Good Morning!   Random isolated widely scattered showers are possible again today, but not many. The Drought continues to worsen. Expect upper 80’s again today. A  cold front is approaching.  Some very nice Real Fall Air will arrive soon.Highs in the 70’s by Friday.  Nights will fall to the 50’s. Should be a great Fall Weekend.  Perfect weather for the Alabama National Fair. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Sun/cloud mix.  Random isolated widely scattered showers are possible. High 87.  Light wind.  Low tonight 65.

A cold front enters the state today and makes it down to the coast by tomorrow morning,

Not many showers are expected.  Again today, FUTURE RADAR is quiet and disappointing.  

NEXT FEW DAYS:  Spotty showers, maybe a thunderstorm are possible Wednesday.  A cold front is on the way.  Thursday’s high will struggle to reach 80.  Late week – nights will fall to the 50’s.  Some nice Fall air is on the way.

Here’s the 10 day Model Blend temperature trend.  Get ready for some really nice Fall air.

The prospects for any significant rainfall is not good.   After today, little or no chance.  New Drought Monitor comes out tomorrow.  Not good.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK: 

Tropical storm Jerry is getting stronger and could become a hurricane by tomorrow.  It will curve into the open Atlantic. “Fish storm”. 

Elsewhere:  There is still that Area to Watch in the southwest Gulf.  Small chance of development. 

Besides the Tropical activity – there is a POWERFUL Non Tropical Low off the US Middle Atlantic Coast which could produce 50-70 mph wind gusts, along with tremendous wave action!

The EURO Ensemble models Member Lows are still highlighting some potential future trouble from the west Caribbean to Florida and into the Gulf. This is a favored area this late in the season.
