Weather like this makes our job pretty simple…
NO RAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND: If you like the weather today, you should love the weather through the weekend. Sunny pleasant days, clear chilly nights. No clouds, no rain. Low humidity, excellent visibility, fall colors looking good. Highs through Friday in the 60s, lows mostly in the 40s, with 30s for the colder valleys.
We note the 12Z GFS has trended warmer for the weekend; the MOS is printing 76 for Birmingham Saturday, which looks a tad warm here. Low 70s are certainly possible.
NEXT RAIN? Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 12Z GFS hints that our next chance of rain will come around Tuesday of next week, November 10. Of course, this is in voodoo land and that is subject to change. Some really cold air shows up over the northern states at mid-month, and we will be watching to see if that tries to work its way down here at some point.
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 14 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). 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. Chuck Doswell will be our guest tonight, so no doubt the show will be a fun one. It should be posted by 11:00 p.m. CST.
I had a great time today speaking to the first graders at Liberty Park Elementary School in Vestavia Hills… be looking for them on the Pepsi KIDCAM today at 6:00 on ABC 33/40 News… the 3rd graders from Moundville Elementary will be featured at 5:00; they were scheduled for last Friday, but tornado coverage pre-empted our 5:00 news. The next Weather Xtreme video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow…
