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.
DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: No doubt we will run out of words (at least I will, with my third grade vocabulary) to describe this great fall weather as it continues through the weekend. Sunny pleasant days, fair cool nights will continue. Afternoon highs will be in the 67 to 71 degree range through Friday. Ridging over the weekend will being highs up into the low to mid 70s, a little above average for November. Morning lows will be mostly in the 40s, with 30s possible for the colder valleys. The coldest morning will be Friday, with some of the colder spots could approach the freezing mark with upper 30s elsewhere.
NEXT RAIN: Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 00Z GFS continues to hint the next rain will come Monday night and Tuesday of next week. Some decent dynamics will be involved and we might deal with a few strong storms at the time.
VOODOO LAND: A cold looking pattern sets up for the eastern half of the nation at mid-month, but that is all voodoo for now. See the video for more details.
ALASKA COLD: Saw this interesting observation from our Skywatcher in Girdwood, Alaska, Todd Foisy, who happens to work for the National Weather Service up there: High 23.1/Low 17.7/Current 19.5/Precip 0/Snow Depth Trace Our high today was 2F colder than our average low. When it gets that cold up there, we all know that air has to move at some point. See Todd’s weather data at his site here.
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. We had a great time having Chuck Doswell on the show last night… scroll down for show details.
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.
Today I will be going a weather program at Rocky Ridge Elementary School in Hoover… the next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 3:30 this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
