COOL AIR ARRIVES WITH THE MONTH OF OCTOBER: Right on cue, the coolest air so far this season will arrive on the first day of October on Wednesday. The NAM shows a high of only 69, while the GFS is at 75. The truth is probably somewhere between those two values… no rain with the front tomorrow evening; the air is simply too dry.
We will be down in the 40s both Thursday and Friday morning… we have to wonder if the colder valleys will get into the upper 30s. Bottom line is that we can expect beautiful, cool, crisp fall weather during the latter half of the week.
OUR WEEKEND: Dry is the word… sunny days, clear nights. The 12Z GFS is coming with warmer afternoon temperatures, with low 80s on Saturday and Sunday. Morning lows will be in the 50s.
WE NEED RAIN: Still no sign of any really big rain event for the next two weeks… this is a very dry time of the year, so that is to be expected. And, no sign of any tropical activity in the Gulf that would impact Alabama. The fire danger will remain high.
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. We will have a new episode available tonight by midnight.
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 had a great time seeing the 6th graders this morning at Berry Middle School in Hoover… be looking for them on ABC 33/40 News at 5:00 this afternoon. The next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow….
