THIS AFTERNOON: Yet another delightful afternoon for Alabama, with bright sunshine and temperatures in the 70s.
THE WEEKEND: The weather pretty much stays the same tomorrow, but we will bring in the risk of widely scattered showers late tomorrow night (mainly after midnight) and Sunday with a surface boundary slipping into Northwest Alabama. Initially the front won’t have much upper support, but the main trough arrives Monday when rain will become widespread.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: It looks like a great weather night for high school football play-offs. With a fair sky, temperatures at kick off will be around 59º to 63º; it will drop into the 52º to 57º range by the end of the games. No rain will fall around Alabama today or tonight.
For tomorrow’s Auburn/Georgia game at Jordan-Hare Stadium (2:30 p.m. CST kickoff)… the sky will be partly sunny with a temperature in the upper 60s at kickoff, falling into the upper 50s by the final whistle. Alabama will host Mississippi State tomorrow night in Tuscaloosa (6:15 p.m. kickoff)… clouds will increase during the game, but there will be only a small risk of a shower. Temperatures will fall from the low 60s at kickoff into the mid 50s by the fourth quarter.
NEXT WEEK: Still looks like a good, beneficial rain for Alabama Monday and Monday night with amounts of 1 to 2 inches likely. No severe weather, and not much thunder with a stable airmass in place. The rain ends early Tuesday, with some clearing by Tuesday afternoon. The latter half of the week will be cool and dry, with a freeze possible by Friday morning.
THANKSGIVING WEEK: The 12Z GFS doesn’t look as cold over Canada, and keeps Alabama in a rather benign weather pattern for the Thanksgiving holiday. See the Weather Xtreme video for complete details.
TROPICS: A disturbance in the southern Caribbean has some chance of becoming a tropical depression in coming days, but we won’t expect it to impact the Gulf of Mexico, Again, check out the Weather Xtreme video for details.
STORM ALERT XTREME: Our annual storm spotter training is TOMORROW at the BJCC, as part of the Alabama International Auto show. We begin at 9:00, and you will be done at 2:00. And, as a “thank you”, you will get free admission into the car show. There is no cost, and no need to register, just show up. Brian Peters will be the trainer, and we ask all existing and potential Skywatchers to attend. See you there!
