FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: We were in the midst of a marathon wall to wall weather session on ABC 33/40 as Hurricane Ivan was blowing through Alabama. Today, I am sitting in the office totally relaxed, writing this discussion while munching on Honey Nut Cheerios (actually the brand X version from Target) and drinking a Dr. Pepper. Nothing on the radar, nothing happening in the tropics, and temperatures are very comfortable. Nice.
THE DAYS AHEAD: Tonight will be another nice preview of fall; with a clear sky looks like we will drop into the 56 to 59 degree range by daybreak tomorrow. The rest of the week will feature mostly sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights.
OUR WEEKEND: I still don’t think we really need to mention any significant chance of rain at this point; we will probably have some cloudy periods with the low level easterly flow, but there simply isn’t much of a trigger for rain. Highs will be close to 80 on Saturday and Sunday; some East Alabama communities might not get out of the 70s thanks to the wedge.
VOODOO LAND: Check out the Weather Xtreme video and see how the GFS handles our situation on October 2. If correct, that would get us in the 40s. But, voodoo is voodoo. It will happen at some point.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left. Scroll down for this week’s show notes from Brian.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.
I had a great time speaking to the 5th grade at Briarwood Christian today… be looking for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News. The next Weather Xtreme video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
