Before we pull out the picnic blankets and sweaters just a quick flashback on how freaky Birmingham and Alabama’s fall weather has been over the past few years.

In 2016, I’ll never forget seeing Little Canyon Falls run dry. Check out the photo.

The following year, Birmingham broke precipitation records in the late summer and early fall.  Look at Little River Falls the fall after the great drought of 2016. 

Simply stunning.

The last two years Birmingham has experienced oppressive heat waves. In fact, 2019 was the 2nd hottest September on record with 28 out of 30 days topping 90+ degrees.
