OR BUILDINGS. WARM AND DRY TODAY. WARM AND DRY TOMORROW. AND THAT’S JUST GOING TO BE THE WAY IT IS AROUND HERE FOR A WHILE. WE GET INTO THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, THINGS TYPICALLY DO START TO CHANGE PRETTY RAPIDLY. WE GO FROM A VERY WARM START TO A COOLER FINISH AND HURRICANE SEASON EVEN CHANGES TO YEAH, SO WE ARE NOW PAST THAT PEAK OF THE HURRICANE SEASON, BUT IT’S NOT TIME TO LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST YET. WE DO STILL HAVE A FEW MORE MONTHS TO GO UNTIL HURRICANE SEASON OFFICIALLY ENDS. I DID WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT’S GOING ON OUT IN THE TROPICS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS ALL THAT’S LEFT OF HUMBERTO. REMEMBER, HUMBERTO AT ONE POINT WAS A REALLY LARGE CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE. NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE. IT IS NOW JUST A REMNANT LOW. IT IS OVER AND DONE WITH. WE’RE ALSO STILL TRACKING HURRICANE IMELDA. IT IS GOING TO BE MOVING TOWARDS BERMUDA HERE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. SO THEY’RE GOING TO BE FEELING DIRECT IMPACTS FROM THIS SYSTEM. BUT AFTER THAT IT CONTINUES OFF INTO THE OPEN ATLANTIC AND THEN THE REST OF THE ATLANTIC RIGHT NOW FAIRLY QUIET. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. AND NOTICE HOW MUCH WE STILL HAVE TO GO IN TERMS OF WHERE WE COULD SEE THAT TROPICAL ACTIVITY. SO DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST YET. WE DO STILL GET HURRICANES IN OCTOBER, AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE ON THE STRONGER SIDE IN TERMS OF WHERE THEY DEVELOP, THOUGH. THE RED REGION IS WHERE THEY’RE MOST LIKELY TO DEVELOP. SO YOU SEE NORTHERN CARIBBEAN UP TOWARDS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA INTO THE BAHAMAS AND OUT IN THE ATLANTIC. THAT’S TYPICALLY WHERE WE START TO KIND OF SHIFT OUR ATTENTION FOR THE FORMATION OF THOSE STORMS. THE GOOD NEWS, THOUGH, IS AS WE GET LATER INTO THE FALL, THE MORE LIKELY WE ARE TO SEE FRONTS COME THROUGH. THAT KIND OF HELPS TO STEER THOSE SYSTEMS AWAY FROM OUR AREA. THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT STEERS ALL OF THEM, THOUGH. I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF OUR HISTORICAL TRACKS. THESE ARE FOR MAJOR HURRICANES THAT HAVE IMPACTED ALABAMA IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER THROUGHOUT HISTORY. AND A FEW OF THESE THAT YOU MAY REMEMBER. DELTA AND ZETA, BOTH IN 2020. YOU CAN SEE THOSE TRACKS THERE MOVING ACROSS ALABAMA. OF COURSE, HURRICANE OPAL IN 1995 BROUGHT IMPACTS TO ALABAMA AS WELL. HURRICANE KING 1950 AND THEN HILDA THAT RODE ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST IN 1964. SO STILL A FEW MORE MONTHS TO GO. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, RIGHT NOW WE DON’T SEE ANY TROPICAL TROUBLE FORMING THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT ALABAMA AT LEAST IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. AND JASON, REALLY NOT MUCH TO BRING US ANY RAIN IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. NO. VERY OFTEN IT’S A TROPICAL SYSTEM THAT BRINGS SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN OCTOBER, AND WE MIGHT GET JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A PIPELINE TO THE TROPICS WITHIN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS TO HELP BRING SOME SHOWERY WEATHER BACK. THAT’S ABOUT THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT, BUT THERE’S JUST NOTHING OUT THERE THAT’S MAKING ANY REAL IMPACT AROUND HERE TODAY. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN ON THE WARM SIDE. UNLESS YOU GOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A QUICK LITTLE SHOWER LIKE THIS ONE. THAT’S JUST NOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF GORDO. THAT’S U.S. HIGHWAY 82. THERE’S 159. THIS IS PAST RIGHT OVER GORDO, AND IT’S TRYING TO GET TO STANCIL AND PICKENS COUNTY. BUT IT’S HAVING A REALLY TOUGH TIME GETTING THERE. BETTER TO SEE THESE ON THE COMPOSITE AND LOOK HOW IT’S MOVING. YOU’VE GOT THE CLOUDS THAT ARE GOING FROM ANNISTON TO BIRMINGHAM TO TUSCALOOSA TO MERIDIAN AND COLUMBUS. THAT’S BECAUSE THERE’S DRIER AIR BLOWING IN FROM GEORGIA RIGHT NOW. AND NOT ONLY IS IT DRIER, IT IS VERY, VERY DRY. WE’RE GETTING WAY DOWN ON THE SCALE HERE OF THE KIND OF HUMIDITY THAT WE WOULD HAVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND REMEMBER, THE GROUND IS ALREADY VERY DRY. SO YOU ADD EVEN DRIER AIR ON TOP OF IT AND WE GET SOME COOLER NIGHTS, AND THE DAYS ARE GOING TO STAY PRETTY WARM. YOU GET A BIGGER TEMPERATURE RANGE IN ENVIRONMENTS LIKE THAT. NEXT FEW DAYS WITH THAT DRY AIR AROUND THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, THERE’S NO CHANCE OF RAIN. SUNDAY WE BRING IN SOME SHOWERS, MAINLY SOUTH OF I-20, AND THEN I’M BECOMING A BIT MORE OPTIMISTIC, BUT ONLY ABOUT 30% WORTH. OPTIMISTIC THAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SHOWERS MONDAY, TUESDAY, MAYBE WEDNESDAY. BUT LIKE LAST WEEK, THERE MAY BE SOME PLACES THAT REALLY GET A PRETTY GOOD DOWNPOUR. AND THEN A WHOLE LOT OF US THAT JUST WONDER WHERE IN THE WORLD THAT CHANCE OF RAIN WENT. 60 IN THE MORNING, MID 80S TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THE TEMPERATURE DOES COME DOWN A LITTLE. TOMORROW WE’RE AT 85 ON SATURDAY, 85 ON SUNDAY. A BETTER CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR TWO ON SUNDAY. BUT FOR UAB, LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. OUT OF PROTECTIVE STADIUM ON SATURDAY. KICKOFF AT 11:00 79 DEGREES FOR BAMA AND VANDY. ABOUT 85 AT KICKOFF IN TUSCALOOSA. WARM AND DRY THROUGHOUT THE GAMES AND THEN WE GET TOWARDS SUNDAY WITH THAT LOW CHANCE OF A SHOWER. AND THEN IT JUST VERY HIT OR MISS. BUT AT LEAST THEY’RE OUT THERE MONDAY, TUESDAY WEDNESDAY DOESN’T REALLY COOL US DOWN MUCH AS HIGHS REMAIN I
