An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
A cold front will pass through Alabama tomorrow in dry fashion, and bring a fresh shot of drier air into Alabama for Friday and the weekend. We might actually see a few isolated showers along the front in Tennessee, but with weakening upper support and no moisture, I still don’t see a need to mention any significant chance of showers for the north-central part of the state.
Looks like a high around 70 over the weekend, with early morning lows well down in the 40s. Some upper 30s are possible for the colder valley locations across North and Central Alabama early Saturday and Sunday morning. Yet another great weekend for football, or anything else outdoors.
NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS shows another front moving through here on Tuesday, in dry fashion, followed by what could be the coolest air so far this fall season. Looks like highs will drop into the low to mid 60s by Wednesday, with 30s by early Thursday morning. The colder valleys could see a light freeze, with frost possible almost anywhere. Unfortunately, still no rain is expected through all of next week.
VOODOO LAND: Model madness rules… no way we can be specific beyond seven days. But, I think the screaming message is that much of the nation, including Alabama, will have colder than normal temperatures for much of November. Hopefully we will catch a good round of rain or storms prior to one of those cold air shots moving in here sometime in the November 10-14 time frame.
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. And, remember, if you attend the show, you get free admission to the Alabama International Auto Show.
