An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
October ends with another beautiful day across Alabama. We rise into the low to mid 70s this afternoon under a cobalt blue sky. This kind of day is why October is my favorite month of the year…
Still no change in our thinking through the weekend. A fresh supply of dry air rolls in here tomorrow; the front will pass through dry. A few showers could be seen along the front as far south as Northeast Tennessee, but no moisture here means no rain.
For Friday through Sunday, looks like highs in the 67 to 71 degree range, with lows between 38 and 44. I am sure the colder valleys across North Alabama will wind up with some frost again in scattered spots early Saturday, and perhaps Sunday morning.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: Another front moves through Tuesday, but like our front tomorrow, there just won’t be any moisture to work with, so the chance of significant rain is pretty much gone. Then, the coldest air so far this season drops in here by the middle of next week; that should get most of North Alabama down in the 30s in about 7 to 8 days. Maybe a light freeze for many communities.
The GFS continues to advertise an upper trough west of the state and come chance of rain around November 10-11, but it is simply too early for specifics. For you winter weather fans, watch the Weather Xtreme video and see what the GFS is going around November 14. Very interesting, but all voodoo.
STORM ALERT XTREME: We hope to see you on Saturday, November 10 at the BJCC for our annual severe storm training session. Once again this year, the Alabama International Auto Show is a sponsor of Storm Alert XTREME, and it will be held at the BJCC. This is your chance to learn more about Alabama weather, and to be trained as a storm spotter. ABC 33/40 Meteorologist Brian Peters, long time WCM (Warning Coordination Meteorologist) for the National Weather Service in Birmingham, will teach a basic and advanced course on spotting small scale features within thunderstorms that are very important to meteorologists. Read more about Storm Alert XTREME here. If you attend Storm Alert XTREME, you get into the Alabama International Auto Show free!
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.
WEATHER PARTY: Get all the latest weather news over on our sister site, WeatherParty.com. Be sure and register while you are there; you can submit stories and vote on them to determine what is published on the front page. This is a great way to find the latest weather-related news stories.
I am on the road again this morning… headed to see the kids at Fayette Elementary. I will be back in the office by early afternoon, and the afternoon Weather Xtreme video should be posted by 3:30 or so. Enjoy the day and Happy Halloween.
