An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Pretty simple ongoing forecast… dry weather for Alabama for the next seven days with mild days and chilly nights. We just have to figure out the highs and the lows.
The general idea is for highs between 70 and 75, and lows between 48 and 53 through the weekend with a good supply of sunshine on a daily basis. Excellent weather for anything outdoors, but lousy weather for a state in the midst of a serious drought.
The 12Z run of the GFS continues to advertise the next significant rain rain event on November 11… a big time long wave trough shows up just west of here, with very cold air pouring down the back side of the system. If the model happens to be correct, we could be dealing with a round of strong to severe storms, followed by the coldest air so far this season. But, voodoo is the word for now.
TROPICS: Noel continue to move slowly… scroll down for the latest update on the tropical system from J.B. This one won’t really directly impact the U.S., although some of the outer rain bands and an onshore flow will bring some good rain to parts of Southeast Florida (Miami, West Palm Beach, etc) in the days to come. You can also watch the Weather Xtreme video for the latest graphics and satellite images of Noel (pronounced “knoll”!).

I really had a great time driving over to Jacksonville this morning… I will try to post some of the pictures from along the way a little later this afternoon. The crowd was great… I enjoyed speaking to the Alabama Counseling Association; those men and women do a thankless job serving our kids in schools around the state.
Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
