An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Be sure and scroll down for a drought update issued by the NWS/Birmingham at midday today. Interesting reading.
A benign weather pattern continues through Saturday, with mostly sunny comfortable days and clear chilly nights. Highs will be in the 60s, with lows in the 30s. The colder valleys should see a light freeze early tomorrow.
OUR NEXT RAIN EVENT: A shower is possible Sunday afternoon, but we still believe the primary band of showers and storms with the next cold front will come from around 6:00 p.m. Sunday through 6:00 a.m. Monday. The rain total for most communities will be somewhere in the one-half inch category, and severe weather doesn’t look very likely with rather stable air in place.
The weather turns sharply colder Monday with a brisk north wind and falling temperatures; most places will fall into the 40s, a good 25 degrees colder than the temperatures we expect on Sunday. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week look cool and dry.
LONG RANGE: The GFS continues to show a nice rain event for Alabama and the Deep South in the December 7-9 time frame; the model has been very consistent in this feature in recent days. Beyond that, lots of flip-flopping going on, so no real confidence in any specific solution.
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.

I sure enjoyed speaking to the 5th graders today at Sumiton Elementary School up in Walker County; be looking for them on the KIDCAM 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….
