James Spann forecasts a dry start to the work week for most of Alabama from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.

COOL MORNING: The sky is cloudy over the southwest part of the state early this morning with some patchy, light rain, but for north and central Alabama it is clear and cool. Some early morning temperatures include:

• Black Creek — 54
• Weaver — 55
• Haleyville — 55
• Albertville — 55
• Cullman — 56
• Fort Payne — 56
• Good Hope — 56
• Decatur — 57
• Huntsville — 57
• Anniston — 58
• Talladega — 58
• Alexander City — 58
• Muscle Shoals — 58
• Auburn — 59
• Birmingham — 60
• Hueytown — 60
• Bessemer — 61
• Tuscaloosa — 64
• Montgomery — 64
• Mobile — 65

Sunny, pleasant weather continues over the northern half of the state today with a high in the upper 70s. Clouds linger over the southern part of the state with some light rain near the coast. Tuesday will be a partly sunny day with a high in the mid to upper 70s over the northern counties and clouds hanging tough over south Alabama.

RAIN RETURNS STATEWIDE: Clouds will increase statewide Wednesday and the rain shield associated with Tropical Storm Beta moves into west Alabama during the day. Rain becomes likely statewide Wednesday night and Thursday as Beta is forecast to be a remnant low over Mississippi by Thursday night. For now we do not expect a tornado threat, as the air will be cool and stable and the surface low will be weak.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The weather will be cloudy and occasionally wet on these three days as deeper tropical moisture will linger over the state. Look for periods of rain Friday through Sunday with a few thunderstorms possible as well. There will be breaks in the rain, of course, but if you have something planned outdoors (like high school football games Friday night) be ready for rain at times. Humidity levels will be high, and highs will be at or just over 80 degrees each day. Rain amounts Wednesday night through Sunday will be 2-4 inches over north Alabama and 1-2 inches for the southern half of the state.

NEXT WEEK: Another cool, dry air mass rolls into here Sunday night, and for now next week looks dry with sunny, pleasant days and clear, cool nights. Highs will be mostly in the 70s, with lows in the 50s.

TROPICS: Hurricane Teddy, with winds of 100 mph, will pass just east of Bermuda today before heading for Nova Scotia Wednesday as a post-tropical system. There will be no impact on the U.S. other than rough surf on the East Coast.

Tropical Storm Beta will hug the Texas and Louisiana coasts today through Wednesday, winding up in Mississippi as a remnant low Thursday. The main impact will be heavy rain; amounts of 4-6 inches are possible for places like Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur and Lake Charles. A few isolated waterspouts or brief tornadoes can’t be ruled out.

Elsewhere in the tropics, Wilfred has dissipated in the open Atlantic and the “ghost of Paulette” in the northeast Atlantic has some chance of regenerating. But no systems other than Beta are close to the U.S.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Just before midnight, Hugo made landfall on Isle of Palms, South Carolina, as a Category 4 hurricane. This storm brought strong winds to many areas of South Carolina. In downtown Charleston, sustained winds of 87 mph were reported along with gusts of 108 mph. Hugo was the strongest hurricane to make landfall on the continental U.S. in two decades. Along the coast of South Carolina, Hugo set new records for storm surge heights along the U.S. East Coast, reaching 20.2 feet near McClellanville, South Carolina. The surge and winds wrought extensive damage across South Carolina’s barrier islands, destroying many beachfront homes and other coastal installations. Hugo’s northward acceleration at landfall led to unusually large and significant impacts to forests between South Carolina and Virginia, inflicting further damage to property; in South Carolina alone the loss of timber was estimated at $1.04 billion. Flood and wind impacts followed Hugo across much of the eastern United States and into eastern Canada.
