**I will crank out a Weather Xtreme video later today when I get into the office at ABC 33/40**
TERRIFIC THANKSGIVING: The weather doesn’t get much better. A cloudless sky with an early morning low in the low 40s, then warming into the mid 60s by afternoon. The weather will remain mostly sunny on “Black Friday” with a high in the mid to upper 60s.
WEEKEND CHANGES: Low level moisture increases Saturday, and the NAM and GFS are hinting that a few showers could break out over West Alabama Saturday afternoon with a cloudy sky. Then, a batch of rain and storms will blow into the state late Saturday night and Sunday, with potential for 1 to 2 inches of rain. The good news is that global models still show absolutely no stability, meaning no significant chance of severe weather despite the impressive dynamics.
FOOTBALL SATURDAY: Indications are that most of the rain will hold off until after the Alabama/Auburn game is over (the game kicks off at 2:30 Saturday in Auburn). However, the latest model runs hint that we will probably need to mention a small risk of a shower during the game with rapidly increasing low level moisture. Temperatures during the game should be in the 60s. It will also be rather breezy during the game with southerly winds 10 to 20 mph and possibly some stronger gusts. The most widespread rain arrives in Auburn late Saturday night.
MONDAY: The GFS has backed off of the idea of a deep, closed upper low, and now shows more of an open, progressive trough. This means it won’t be as cold as some of the earlier forecasts this week, and no snow flurries. Still, it will be pretty cool for November with a high around 50. We warm up slowly through mid-week.
I hope you enjoy the day with your family… Look for another discussion and a Weather Xtreme video here later this afternoon…
