An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
MORE COLD AIR: A new shot of cold air blows into Alabama today; despite a sunny sky most places won’t get out of the 40s, and wind chill values will be down in the 30s.
Tonight looks like our coldest night so far this season; we figure the range at daybreak tomorrow will be from 17 in the coldest valleys to 35 on the ridge tops; most places will wind up somewhere between 22 and 27.
REST OF THE WEEK: Yet another surge of cold air arrives Friday; that looks like another day with a high in the upper 40s with a brisk north wind.
WEEKEND PEEK: Cool and dry is the story; a rather strong vort max moves over the state on Saturday, but no moisture means no rain and only a few scattered clouds. It now looks like we will drop into the 20s early Saturday morning; highs over the weekend will be in the 50s.
THANKSGIVING PEEK: Hey, this is voodoo country since we are still beyond seven days. But, the NAO trends toward neutral territory, and the GFS hints that rain will be possible on Thanksgiving and the following day. Then, on December 1, the 06Z GFS shows a whopper of a negative tilt upper trough that would bring a chance of severe weather. No way of knowing exactly what will happen, but for now the end of November and the first part of December look warmer and unsettled. We could use the rain, but we will also have to be on the lookout for severe weather.
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. Scroll down for the show notes for the new episode we recorded last night.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.
I will be out at Chelsea Intermediate School today for “Lunch With Mr. James”… then I will be in the office by early afternoon, and the next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 3:30. Enjoy the day!
