Scroll down to J.B.’s early afternoon post for some late rain totals. Looks like most Alabama communities are going to wind up with less than a quarter of an inch, with isolated amounts to one-half inch. No drought buster, but at least the dust has been settled in a spots.
LOOKING AHEAD: The big cooling trend is the story. The NAM looks a little too aggressive with the cooling; it is forecasting a high in Birmingham on Thursday of 65 degrees. The GFS shows 74, which is more realistic. The GFS shows 48 by early Friday morning, and that sure looks good to us. Bottom line is that we expect sunny pleasant days, and clear chilly nights through the weekend. The bad news is that there is no significant chance of rain through Sunday.
LONG RANGE: The 12Z run of the GFS hints at our next chance of rain Monday night and Tuesday of next week with a trough passing north of here. The big story on that run is the massive upper trough over the eastern half of the nation in the October 21-25 time frame; it that happens to be correct it will bring the coolest air so far this season to Alabama, with potential for the first frost of the season. But, lets all say it together, it is voodoo now.
