coastline.
