Anyone remember this one?
“Everybody’s working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go”
Seems like I haven’t had a real day off in weeks… I am looking forward to this weekend.
IRON BOWL: A great day for the game in Tuscaloosa tomorrow… lots of sunshine at the beginning of the game with mid 60s at kickoff; the mercury will drop into the 50s by the forth quarter as the sun goes down over Bryant-Denny Stadium. This football season has really flown by.
SUNDAY/MONDAY: The upper trough really sharpens up again across the Deep South, and we turn colder on these two days. There is a tremendous amount of positive vertical motion Sunday night and Monday, but very little moisture. You have to figure we will have clouds around, but probably not much precipitation. Here are some values off the 12Z run of the NAM/WRF model for early Monday morning:
1000-500 mb thickness: 5334 meters
850 mb temp: -7.2 C
500 mb temp: -24.5 C
If any precipitation does form, you have to figure we will have snow flurries with numbers like that. We will continue to mention some risk of drizzle or flurries for Sunday night and Monday, mainly east of I-65. The NAM/WRF is not bullish on precipitation amounts; the model only shows 0.01″ for Birmingham. Just too dry for much.
REST OF NEXT WEEK: A warming trend begins on Tuesday, and by Thanksgiving day we will be well into the 60s, maybe approaching 70. The week should be dry.
WHERE ARE YOU? Be sure and put a pin down for your location on our Frappr map. It will be fun to watch that thing fill in in coming days.

I am posting this early today so I can participate in an event in the Center Point/Pinson area… I will be getting into the office a little late today so trying to stay ahead of the game. Have a wonderful weekend; Brian Peters and Bill Murray will take care of business here over the weekend. Maybe I can show some snow flakes on our Cheaha SKYCAM when I make my next discussion post early Monday morning!
