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.
STILL WARM TODAY: We expect a high today between 80 and 84 degrees with a good supply of sunshine as the upper air high continues right on top of the Southeast U.S. But, the west is covered with cold air, and we will feel that by the end of the week.
Showers in advance of the cold front should slip into Northwest Alabama tomorrow afternoon, and we will continue to mention a chance of showers tomorrow night into Friday morning. Still looks like most of the showers will be out of here by midday Friday. And, as the showers end, much cooler air slips in here. Both the NAM and the GFS MOS products are showing a high of only 70 Friday with a cool north breeze. Looks like temperatures will be dropping into the 50s during the high school football games Friday night.
VERY NICE WEEKEND: Doesn’t get much better… a cobalt blue sky Saturday and Sunday with a high around 70 Saturday, and low 70s Sunday. Early morning lows will be mostly in the 40s. Gotta love it.
NEXT WEEK: The 00Z GFS is hinting our next rain event will come at the end of next week, around Friday October 24… but we are out there in voodoo land, so that could change.
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.
STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm Alert Xtreme, is coming up on Saturday November 15 at the BJCC during the annual Birmingham International Auto Show. You will be trained by the best SKYWARN trainer in the nation, our own Brian Peters (he has trained over 6,000 Alabama storm spotters over the years), and learn from one of the most brilliant weather researchers in the country, our own Dr. Tim Coleman. We encourage all of our Skywatchers to attend this every year; you simply cannot get enough training. We will begin at 9:30, and be out by 3:30. And, everyone that attends Storm Alert Xtreme gets free admission to the Alabama International Auto Show. There is no admission charge, and no need to register. Just show up, but get there early for a good seat. We had a packed house last year.
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.
Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
