An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
DRIER AIR MOVES INTO ALABAMA: As expected, we have some fog this morning around the state; once that burns off we expect a decent day with ample sunshine and a high in the mid to upper 70s. We will reach the low 80s tomorrow, but highs could back down a bit over the weekend thanks to a low level easterly flow on Saturday and Sunday. Also, some Atlantic moisture could move into the state over the weekend, but a strong upper ridge should keep a lid on any developing showers, and we will keep the forecast dry through Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: The big storm moving out of the Rockies will pass well to the north of Alabama next week; the trailing front could bring a shower or two Tuesday night, but it sure looks like a minimal event. Many spots could miss the showers completely.
THE LAND OF VOODOO: Wow… watch the Weather Xtreme video and see what the 00Z GFS shows around October 21-22. That would deliver some pretty cold air down here, but we all know about voodoo land; that might disappear on the next run.
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.
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.
This morning I will be in downtown Birmingham at Linn Park and Boutwell Auditorium for the annual community awareness day event; I figure I will see hundreds of school kids down there. I will return to the office by early afternoon and the next Weather Xtreme video will be posted by 3:30. Enjoy the day!
